Hi guys, Just wondered who uses the eyelash emporium glue? I use the medium glue and would say it does the job but retention could be a little better and also it irritates my clients eyes when they sit up and open them. I was looking at trying the ultra platinum glue for retention but worried...

Hi Geeks, My skin is getting very dry and sometimes itchy on my fingers. I'm slightly concerned that it's either the start of an allergy to the acrylic or just unhappy hands in general from the acetone etc. Which type of gloves do you use? I know some can melt when exposed to acetone so I need...

Hi Geeks The last few times that I've done my nails (acrylics) I've had a slight itching and redness around the cuticle area. I was starting to worry that this may be the start of an allergy due to overexposure. However, I don't get any form of rash/irritation when doing clients nails. For...

Hi Geeks. I've just finished my level 2 nail tech course which only teaches you to tip however I would like to be able to sculpt. Is this something that you've taught yourselves through watching videos or do you suggest doing a proper course? Thanks :)

What do people do with their files. Do you have a file for each client? Do you throw away files each time they're used? Do you sanitise them? I've been spraying them with mundo between uses but I'm mainly only using them on 2 people as I've not quite finished college yet. thanks

Hi Geeks I'm fairly new to acrylic but almost finished my college course. In the course you only have to use clear acrylic and colour/glitter is never really discussed even though I feel this is essential for the majority of clients. At the moment I'm just doing a natural/nude acrylic with a...

Hi geeks I'm currently using the eyelash emporium medium glue and getting fairly good retention however it is making my clients eyes sting a little and seems to take a while to set. I was scared to buy the platinum as it says it sets so quickly! What do you use?
