Hey I was wondering if you use different size straws to do spirals? If so where do you find the different sizes? Should I just hit up all the different fast food places? AMOR |

This is something you can look for at stores like Walmart or other supermarkets. It is very helpful to have many sizes beacause not all nails are alike. Maybe some client will want to have a spiral in the middle finger or in the pinky so you need both thin and wide straws. I have neon straws, they look really nice with bright colors the clients like and the thinner ones are stripped. Search in the stores.

yea, if you don't want to spend money on buying them. Go to the fast food places. I usually cut one into about 4 or 5 pieces, so one straw goes a long way. Chicago's Puerto Rican Nail Tech    Mz. Angie |

Thanks. I am going to try one on my pinkies for new years and already have straws that fit them but it made me wonder about the other nails. AMOR |

The best straws come from Wendy's and McDonald's for some reason the ones from Taco Bell and Burger King Don't help to the base of the sprial. LIFE IS ..... www.Mahoganydomynails.yahoo.com |
