    Nail Hugs

    So who is the current uk/Ireland supplier? I've gooled it to death & can't find? I've used this (a co worker ordered from Canada ) & liked the effect! Did top coat over gel polish colour, buffed surface of cured topcoat lightly for few seconds with a block buffer, removed dust & it went on a...

    Please help-acrylic falling off after 4 days

    If there's one phrase that boils my pi** it's " they just fell off"!! doesnt happen , end of, the use of the words "just fell off" tell you everything, if extensions were things that were merely balanced on the nail surface, then yes, they could "just fall off". They're not tho are they...

    Anyone tried Alessandro nail systems?

    Look at Young Nails products, acrylic, gel polish & hard gel all good IMHO , NSI also another reputable brand , like the acrylic & hard gel, no experience with their gel polish tho as in the beginning from reading initial feedback it got off to a bumpy start! Sure this will have been remedied...

    Nail art help!

    The beauty of doing this kind of design with gel polish is you can create your design freehand (as near as dammit!) then before curing sharpen your shapes/angles with a gel brush to remove excess & straighten lines etc, I use a gelish square gel brush , I'm at home, use it all the time but...

    Megamix nails. Create your own gel polish colours with eyeshadows, nail polish

    I would contact Martin the supplier re your base coat. You may have one that's a bit off, my base coat is as easy to use & a similar consistency to the topcoat. The way you describe the base you have doesn't sound right.

    Help with nail courses in the North West?

    I can't speak from personal experience about the two courses you mention. If I were you I'd dig deeper & find out more about them. How many days training they include & what products are used would be a good place to start. Also maybe enquire as to who the educator would be & what their...

    Help with nail courses in the North West?

    I don't think you will get a comprehensive & thorough course with any well known established & reputable company for that price. I trained with NSI initially 12 years ago & the cost then was around the 450-500 mark I think! It may be worth waiting awhile & getting some more money together, it...

    Preparation with a drill

    Good vid. Although I do use an efile (where I come from a drill bores down n thru stuff!) to debulk acrylic I never use one on any part of the exposed natural nail at any time. Having said that at any demo I have seen (trade show) where they have used an efile to prep a nn, I have never seen...

    Salon using CND Shellac images but selling inferior gel polish!

    I'd say get over it ! :-) concentrate on your own business & if you're providing a professional service your trade will be neither affected or reduced. If someone is using a product that is not as advertised then clients will vote with their feet & wallets. If you are providing something...

    Effect or poor filing?

    Looks like they've used a cover pink gel to me to extend the nailbed, not the most natural looking colour but each to their own!
