Ohio cosmetology state board manicure exam

[@JTruong3rd]

Thank you. The series of videos greatly helped me passed my exam.

[@nailempire1433]

Yayyy so glad I could help and congratulations 🎊

[@sing.aaliyahk7840]

this was very helpful to actually see step by step rather than reading the instructions.

[@nailempire1433]

Yes, and making this video right before I went helped me so much, I literally scored a 99

[@tarahuck1781]

Question. If your already cleansing the nail why do you have to go back in with nail remover to cleanse it again? That just seems like ur doing a double cleanse and taking up extra time. Just asking cause I’m prepping for Ohio state boards this week.

[@nailempire1433]

I will do all three of the next part of the practical exam today’s, I want to help anyone who has trouble remembering all the steps bc there are many steps and if you miss steps you get points taken away and we don’t want that

[@juicyybuns2058]

This helped a ton. My exam is on Saturday so I would love to see the rest of your videos up!

[@nailempire1433]

Okay I’ll get them up for you this afternoon, and when you go don’t rush. You have 20 minutes okay, you got this

[@juicyybuns2058]

@@nailempire1433 thank you sooooo much!!

[@blaireteaford3707]

can you do this again but within the 20 minute time limit that testees have? so we can see the pacing we should have in order to be done in time

[@tiamaria3123]

You practice practice practice each time by using timer..she's demonstrating a.ka.teaching training

So cool to know how this works. Tfs. 😊I enjoyed watching 😌

[@aydendaugherty9432]

1.5 speed so it don’t take a half an hour to watch

[@tiamaria3123]

Be grateful...it took several times/hours to prepare and implement the video to bring it to it's finishing state to be enjoyed...so the very least one could do is say thank you

[@malainaskye1733]

I have all my parts of the exam in separate baggies on top of the table top. Is that ok? I never practiced using the drawers

[@BrittanyLabrador]

This is such a great resource! Thank you for posting. Is that sand filled glove what the state board requires you to use during the test? Not a practice hand?

[@nailempire1433]

This particular glove is filled with cornmeal, state board does not allow the use of a practice hand , I wish they did but they do not unfortunately

[@colorizedenhanced-timeless5945]

Hey there, Nail Empire. extremely exceptional video. thank. :)

[@nailempire1433]

Thank you

[@ajgthequeen]

Also for implements that aren’t disposable do you bring your own container for them to be placed in once finished being used for anything that is unsanitary ?

[@nailempire1433]

Your going to place all used implements in a bag (trash bag) when the testing is complete you grab the whole bag and take it with you- now you will be taping the paper bag to the desk which is used for all disposable implements. That one is collected at the end and thrown in the trash can.

[@deafheart23]

I have a question regarding reciprocity, if someone has a license and they're coming from a state with an hourly requirement of 300 to 400 for licensing, how do they transfer their license over to an Ohio license?

[@nailempire1433]

If you go somewhere where the license requires more hours, you can work temporarily I want to say up to 1 yr but if you plan on staying you will need to meet that states requirements. Unfortunately each state is different

[@sujataphurumboosarbuja5066]

Hi I love ur videos step by step but I got a question ? Is ur tools and cosmetics goes in same place ? Or different side plz could u reply me with sweet answer so it helps me too . Thank you 🙏

[@nailempire1433]

Yes they are harmony pro- hesion, the kit that was given to me at my school

[@pyakurelsita393]

Hi I have questions, can you please help; how can I label the implements ( writing on top box or ziplock bag ) allow or not? And also can I use barbicide disinfectants? Do we need separate trash bag and reused implements bags separately.

[@nailempire1433]

Yes it is allowed, but when you get to the state board for testing all of your implements will go in the drawer, but keep your bio hazard/ blood spill kit on the left hand corner of your testing station and be sure it’s labeled with a black permanent marker

[@nailempire1433]

Good luck

[@ANGEL-kk9ud]

Always clean your implements and back in the box dont leave them out

[@nailempire1433]

Why le testing you can not clean your implements that’s not allowed but I es absolutely before real clients.

[@carleshamarsha4406]

Hi. So it doesn’t have to be rice? We can use cornstarch?

[@nailempire1433]

You can use rice oatmeal flour corn meal

[@ashjones379]

are we supposed to wear gloves ourselves during the manicure

[@nailempire1433]

not necessarily, but I did.

[@ajgthequeen]

Can you use one polish for top and base coat or does it have to be two different ones ?

