    What would you do about this bruised nail bed?

    Her nail might be separated where the bruise was, she might lose that nail. It is hard to tell from the photo. Her nail could just be thicker in that spot now too. Personally I would do it, but I would also let her know that if it changes in any non positive way you won't put product back on...

    CND acrylic powders

    I don't think they can go bad, especially if kept they way you have. Liquid....that would be another story.

    CND Brisa Lite advice - good, bad?

    I'm in the US and I was told it was not popular globally.... I have always loved CND but I can't help but feel they are full of crap in their reasoning.. They also told me the reason why the additives are 1/4 the size as they used to be ( but same cost) was because they listened to the nail...

    Rude customers/people

    Help with identifying what's gone wrong

    I have had clients "melt" their shellac on toasters or toaster ovens, anything that gets super hot. That was kind of what that looks like.

    Shellac discolouration at tip

    I have had dish soap stain shellac French before. It happened to be the blue dawn dish soap ( I'm in the states, not sure if you all have dawn dish soap) it seemed very odd though.

    Stamping - Shellac or polish?

    I stamp with shellac all of the time, it works fabulous! You can also stamp with the CND additives. Fingernail fixer has a video on both ways on YouTube. You can either stamp on the color coat or top coat then stamp and top coat again. You do not need to remove the tacky layer first, this gives...

    Why has Brisa Lite Clear been discontinued?

    I'm in the US and can not find brisa lite base either. I emailed CND and have not gotten a reply, I then messaged them on Facebook with no reply. No one locally can answer my questions. I get most of my news from you all from way across the pond!

    Bitten nails

    What am I doing wrong, disheartened

    What's with the dry wipe? You do not wipe the nails after the base coat or after the smoothing gel.. Only after curing the top coat..

    Help, major SOS

    It could be a tiny hair is stuck in the nail fold. I'm 99% sure that it's infected. I suggest soaking it in Epsom salts. It should " come to a head" and pop..

    Vinylux Crushed Roses?

    Wow... I'm going to try this combination.. The problem I have when creating a color using beau or any sheer color is that the new color has a shimmer to it. I like that, but clients sometimes don't
