Barbicide Alternatives
If you don’t have cosmetiology industry license, you probably aren’t going to be able to get your hands on barricade. So I wanted to give some alternatives. The easiest thing to use is going to be isopropyl alcohol, you want to find the highest percentage that you can, up to 99%. Then soak your implements in the alcohol for the same 10 minutes. If you are just using the implements on yourself and family (and nobody has a nail infection!) this will be just fine. Otherwise a bathroom germicide type product will work as well.
I hope this helped you all out! I know that it might not be something that you always think about, but cleaning implements is a crucial step in the battle against nail infections. Don’t hesitate to comment (or send me a private message) with any questions that you may have! I’m happy to help. Also don’t forget to click “LIKE” and “Subscribe” to help support my channel!

You can buy Barbicide at Sally’s. Also the glass, tall container with pull up rack for around $16. Use Sallys coupons. You don’t need a license for that. I am very careful about nail hygiene having worked in a hospital previously. If I give manicures to family members, I have separate nail implements, files etc for each person. I put them in those plastic pencil boxes for kids (a different color for each person) I disinfect everything after each use. Thanks for the video!!!
You promised and you delivered! Thank you so much for this informative video!!
Yay! Thank you thank you!
Can i reuse the barbiside that i already used already?
Its like you read my mind! I was researching this all day yesterday!
Very cool!
Considering all the salons that use cuticle nippers on the eponychium, I’d like to hope they are going the extra step to sterilize them.
Sorry one more question: when you’re done using this stuff do you just pour it down the sink? Or what’s the proper way to dispose the used product?
Do you just let them dry after the blue soaking by themselves or do you rinse them with distilled water and then dry them with paper towel?
I just dip my things into alcohol and remove them… Why the 10 minute soak?
Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing….this was super helpful and a great tip!
A question I have for you: I recently bought something on amazon called opti-cide and it’s a health care grade disinfectant which had a ton of good reviews from health care professionals. In your professional opinion do you think that could be a good replacement for barbicide or do you urge me to get barbicide instead?
How do you clean the Barbicide recipient? How often do you replace the nail brush that you use for sanitizing?
I didn’t know how to properly get in touch with you other than here. But I saw something and I thought you could appreciate it. http://www.instagram.com/fashionnailsebellezza
You can buy barbicide on eBay
Hi. I love your channel. You are so creative. I have a completely off topic question. Ive seen all of these dip powder tutorials and I was wondering if dip powder acrylic is any different than regular acrylic powder that you use with liquid to form a bead/nail? Are they just using resin and the same powder? Or is it a completely different powder/product? It looks like the same product to me, just maybe milled finer. Thanks
