Common questions
What does Tips and Talons cover?
Nails, organised by the enhancement system and crossed with shape and design. Systems holds gel, acrylic and the rest, Shapes and Nail art cover the look, Nail care deals with the health of the nail, and Salon & pro follows the trade in North America.
Who is Salon & pro for?
For people working behind the desk rather than sitting at it. It carries reporting on licensing, products, supply and salon business, while the other sections stay with the work itself. Both kinds of reader use the same News feed.
Do you test products yourselves?
No. Every piece summarises something already published, whether a launch, a safety notice or a trade report, and credits the source by name with a link. There is no testing here and no best-of list.
Is any of this health advice?
No. Nail care reports what published sources say about damage, infection and product safety, and none of it replaces a doctor or a licensed technician looking at your hands. Where a regulator has acted, the piece names the regulator.
Why do articles have no author name?
Because they are written with automated assistance from the source reporting, and crediting the source is more honest than inventing a byline. Sources and methods explains the process.
How do I follow new pieces?
Through the RSS feed at /feed.xml, which carries every published piece. It works in any reader, nothing is gated and there is no account.
