@GlamAndBeyond I did pass thank you for your videos :)) and a question I paid online for my first time license application (50 dollars) I know everything will come back clean on my record, how long till I get my license?
If I'm taking my practical at home do I need separate stations? I'm confused about this since the maniquin head and holder were already setup at preexamination stage.
When taking the test from home the rater may possibly be more verbal with specific instructions. If that’s the case do not set up at mannequin during that time until it’s time for the blood exposure if you plan on using the mannequin for it . Go with the flow all will be well 🍀🍀
hi I take my exam next week and for this portion I’m wondering if we disinfect the table before putting up the trash bag where do we dispose of the paper towels we used to disinfect the table 16:52
I give my students the option of taping the bag first to dispose of the trash . If you disinfect before putting the bag on…you just hold on to the paper towel . Try not to over think it everything will be fine.
Hello! When disinfecting the table for the Monomer and Polymer service, did you throw the used paper towel in the bigger trash bag that’s tapped in the other station? Do you know if it’s okay to set up the trash bag first, then disinfect the table for this section? Thank you!
Yes, you can absolutely disinfect the workstation after taping your trash bag so yes, tape the trash bag and then disinfect that should be absolutely fine. Ialways let the students know that is something they can do.
Thank you so much for your videos! I passed my exam today!!! My licensee expired in 2015 because I never renewed it so I had to retake all my exams. I wouldn’t have been able to remember everything if it wasn’t for your videos ❤️
I’m in the same boat. I have my practical at home Monday. I can’t find odorless monomer anywhere. Could you tell me what you used and where you got it?
@@SarahRobinson-zk5gr Sally’s beauty supply sells an odorless kit also many local nail supply stores where pros buy products sell it small bottles if you can’t find in store ask 🙂 so they guide you .
question, i was told to leave the double bag from blood exposure section on the desk, just so that the radar can see that you did in fact throw everything in the biohazard bag, should i leave it or go ahead and throw it in my big trash bag before raising my hand ?
If we’re doing the blood exposure part on our mannequin head, how do we remove the bandaid before the facial section without cross contaminating anything? Or do we have to have a separate mannequin for the facial? I’m taking my test via zoom this week and wanted to ensure everything flows well. I am using one table to take my test.
Hi Do not over think it after raising your hand that you are done and they acknowledge you that you completed the blood exposure you can remove the bandaid off the mannequin throw it away and sanitize your hands and wait for the next section or right before starting the facial section once they say you may begin remove bandaid throw it away sanitize hand and proceed to getting the things you need for for facial section 😊🍀🍀🍀 all will be good!! Let me know
@@natashacolbert1421 tough question it really depends on you and how you decide to pack your kit. I suggest you check out the video of what’s inside the kit . 1…For facial and wax section same cape can be used 2. For haircut section cutting cape used 3. For permanent waving section chemical cape used And you can change again for the blowdry and thermal and keep it for the chemical services so that’s 4 capes . Some students change it for each section everyone does something a little different.
Hi, Instructor said to have a nail tip already on the whole nail and place to act as the natural nail and then do a tip over that… do you recommend this? I haven’t seen any vids do this 😵💫😵💫
It depends on the Plastic finger that you get, if you get one like the one shown in the video you do NOT need to do what you mentioned. look for a finger with free-edge . nail supply stores should sell
All disposables go into trash or the entire bag can go in bag if you choose, if you put back into your main kit sanitize hands every time and all should be good
Thank you for your videos, I’ve been watching non stop to prepare! Is there a list of supplies that need to be labeled and ones that don’t need to ? Also labeling for each bag that can be sent to me ?
I'm worried about the nail section because the PSI paper says don't use a trainer hand.... is that the same thing as the mannequin hand? Because on the list of supplies to not be labeled it says that the mannequin hand or finger prepped with tip [is on the list] I guess to be used...
Hi Trainer hand and mannequin hand are not the same . Click the link below to see what the trainer hand looks like which is what they DO NOT want you to use . www.amazon.com/Practice-Flexible-Training-Maniquin-Replaceable/dp/B095P3V9FR/ref=asc_df_B095P3V9FR/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=647216171034&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7307596707364278764&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026813&hvtargid=pla-1951476457395&psc=1&mcid=c00a69588ec43b5d9d2c95f3e14d08e7
Question? Can the nail buffer have words on it. You know the kind that has step 1-4, as in the order you should buff the nail...or does the buffer have to be plain?
