When I first started working as a nail tech an older tech in my salon had a small V shaped tool for removing the sharp edges from her files - I believe it was by OPI. Just wondering if anyone knows what it’s called or where I could get one from, taking the sharp edges off files is my least...

I recently switched from NSI to CJP acrylic, which I’m loving! 75% of my clients nails have been perfect but a couple are coming back losing nails, chipping/breaking etc. Has anyone got any troubleshooting tips? I know you need to work drier with CJP, but does CJP need to be applied...

I run a home nail salon however I’m also trained in waxing. I’m thinking of offering brow waxing in the new year, I’m not sure if I should buy a reclining chair or keep my current arm chair - which I also use for pedicures. How many of you have the client sat up for brow waxing? This is my...

When infilling my clients nails there was a black smudge/line horizontal across the nail plate. I soaked off the acrylic however it left a small stain. (See photos) It was only affecting one nail, and I'm pretty sure it isn't a greenie, but just confused as to how the nail could have been...

I've got a new client who's old salon used to use Vintage Rose by Attitude and is looking for a similar or the same colour. I can't seem to find any decent swatches of it online and can only find one supplier of it in gel polish - although the site looks a little dodgy (maybe selling off...

I usually use NSI Platinum forms but they don't carry them at capital anymore and I hate using the NSI website (terribly laid out and can never find anything!). What's everyone's favourite forms?

Do you guys find posting last minute cancellations or available appointments to social media improves your bookings? I'm thinking of doing it to fill up those "gappy" diary days - but I wouldn't want to put people off contacting me/booking if I didn't advertise a time slot that suited them...

I use kitchen foil and cut it into squares for soaking off gel polish but it's pretty time consuming to cut up all the squares! Has anyone ever tried using highlighting foils since they're the right width and usually come with a dispenser so would make cutting them up a lot quicker. Would it...

I'm feeling a little uninspired with pedicures at the moment - so I'm looking for a new system! I like using the same scent through all products (soak, scrub, massage etc). I'm currently using cuccio - but not a massive fan of the packaging and only really like the vanilla bean and sugar...
