If you were following me at ABS via Instagram, you most likely caught that I was giving away some file packs on Monday! Although I'm a diehard CND chick and adore their files, I know lots of you love peel and stick disposable files. Flowery Professional has released a new disposable file system that has a core with peel stick grits, which cover the entire file. The grit pads come in 100/180 grits so they're ideal for enhancements or pedicures. Remember, 240 and higher is the safest grit to shape the natural nail to avoid delamination. Each Disposable Nail File System Starter Kit contains two plastic 7-in. cores, 25 shrink-wrapped 100-grit pads and 50 shrink-wrapped 180-grit pads. Both come in resealable polybags for sanitary storage in the salon. The starter kit is $11.99 for salon professionals. Who knows how much I love to giveaway things to people that couldn't make it to the show? I made the pros at the show work for their file pack by dropping photo hints and they had to track me down! Congrats to the winners of the #mehazgiveaway at ABS.
Now let's give you a challenge to win from home, shall we?