Question, when doing the monomer polymer overlay the first thing you do is clean the table down where do you throw the paper towel you used to wipe it down if the trash bag is not up yet?
Personally I'm not sure what instruction to follow. I'm from the RGV area in Texas and recently graduated cosmetology school, so I'm getting ready to test. The "practical test prep" is so different from what were being taught here in these videos. There are at least 8 students who have graduated along side me who have used these videos to prep for their tests but they have all failed at least twice. To my understanding, sanitation is a huge part of the test. Yet, you are placing your bag down onto the table prior to disinfecting it? Wouldn't that be considered cross contamination? Supposedly Windex is part of sanitation in the first and last bag but I don't see any with you here? We were told we can not pick up the finger nail from the towel but you do so throughout the entire service. I understand that is the way it is done in the nail technician practical but if this is a cosmetology practical test prep, why would you use a medal nail pusher and not a orange wooden stick with cotton? The nail tip cutter? you're using a regular nail clipper. Don't get me wrong, your videos are very helpful and I'm not trying to be negative and I hope you understand that. I'm really just looking for clarification because you're showing things one way, but I'm hearing people fail for things you're doing here.
Thank you , I would say do it the way you have been trained by your school/instructor that has always been my advice , my videos are not meant to replaced any teaching from an actual school they are a simple visual to help those who have had zero assistance in school because believe it or not there are many out there and the videos have absolutely helped many pass successfully read the comments. The videos are far from perfect something else I also state in them , every school teaches state board different with the same intentions which is for the students to pass I’m very happy to hear your school preps their students for board please follow their guidance and all will be well 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 sending you positive energy
How did your zoom test go?? I live a couple hours away from my nearest testing site, so I think I’d rather do my test over zoom as well. What is it pretty thorough still, or do you think it would have been a lot different in person?
@@MirandaHerrera-nx1kc It was great! since I get test anxiety it was a lot easier doing it over zoom. It was only 2 of us taking the test and the proctor on the zoom call! It was still pretty thorough , exactly how they would do it if you were to go in person. only difference is you won't have them walking around and coming up to you which I was nervous about . So I knew zoom was the best option for me! Good luck on your test, you got this!! :)
I’m I reading this correctly can I have a thin layer of acrylic on nail so acrylic nail will stick better the day of test? As long as it’s look natural?
I have mine tomorrow ! 9/03 i’ve been graduated cosmetology since 2014!! I been practicing for over a month now with my cosmetology teacher who helped me! I’m nervous and you do things a little different so i will advice everyone to sanitize everything before touching the table that could count as crossed contamination! Also things that are not “trash” still goes in the bag of the trash, You can NOT add back anything that came out of the clean bag …
I saw someone else mention that it should not be open! It'll be odorless for SURE @@GlamAndBeyond I was just going to order a larger one, to practice with! Thank you so much for clearing that up for me!☺
i take my cosmo exam soon and one question i do have is if i need towels, hand sanitizer, trash bag & epa for my pre-exam set up, and i leave it out throughout the test, do i still have to pack towels, hand sanitizer & a trash bag for the monomer and polymer section? i’m not sure if i need to pack that as well even though im leaving those things out from the section before.
Could I take my hand sanitizer from the setup table and take it with me to the nail test and then after the test, take my sanitizer back with me where I do the facial?
Do you know if i am able to use a regular dappen dish for the monomer and then grab my polymer beads directly from the polymer container instead of using a double dappen dish ?
I take my test on the 31st and I’m really feeling the nerves! I do have a question for this portion though. Do you think it would be okay to take the EPA disinfectant and hand sanitizer from the main station? Or is it easier to have both separately in the nail bag.
@ thank you! I also had another question for blood exposure. When I was in school last year we did it on the practice finger after the monomer and polymer section. Is the blood exposure now on the mannequin head?
@ not necessarily some school train to do it on the finger others use the mannequin, either way will be fine as long as you perform the required steps.
What do I do if I need something out of my extra supplies bag? Do i leave that in my kit bag and take out what i need or do i put it out on the table for the whole test.? Also how come on the haircut section you leave your scissors/shears out too?
Hi I would leave in the kit and only take out if needed. I left the shears and cutting comb out just in case rater wants to check the haircut sometimes they do.
