Hiya,
I've recently started having problems with the gel lifting from just the tips. It only really happens on my thumbs and only on myself.
(Majority of my clients are gel polish though).
Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening?
I file the tips when blending and remove shine...
Hiya,
So I've got the knack down to keep smaller crystals set but when I used the larger crystals they didn't last very long at all.
I normally set them in uncured hard gel and then cure, fill in gaps and cure and then top coat around the whole nail and cure.
They sit quite high on the nail...
Hiya,
So I bought the colour shack pigments the other day and I think I'm finally getting the hang of blending them for baby boomers but I'm finding the pink to bright and the nude too pale.
Can anyone recommend the perfect pink or nude pigment to blend with the white please?!
Thanks :)
Hiya,
I've never used foils before but I have been asked for the shattered glass effect.
I bought some of the foil from eBay and have cut into strips but just want to confirm if I apply over the tacky colour coat or top coat?
Will the foil lose it's effect after the final top coat?
I have...
Hiya,
How do you all store your crystals?
I feel like nobody is really choosing them when they come to their appointment because they never see them.
I have them in little pots at the moment but they are hidden, I don't want to waste them using them on nail pops.
Inspire me :)
(Btw I work...
Hiya,
Just wanted to know if anyone has any experience dying Foxy Locks extensions?
I currently have honey spice ombre but I am now dark brown so want to match them but not ruin them.
I'm going to get my hairdresser to do them when she colours my hair but she hasn't had experience with dying...
Hiya,
Popping over from nails as I need help [emoji85]
I'm going away next weekend to Tenerife but I am Lilly white!!! I normally use St Tropez self tanner for everyday tan but obviously I know chlorine will affect tan.
Can anyone recommend the best spray tan to get please? The best brand that...

Hiya,
So I've gone from blonde ombre to dark brown in the last few months but my colour is fading so bad and so quickly. I expected this though so that's not the issue.
I just wondered if there was anything I could use between colours to keep the colour? At the moment it needs re-doing every 4...
Hiya,
I'm really struggling with shaping short extensions.
I did the attached set on Saturday and they were a really nice tapered square shape but she wanted them shorter and more square and they ended up like this.
I'm normally always doing quite long stiletto or ballerina shapes so when it...
Hiya,
Does anyone know where to go around Oxford for a relaxing spa day?
I've found a couple but the reviews aren't good and the Belfry is Mon-Fri only!
Ideally I would want a package including 2 treatments but I could live with 1 :)
Thanks!!!
Hiya,
I've just had my hair dyed back brown after a couple years being blonde.It was thinning for a while but this doesn't seem to be happening any more but I want to thicken it up again and help it grow. This normally happens when I lay off the straighteners.
However, I left it to dry...
Hiya,
Has anyone trained with Ellisons academy for St Tropez Spray Tan?
Or just trained in St Tropez?
I am looking at doing the course so I can start offering spray tans along side nails but just want to make sure I choose the right one.
Also, experience using the tanning solution? Longevity...
Hiya,
I'm just wondering how long it takes for you guys to do a full removal of gel extensions and then a full set?
I try and avoid but my clients natural nails had caught up and she wanted them cut right back again.
It took me 1hr 30 mins to remove last night, file off not soak off. And then...
Has anyone had much success with hard gel baby boomers?
I rarely use acrylic so I want to get it right with gel but it just never looks smooth and blended enough!
I use Cuccio T3 led in pink and white.
HELP ME! :confused:
TIA
Hiya,
I use St Tropez Express all the time - I apply Sunday's normally and then Monday or Tuesday and then take off and re-apply the following Sunday (if I leave it any longer it goes so patchy!)
I have to really scrub to get it off most of the time and even then it doesn't all come off.
Any...
Hi,
I have a client who had gel extensions a couple weeks ago. Her nail was knocked when someone jumped on her hand lifting her own thumb nail.
It apparently bled a lot and is now very tender and swollen and looks slightly yellow.
She washed it and wiped with anti-septic wipe and then covered...
Hi,
I use a lot of regular nail polish over extensions but find it chips really easily.
It doesn't matter what brand I use but they always seem to cheap about 5 days in.
I always cap the edges with the polish and top coat and layers aren't too thick but it's driving me mad.
I've got a few...