[@adrianas3820]

Can you use a cuticle dropper as long as you don’t touch the nail/skin?

[@nailempire1433]

no unfortunately its still considered unsanitary

[@sujataphurumboosarbuja5066]

Wow great 👍 love ❤️ it

[@sweetzay10]

I have a question we can't use birdseeds no more

[@nailempire1433]

Yes , please ask whatever you need to I don’t mind at all

[@cassidygordon2024]

I thought using polish remover was the 1st step.. i take my board exam in 2 days so i guess ill find out.. 😅

[@jaemarei]

very helpful, thank you !

[@audreyxxgames7009]

I thought nail brush was no longer allowed at state board?

[@nailempire1433]

Exactly what I have shown here is what I was taught and is also in the text book- also when doing a manicure I don’t see how you can clean under the nails without the nail brush. The rules may have changed bc I graduated 2 years ago.

[@arielmitchell3586]

Can we use the zip lock bags with the zipper ?

[@cass101R]

Were they fine to use?

[@kimhyeyeon2095]

Do we use oil for tip and blend or scuplted nails ?

[@autumnskyy]

Use dehydrator before putting your nail tip on. Only use cuticle oil after the sculpted nail.

[@katiew4245]

thank you this was very helpful!

[@nailempire1433]

I’m so glad, I did very well got 95% on my practical exam. There aren’t many videos for Ohio

[@talanorn1286]

do we need to have gloves on?

[@nailempire1433]

No, it’s not mandatory but wearing them do show cleanliness- I wore them.

[@nailempire1433]

Good luck

[@talanorn1286]

@@nailempire1433 did you switch out the pairs after every part of the exam? or kept them on throughout all of them? I have 2 days left, im so nervous

[@nailempire1433]

That’s a great question yes you will need to bring two hands the first hand is the hand that you will manicure and polish red or pink and the second hand is the one that you will be doing the tip, The wrap and also the sculpted nail

[@BMcMillerD]

Can I use fast drying polish?

[@nailempire1433]

Yes as long as it the colors you are allowed to use the that are permitted, but you should have the fast drying spray that comes in your kit.

[@MonicaRossman]

Hi, what disinfectant product did you use? Thanks

[@nailempire1433]

Citrus II germicidal

[@josesitodrigo6330]

Nice job

[@breannarodrigo]

💯

[@34Nails]

I noticed that in a couple of videos for Ohio State board testing you guys are using plastic gloves do you have to use a plastic glove or can you bring your own mannequin hand?

[@nailempire1433]

The mannequin hands are no longer permitted you do have to use a rubber glove filled with corn meal flower rice oatmeal which ever one of those you prefer sand but yes you do have to have the glove

[@34Nails]

@@nailempire1433 oh okay so I can just put rice inside of my glove or do I have to add something else other than just rice?

[@34Nails]

@@nailempire1433 thank you for the information

[@34Nails]

One more question are you going to do the sculpted nail form video still?

[@nailempire1433]

You can use any of this I mentioned, I have tried them all and they work very well

[@lins9274]

Can we use any buffer or do we have to use the buff n shine buffer?

[@nailempire1433]

You will need the buff n shine one

[@Dna.aesthetic]

I hope you see this question! Do we actually have to put water in the bowl??

[@nailempire1433]

Yes I highly suggest you bring a small bottle of water and after you fill your finger bowl out the water bottle into the trash bin do not leave it on your table

[@kyontri9834]

My school is ridiculous the nail teacher don't even know what she's talking about and she things passing a written test we are ready to take clients when we never had any hands on practice 😒🤦‍♂️

[@nailempire1433]

They really only teach the bare minimum, that’s why in my Chanel I try my best to help anyone who may need it. My shook was the same way, I just got close with my instructor and she helped me a little more.

[@nailempire1433]

You guys don’t practice on people at school

[@gabrielagheorghiu6734]

Are now asking to shape for real !? I thought is just pretending...

[@nailempire1433]

Yes for real you must shape in Ohio

[@nailempire1433]

I highly suggest to just do square it takes the least amount of time

[@sydneejordan1434]

Does it have to be the polishing type buffer or can it be the regular one ?

[@sydneejordan1434]

Also my nail file has the type of grit on it is that not allowed either ? Thank you so much these videos are so helpful I’ve been out of school for a while and just now taking my exam thank you again!🫶🏽