Hi I take my test tomorrow and I’m just worried if the practitioner will count point off if I have 2 paper towels in my bag ready for disinfecting and to set up?
hi , none of our students have ever had a problem with them having paper towels in the bag. yes you can take the roll of paper towels if you choose to everyone does something different.
another question, so if the radar does not tell us to take out our mannequin prior, do we take it out and set it up during the pre examination section, or when will we take it out ?
question, is it okay to have a roll of paper towels in my pre-exam set up bag and have that sit on my station for the entire exam? I was planning on grabbing paper towels from there if for any reason I found myself in need of extra.
They do not require a specific brand what they want is for the monomer to be Odorless and sometimes they do open the bottle to smell it, they also want the bottle labeled odorless by the manufacturer so in other words the students CANNOT label it themselves. Most nail supplies sell odorless kits/ Amazon is another option or Sally’s
I am taking my practical next week I have two questions. The room that I am taking my test is not hardwood it is carpet . And I don’t have separate table and specific chair for nail is it fine?
Love your videos they are so helpful, am about to take my practical test in a few days and I don't know if you need to bring a model for the facial part , or any other section ??
Hi Not sure if you have watched all videos in order but yes hun you want to have towels in each bag , so no you do not re use them . You can use same cape for waxing and facial service , a new cape for haircut and a chemical cape for the rest of the sections . Hope this helps
I was wondering. Can I take a nail finger pre prepped with a full cover tip thats been cut to match the plastic finger nail plate? Otherwise, using nail glue directly on the plastic finger never holds for me 🤥 but attaching the half cover tip ONTO the full cover tip thats the “natural” nail has worked wonders for me.
Hi you can absolutely prep the nail by laying a thin layer of acrylic down first before the test just make sure it looks natural … yes it does make the tip adhere a lot better and faster 😊
for the primer and dehydrator that you have listed on amazon would you recommend that over the sally beauty secrets dehydrator and and primer and do those not need to be labeled for the test when i went to take the test last year the instructor lady told me that even though its clearly labeled over labeled odorless monomer she said still has to clearly see the under label unless i remember incorrectly , but she said that she was going to let it slide and let me take the test, and other people might not be as nice when she was inspecting at the beginning of the test what do you recommend i do for this time im kinda panicking about it and over thinking it
Hi The ones on the Amazon list I have up just in case someone does not want to purchase the odorless kit from Sally’s sometimes is sold out. But to answer your question for all of the products for the monomer section must be labeled by the manufacturer. No need for you to label if it’s clearly printed on there by the manufacturer 🙂, and your all black clothing and closed toe shoes will be just fine 🍀🍀🍀
If you are using odorless yes it takes a little longer to dry, but if your waiting to feel a complete dry finish on the nail when you touch it you will not… you have to after letting dry for about 3-4min buff the top layer off to get that sticky film off the nail like I did in the video.
I got my finger and it doesn't have a nail, I added a fake nail to emulate one, is that okay? And what do the examiners check the mannequins for? My school gave us our SB ones and had us do the haircut on it, so should I get a new one?
Hello! I have noticed you placed your bag on the table first during the pre examination set up, wouldn’t you sanitize your station before taping the trash to the table and setting the bag down?
You most definitely can disinfect first I go back and forth I did it this way in the video we have had several students disinfect so well that the tape would not stick due to the table being to wet 😅 so yes you can disinfect first either way you will still be 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Another question lol can I put my pre sanitized implements in a zip lock bag instead of the clear box as long as I sanitize every time I go in and out of my zip lock bag or should I just put them in trash after I use them ??
It’s hard to say the raters are very unpredictable in what they say/do my advice would be to find something to remove as much of the stains on the mannequin before the test. I doubt it’s an issue for it having a little staining but try to remove as much of it if possible 🍀🍀🍀
Hello Yary, very good your videos help a lot to prepare us for the exam, I wanted to ask you a question regarding the part of application of eyelashes that I do not find the video, was it that they removed that from the exam?
No each bag is taken out one at a time like shown in the video, I know you don’t see the bag but each is taken out as your do each section kit remains closed.
Your disinfecting before and after each section and trying to keep everything sanitary as long as you do that you will be 👍🏼 do each section the best way you can and all will go great for you!
