    Anyone used Premier Gel?

    My order was missing an item and I was also sent a wrong colour.... I rang and explained and they said they would send both out to me. I then got an email asking to call back so did and they didn't acknowledge the wrong colour sent and sent me a credit note for the item that was missing meaning...

    Shellac Luxe - new innovation from CND

    Have you not tried to stamp with Luxe? On the Xperienxe day I attended we were told that it stamps really well because it's so highly pigmented. Xx

    Trade test?

    Is she definitely expecting a gel polish application not a set of hard gel extensions?

    Gel II training!

    I did the conversion course when it first launched with TCBG. I also run alongside shellac as clients kept asking for colour change gel polish and CND don't offer this option. I love it! Lasts weeks and I personally don't have any application or removal issues. I also love the fact it's a 2...

    Shellac Luxe - new innovation from CND

    I wanted to do polygel at the beginning of the year (didn't get change due to dates etc) and the educator my details were passed to also said I would need the lamp. Maybe different educators have different views on the lamp situation?

    Shellac Luxe - new innovation from CND

    I was made to buy a gelish lamp in order to complete a gelish course... I already had a working UV lamp and LED and they told me I needed theirs as they cannot guarantee that the product would fully cure in either or my other lamps...

    Shellac Luxe - new innovation from CND

    I wouldn't say it's crucial but it is under £50 and you do get a goodie bag included. Usually CND goodie bags are amazing may I add... I also don't think it will mean you can't buy the products, it just means you wouldn't see/get to try until they go on sale. Xx

    Shellac Luxe - new innovation from CND

    We are having experience days in the UK on the 1st and 2nd July ahead of the launch. I'm very excited, 60 second removal sounds a dream!

    Gloopy dip?

    I'm not sure about the gelish dip but when I trained in entity dip I was told not to hold the bottle as heat can make the product in the bottles go gloopy. Probably wouldn't put it under hot water just incase.

    Dip nails

    I offer dip nails but I personally find they sit best between gel polish and acrylic enhancements. I find if clients can't keep gel polish on they are good candidates for dip systems but if I was to extend the nails I would always go for my standard acrylic or hard gel application as I feel the...

    Entity Dip n Buff?

    Remember when applying don't hold the bottles, keep them on the table instead. This should help towards stopping your topcoat going thicker.

    New CND gel polish

    Not launching in the UK apparently. I was hoping it would though. It's a 20min removal so I was wondering if it would be better for clients who are struggling to get the full 14 days out of shellac but can get 14 out of a normal gel polish. In the US they are also a lower price point than shellac.

    CND acrylic powder?

    I've just checked and S2 still do opaque powders which is what you need for baby boomers. For example if you were using NSI you would use radient white and blend onto the nail then apply your purely pink masque which is one of their opaque powders and bled over the white. A sheer pink won't...

    CND acrylic powder?

    Don't CND do cover powders in warm, cool and neutral still?

    Entity Dip n Buff?

    It could be that you are applying your base coat thicker in some areas or the angle that you are dipping the finger into the pot.
