Previously, the adhesive would absorb natural occurring humidity from the air or moisture from the eyes.  Some clients will experience dry eyes after an appointment because the adhesive is literally drying them out until it is fully polymerized. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the adhesive has gone from liquid and fully transformed into a solid, it has completed.  Hydrogen is the molecule that it needs to complete this process.  By using a SMALL nano-sized molecule, the nanomister is providing the Hydrogen (from water) to harden the adhesive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the adhesive is hardened, it won't give off any fumes, and the curing is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI would still tell your client to keep their lashes dry for the next 4-6 hours, but that is MUCH better than before. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitive Eyes Rejoice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use a nanomister mid service for clients who are very sensitive to fumes ... or clients who talk a lot and open their eyes!  This will cure the adhesive as you work, and reduce the exposure to adhesive fumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToo Much Water\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe careful not to use too much water.  30 seconds is enough.  If you overdo it or go too close to their eyes, you risk the adhesive curing too fast on the outside, and not on the inside.  If this happens, lashes will slide off.  You might even get white spots on the adhesive (blanching).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Way to use a Nano Mister\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend using distilled water, although I have heard some folks use saline water.  You can use tap water, but it will make your nanomister wear down faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the Nanomister about 12-16 inches away from your clients eyes.  You can do one eye at a time.   30 seconds is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHope you enjoyed reading our tips!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","published_at":"2019-05-22T13:52:09-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2019-05-22T14:41:26-04:00","alt":null,"width":524,"height":449,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/4539\/2419\/collections\/Annotation_2019-05-22_143853.jpg?v=1558550486"}}]