When you remove trash bag from desk do you walk about to you’re station and place it in trash bag? Or just take everything off the tablet place trash bag on floor sanitize hands then place main bag on you’re side? Sorry I mite be thinking too much about it.
Once you are done with the monomer section you will take the trash bag and original bag and you can put it into the trash bag that it’s taped to your main station or you can put it in the back of your main kit.
question… is it required to have sanitizer in every bag if one is already going to be on the table from the pre examination? i don’t want to over purchase supplies.
The sanitizer that is inside the pre exam bag stays on your station the entire time , recommend you see the video of everything i packed in all of the bags 🙂 so you get a better view .
Y’all I had been so inconsistent in studying for my practical, watched her videos like over 5x each within 24 hours. Then physically practiced the steps until I got it right as she went over each section. Watched the videos once again before my test yesterday. I PASSED!

question, i was told to leave the double bag from blood exposure section on the desk, just so that the radar can see that you did in fact throw everything in the biohazard bag, should i leave it or go ahead and throw it in my big trash bag before raising my hand ?
Hi
Our students do exactly what you see in the video, they dispose of the bag before raising their hand.
Also, is it necessary to always put a paper towel down to set your stuff on for each set??
If we’re doing the blood exposure part on our mannequin head, how do we remove the bandaid before the facial section without cross contaminating anything? Or do we have to have a separate mannequin for the facial? I’m taking my test via zoom this week and wanted to ensure everything flows well. I am using one table to take my test.
Hi
Do not over think it after raising your hand that you are done and they acknowledge you that you completed the blood exposure you can remove the bandaid off the mannequin throw it away and sanitize your hands and wait for the next section or right before starting the facial section once they say you may begin remove bandaid throw it away sanitize hand and proceed to getting the things you need for for facial section 😊🍀🍀🍀 all will be good!! Let me know
@@GlamAndBeyond I’m definitely overthinking lol thank you so much!
@@GlamAndBeyond Last question (I think lol) how many different capes do we need for the practical exam?
@@natashacolbert1421 tough question it really depends on you and how you decide to pack your kit. I suggest you check out the video of what’s inside the kit .
1…For facial and wax section same cape can be used
2. For haircut section cutting cape used
3. For permanent waving section chemical cape used
And you can change again for the blowdry and thermal and keep it for the chemical services so that’s 4 capes . Some students change it for each section everyone does something a little different.
@@GlamAndBeyond thank you so much, that was extremely helpful!
Hi, Instructor said to have a nail tip already on the whole nail and place to act as the natural nail and then do a tip over that… do you recommend this? I haven’t seen any vids do this 😵💫😵💫
It depends on the Plastic finger that you get, if you get one like the one shown in the video you do NOT need to do what you mentioned. look for a finger with free-edge . nail supply stores should sell
@@GlamAndBeyond thank you!!! Really appreciate your vids 🤩
To confirm, they won’t take off points when putting bags back into the main kit?
All disposables go into trash or the entire bag can go in bag if you choose, if you put back into your main kit sanitize hands every time and all should be good
my mannequin says deborah from the brand of it is that allowed or should i attempt to remove it?
That should be just fine
Thank you for your videos, I’ve been watching non stop to prepare! Is there a list of supplies that need to be labeled and ones that don’t need to ? Also labeling for each bag that can be sent to me ?
You can find the list on the PSI packet in the description box of the video .
@@GlamAndBeyondthank you for all your help ❤
I'm worried about the nail section because the PSI paper says don't use a trainer hand.... is that the same thing as the mannequin hand? Because on the list of supplies to not be labeled it says that the mannequin hand or finger prepped with tip [is on the list] I guess to be used...
Hi
Trainer hand and mannequin hand are not the same . Click the link below to see what the trainer hand looks like which is what they DO NOT want you to use .

You've been so helpful!

What did you do with the dirty paper towel once u disinfected the nail table?
You can hold it while you tape the your trash bag or tape the trash bag first then disinfect the table and throw away.
Question? Can the nail buffer have words on it. You know the kind that has step 1-4, as in the order you should buff the nail...or does the buffer have to be plain?
good question , I'm not sure our, students take a plain one . You just never know what the raters are going to look for.
Question, when doing the monomer polymer overlay the first thing you do is clean the table down where do you throw the paper towel you used to wipe it down if the trash bag is not up yet?
