    Which Shellac colour would be suitable?

    For a soft navy I’d suggest indigo frock and for the pink, possibly pink pursuit although it is more peach/pink but still has a neutral tone. Alternatively you could try layering to create a new colour altogether x

    Manicures/pedicures at residential homes?

    I think the biggest challenge you will face with this age group will be a) their mobility and b) contra indications. I often find older people will struggle to lift feet in and out of pedi bowls unaided, and may struggle to relax their hands due to health conditions. You will also find they are...

    Shellac bubbles problem!

    Hello! I have experienced this exact thing with a client of my own recently - it is not happening with any other clients so i can rule out the cause being down to product or application. They appear with an hour or 2, and disappear as quickly as they came. My CND LED lamp is brand new and I...

    Gel polish manicure and pedicure

    I personally would recommend you soak after gel polish application. Nails are absorbent and can swell when soaked. This may cause wrinkling of gel polish product as moisture leaves the nail x

    Acrylic brush size?

    I use a size 10 :) When I was initially training I used a size 8 as it allows more contol/prevents flooding etc. However, over time I have come to settle on a Size 10. I think when using zonal application using too big a brush will create nails that are too thick and ultimately result in a lot...

    L&P course provider

    I trained with CND and I cannot fault their training. It’s detailed, and hands on so you get a good amount of both theory and practical knowledge. I tried a few of the brands mentioned above after completing my training and have to say I just ended up going back to CND. You really can’t beat it x

    Regular polish - best brand?

    I second CND Vinylux - coverage is perfect, application is super quick as it doesn’t require a base coat (and I’ve never experienced staining) and it lasts beautifully! X

    Hi all, I currently offer CND L&p, shellac, mani & pedi and am looking to offer an additional service. I do t want to offer lashes as its not a 'quick' service and the maintenance is quite costly, I dont think it will be popular with my clients. So I'm considering spray tanning, or brows...
