Does discoloration on my toenails indicate there is still fungus present?

I have been battling toenail fungus on my big toes for more than 15 years. I first used a topical, over-the-counter treatment. For the past four years, I have been taking a prescription medication called Grisactin for the toenail fungus as well as using the topical treatment. I now have a full toenail on each foot again, but there’s still some yellow discoloration at the very end of my nails. Does the discoloration indicate there is still fungus present?

When mixing glitters, what gives more of the 3-D look?

You know how sometimes we mix several glitters together and they make that magical combination that just pops, and other times the results are just so-so? What makes the difference? What gives more of the 3-D look? I thought I read somewhere that adding either the crystal/white or a light shade to a darker shade makes it stand out better. I can only use gel so the pre-mixed with powder combinations won’t work for me.

Why do some of my clients feel a burning sensation when I use my e-file?

I have only had my license for six months, and I have definitely found that my e-file cuts down on time. The only problem is when I’m reducing the acrylic to take off old product, some of my clients feel a burning sensation. I make sure I’m not applying too much pressure. I have my RPM set at 15,000 and usually use a medium-grit sanding band. What can I do about this? Should I go back to carbide bits?