You hold on to it set your bag up throw it away and keep going 🙂
Personally I'm not sure what instruction to follow. I'm from the RGV area in Texas and recently graduated cosmetology school, so I'm getting ready to test. The "practical test prep" is so different from what were being taught here in these videos. There are at least 8 students who have graduated along side me who have used these videos to prep for their tests but they have all failed at least twice. To my understanding, sanitation is a huge part of the test. Yet, you are placing your bag down onto the table prior to disinfecting it? Wouldn't that be considered cross contamination? Supposedly Windex is part of sanitation in the first and last bag but I don't see any with you here? We were told we can not pick up the finger nail from the towel but you do so throughout the entire service. I understand that is the way it is done in the nail technician practical but if this is a cosmetology practical test prep, why would you use a medal nail pusher and not a orange wooden stick with cotton? The nail tip cutter? you're using a regular nail clipper. Don't get me wrong, your videos are very helpful and I'm not trying to be negative and I hope you understand that. I'm really just looking for clarification because you're showing things one way, but I'm hearing people fail for things you're doing here.
Thank you , I would say do it the way you have been trained by your school/instructor that has always been my advice , my videos are not meant to replaced any teaching from an actual school they are a simple visual to help those who have had zero assistance in school because believe it or not there are many out there and the videos have absolutely helped many pass successfully read the comments. The videos are far from perfect something else I also state in them , every school teaches state board different with the same intentions which is for the students to pass I’m very happy to hear your school preps their students for board please follow their guidance and all will be well 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 sending you positive energy
If I’m taking my test on zoom do I need a separate table for the nail section?
They might allow you to use just one but have something available just in case they will give you instructions .
If you don't mind me asking how was your zoom test ?did you need a separate table? I take mine on zoom as well next week and am a little nervous lol
How did your zoom test go?? I live a couple hours away from my nearest testing site, so I think I’d rather do my test over zoom as well. What is it pretty thorough still, or do you think it would have been a lot different in person?
@@MirandaHerrera-nx1kc It was great! since I get test anxiety it was a lot easier doing it over zoom. It was only 2 of us taking the test and the proctor on the zoom call! It was still pretty thorough , exactly how they would do it if you were to go in person. only difference is you won't have them walking around and coming up to you which I was nervous about . So I knew zoom was the best option for me! Good luck on your test, you got this!! :)
@@nbusheessence how was the setup? Were you just in a room?
And also can we take orange wood sticks instead of the cuticle pusher
Yes orange wood sticks is ok to use.
so i take my test tomorrow and i barely noticed that my odorless monomer spilled in my bag and the wordings dissolved:/ what should i do?
Omg 😫 some nail supply stores sell the odorless small kits for under $15
I passed my practical!! :) your videos helped me so much so thank you again!! also do you know how do I go about obtaining a copy of my license ?
Hi
Congratulations!!!🎉🎊
Have you paid your license fee on the tdlr website to receive your license in the mail?
I’m I reading this correctly can I have a thin layer of acrylic on nail so acrylic nail will stick better the day of test? As long as it’s look natural?
Correct
I have mine tomorrow ! 9/03 i’ve been graduated cosmetology since 2014!! I been practicing for over a month now with my cosmetology teacher who helped me! I’m nervous and you do things a little different so i will advice everyone to sanitize everything before touching the table that could count as crossed contamination! Also things that are not “trash” still goes in the bag of the trash, You can NOT add back anything that came out of the clean bag …
I take mine tomorrow too.
Did your teacher charge you again when you going back for practical? Since your graduate in 2014?
hey! with the odorless monomer, is it supposed to be "unsealed" before the exam? like brand new? or is it ok to bring an used/open oderless monomer?
it does not need to be unsealed brand new, but the label must be by the manufacturer do not be surprise if they actually smell it.
I saw someone else mention that it should not be open! It'll be odorless for SURE @@GlamAndBeyond I was just going to order a larger one, to practice with! Thank you so much for clearing that up for me!☺
@@TierneyDeBrill so far our students have not had any issues 🙌 with that . And yes no problem. Good luck
Hi! Did you take your exam in Texas? Did you had problems with it being UNSEALED? thanks!
I took test fail it already rescheduled disappointing on the testing site. Manicure tables dirty etc
What areas did you miss the most points on?
Keep pushing !! I'm rooting for you !! Good luck on your next try ❤
i take my cosmo exam soon and one question i do have is if i need towels, hand sanitizer, trash bag & epa for my pre-exam set up, and i leave it out throughout the test, do i still have to pack towels, hand sanitizer & a trash bag for the monomer and polymer section? i’m not sure if i need to pack that as well even though im leaving those things out from the section before.
You will more than likely not be using the same station, but it’s up to you on how you decide to pack it . 🙂
Could I take my hand sanitizer from the setup table and take it with me to the nail test and then after the test, take my sanitizer back with me where I do the facial?
@@cvero400 yes
@@GlamAndBeyond thank you! I take my test tomorrow morning so I'm binge watching your videos over and over lol
Do we need really a double dappen dish? Would it be ok to just take one for the liquid?
Sure, that’s just I pack our kit
Thank you so much
I have a laundry hamper that I put my trash bag in, and the hamper is labeled as TRASH, is that okay?
Yes should be just fine
Do you know if i am able to use a regular dappen dish for the monomer and then grab my polymer beads directly from the polymer container instead of using a double dappen dish ?
Yes that should be fine . Assuming you have a very small bottle of powder
I take my test on the 31st and I’m really feeling the nerves! I do have a question for this portion though. Do you think it would be okay to take the EPA disinfectant and hand sanitizer from the main station? Or is it easier to have both separately in the nail bag.
Do I have to add a tip to the finger before the exam? I was told I had to do that.
If your fingers doesn’t have a free edge like the one I used in the video than perhaps yes you might have to ..to make it look like a natural nail.
Where did you put your napkin after you disinfected at the beginning for the nail service
In the trash taped to the table
It looked like you disinfected before setting up the trash bag. But we can set up trash bag before disinfecting?
@@MirandaHerrera-om5ds yes
If there is a manicure table and chair, do we disinfect those every time if they are in the same area as our station?
Every time ? No . only when you use it for the nail section .
Hi!! Can we use a tripod that doesn't attach to the desk? One that's on the floor
Yes you can
@ thank you! I also had another question for blood exposure. When I was in school last year we did it on the practice finger after the monomer and polymer section. Is the blood exposure now on the mannequin head?
@ not necessarily some school train to do it on the finger others use the mannequin, either way will be fine as long as you perform the required steps.
Do you know if I can use a practice hand instead of the finger? I can not get the tips to stick at all to the finger
It’s the same hand used for the nail tech / manicurist exam
Try laying down a thin layer of acrylic on the plastic finger first and than apply your tip that should help
Question do we sanitize the mirror only with the pre sanitation bag or for each bag/service?
Just twice at the beginning and end of exam, you might not have a mirror.
If I don’t have an extra epa disinfectant and hand gel sanitizer for the monomer and polymer can I just the one from the ( pre exam set up )?
You can
@@GlamAndBeyond thank you !
@@GlamAndBeyondare you supposed to put everything up after the pre exam set up is complete or can you leave it out ?
@@rubycervantes793 you do exactly what I did , you leave out .
@@GlamAndBeyonddo you need 2 first aid kits?
Epa bottle does it have to have a label other then the EPA label on back.
As long as it’s labeled and visible
Hello Yary, I wanted to ask you what size is your nail acrylic brush? Also is it a kolinsky brush?
Hi ! yes I believe #6
What do I do if I need something out of my extra supplies bag? Do i leave that in my kit bag and take out what i need or do i put it out on the table for the whole test.? Also how come on the haircut section you leave your scissors/shears out too?
Hi
I would leave in the kit and only take out if needed. I left the shears and cutting comb out just in case rater wants to check the haircut sometimes they do.
@@GlamAndBeyond thank you so much!! I've been watching your videos in preparation for my upcoming exam, so so helpful! And thank you for responding! 😃
Hi I take my test tomorrow and I’m just worried if the practitioner will count point off if I have 2 paper towels in my bag ready for disinfecting and to set up?
my teacher recommended to use a roll of napkins but I been practicing the way you do it
hi , none of our students have ever had a problem with them having paper towels in the bag. yes you can take the roll of paper towels if you choose to everyone does something different.
another question, so if the radar does not tell us to take out our mannequin prior, do we take it out and set it up during the pre examination section, or when will we take it out ?
If for whatever reason they don’t ask to take it out before starting the test then you can take it out after disinfecting the workstation.
thank you so much, i take my test in the morning so im stressing 😭 and also the grey duct tape so be fine for me to take my trash bag right ?
@@jessicacalderon8200 yes tape is fine
@jessicacalderoin8200 i take mine tomorrow morning too!!!
@@cvero400 i’m so freaking nervous
question, is it okay to have a roll of paper towels in my pre-exam set up bag and have that sit on my station for the entire exam? I was planning on grabbing paper towels from there if for any reason I found myself in need of extra.
Yes you can
Can I use clamps for trash bags instead of tape for tables. Will tables be thin enough for clamps?
You should be able to use clamp if you would like as far as the size of the table I have no idea
What is the nane of all the nail stuff you used cause I know someone that went to state board with the wrong brands
They do not require a specific brand what they want is for the monomer to be Odorless and sometimes they do open the bottle to smell it, they also want the bottle labeled odorless by the manufacturer so in other words the students CANNOT label it themselves. Most nail supplies sell odorless kits/ Amazon is another option or Sally’s
I am taking my practical next week I have two questions. The room that I am taking my test is not hardwood it is carpet . And I don’t have separate table and specific chair for nail is it fine?
Hi
Should be just fine .
Thank you
Love your videos they are so helpful, am about to take my practical test in a few days and I don't know if you need to bring a model for the facial part , or any other section ??
No models everything is done on a mannequin.
Thank you so much ❤@@GlamAndBeyond
Do you need new towels for every section or can I reuse them? If so, how many towels do I technically need to have?
Also same question for the capes!
Hi
Not sure if you have watched all videos in order but yes hun you want to have towels in each bag , so no you do not re use them .
You can use same cape for waxing and facial service , a new cape for haircut and a chemical cape for the rest of the sections . Hope this helps
I was wondering. Can I take a nail finger pre prepped with a full cover tip thats been cut to match the plastic finger nail plate? Otherwise, using nail glue directly on the plastic finger never holds for me 🤥 but attaching the half cover tip ONTO the full cover tip thats the “natural” nail has worked wonders for me.
my teacher told me to prep my nail that way so thats what im going to do lol
Hi you can absolutely prep the nail by laying a thin layer of acrylic down first before the test just make sure it looks natural … yes it does make the tip adhere a lot better and faster 😊
Glam your saying we can have it already glued and product on it?
for the primer and dehydrator that you have listed on amazon would you recommend that over the sally beauty secrets dehydrator and and primer and do those not need to be labeled for the test when i went to take the test last year the instructor lady told me that even though its clearly labeled over labeled odorless monomer she said still has to clearly see the under label unless i remember incorrectly , but she said that she was going to let it slide and let me take the test, and other people might not be as nice when she was inspecting at the beginning of the test what do you recommend i do for this time im kinda panicking about it and over thinking it
also do i need a smock or just my regular black clothes fine and is there any regulations that i needs to follow or it took look like
Hi
The ones on the Amazon list I have up just in case someone does not want to purchase the odorless kit from Sally’s sometimes is sold out. But to answer your question for all of the products for the monomer section must be labeled by the manufacturer. No need for you to label if it’s clearly printed on there by the manufacturer 🙂, and your all black clothing and closed toe shoes will be just fine 🍀🍀🍀
Instead of the white box can we just label a bag (blood exposure kit)
Yes of course 🍀
i was wondering if you need alcohol for station set up and can you still use a large hefty bag instead of a duffle bag? thank you!
Yes you can take if you would like , as far as the hefty bag are you thinking for all of your bags I don’t see why not 😊
@@GlamAndBeyond thank you so much! your vids have been very helpful!
Can I move the EPA & sanitizer from my station to the nail station? Or should I bring 2 of each
Yes you can many do that .
Im not sure what im doing wrong but i cant seem to get my acrylic to dry at all. Any tips?
If you are using odorless yes it takes a little longer to dry, but if your waiting to feel a complete dry finish on the nail when you touch it you will not… you have to after letting dry for about 3-4min buff the top layer off to get that sticky film off the nail like I did in the video.
Hey just a question can I have like a “Clean white” sticker and write the labels my self?
Yes absolutely except on the monomer and polymer that label has to say odorless by the manufacturer on the bottles
@@GlamAndBeyond thank you very much for your response
Hi! I take my practical tomorrow in Dallas, do i have to have a stand manikin stand or can i just bring the table stand?
Hmm table stand what does that look like ?
@@GlamAndBeyond Like the one you used in the video, the stand that gets secured to the table or a stand that is on the floor?
do you HAVE to have the biohazard picture or just labeled biohazard?
Can just have it labeled
@@GlamAndBeyond thank you! I have my exam today and i’m insanely nervous
I got my finger and it doesn't have a nail, I added a fake nail to emulate one, is that okay? And what do the examiners check the mannequins for? My school gave us our SB ones and had us do the haircut on it, so should I get a new one?
Hi
You should be able to use the same mannequin as long as it’s not too short.
Can we take a bottle labeled dehydrator instead of tht can
No everything must be labeled by the manufacturer you cannot label it yourself for the monomer Polymer section they are very strict about that
Ok thanks
I found odorless monomer and Polymer but can't find odorless Dehydrator and primer . Where did you find yours? Thanks
@@Stephanie-ts6uk only the monomer and polymer need to be odorless the primer get acid free primer
Hello! I have noticed you placed your bag on the table first during the pre examination set up, wouldn’t you sanitize your station before taping the trash to the table and setting the bag down?
You most definitely can disinfect first I go back and forth I did it this way in the video we have had several students disinfect so well that the tape would not stick due to the table being to wet 😅 so yes you can disinfect first either way you will still be 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Does the mannequin need to have black hair or it doesn’t matter?
Does not have to be black hair
@@GlamAndBeyond thank you!
Another question lol can I put my pre sanitized implements in a zip lock bag instead of the clear box as long as I sanitize every time I go in and out of my zip lock bag or should I just put them in trash after I use them ??
Yes they can be in a zip loc and yes you can throw them in trash after use.
Are we allowed to put our bags on the floor? I was told that we throw it in the trash once we put everything in the table
Do as you have been trained by your instructor. 😊 everyone does things a little different with the same intention of a passing score 🍀🍀🍀
my mannequin is a bit old and has blue stains on the face how i have no clue but would they allow that?
It’s hard to say the raters are very unpredictable in what they say/do my advice would be to find something to remove as much of the stains on the mannequin before the test. I doubt it’s an issue for it having a little staining but try to remove as much of it if possible 🍀🍀🍀
My exam is in 20 minutes! I arrived an hour early and have been watching the videos since I parked! SO nervous!!!

Hello Yary, very good your videos help a lot to prepare us for the exam, I wanted to ask you a question regarding the part of application of eyelashes that I do not find the video, was it that they removed that from the exam?
Hi
The eyelash strip application was removed over 1 year ago. 😊
When you are setting up, did you take out all of the bags out of the duffle bag and zipped it up and put the bags on top of the duffle bag?
No each bag is taken out one at a time like shown in the video, I know you don’t see the bag but each is taken out as your do each section kit remains closed.
@@GlamAndBeyond so for each section, take one bag out and zip the duffle bag closed?
I take my exam today!! Prayers please 🙏🙏🙏
🍀🍀🍀
So we won’t get points off for placing our bags on table before epa ?
Your disinfecting before and after each section and trying to keep everything sanitary as long as you do that you will be 👍🏼 do each section the best way you can and all will go great for you!
When you remove trash bag from desk do you walk about to you’re station and place it in trash bag? Or just take everything off the tablet place trash bag on floor sanitize hands then place main bag on you’re side? Sorry I mite be thinking too much about it.
Once you are done with the monomer section you will take the trash bag and original bag and you can put it into the trash bag that it’s taped to your main station or you can put it in the back of your main kit.
How are you getting label on bag to stick
On the duffle bag? Packaging tape
question… is it required to have sanitizer in every bag if one is already going to be on the table from the pre examination? i don’t want to over purchase supplies.
The sanitizer that is inside the pre exam bag stays on your station the entire time , recommend you see the video of everything i packed in all of the bags 🙂 so you get a better view .
yes ma’am i did watch them that’s why i was curious if additional ones were required if we have the one of the table for all sessions 😊
Taking my exam tmrw . So excited
🍀🍀 let me know how it goes
We won’t get points off if the monomer original bag is on the floor?
If you have space on the table you can leave it on the table but the bag is pretty much empty, once done you’ll pack everything back inside it 😊
Do I need to disinfect the stool after finishing?
Sure why not the more you disinfect the better 🙂
