    Airbrush white paint keeps cracking when applied

    I found that this happened if I put the white on too thickly or put the varnish on too thickly. I had to make myself do lots of really thin coats as sometimes I would blast the paint on. It may be something else but once I stopped doing really thick in one go whites it stopped happening...

    Worried about possible acetone damage on client

    Hi The cracking on the nails happened to me when I wore shellac for the first time. Basically it was because my nails are soooooo bendy that anything longer than a few milimeters of growth causes my nails to bend and causes a crack about a third of the way or even half way down my nail. It...

    Prices for Brazilians and Hollywoods

    I have found that a lot of places call it a brazillian/hollywood but they sometimes only really do a high bikini so they can charge less than me. I had a woman say that somewhere near me was doing a Brazillian for £12 and why was I so expensive. But they didnt wax the labia at all as that was...

    CND Lace Up/Corset nails

    Hiya I had an idea and i think it might help. I took a CLEAR tip and then put the white on as usual (nice smile line etc. ) but not to the end of the tip. I then did two rectangles from the white Ive just done up either side of the tip so that you have a gap in the middle which will give...

    It might just be me but when I put nail varnish over the top of my shellac it all came off ! I had decided to do a french over the shellac after a few days of it being on. I had a perfect line where the varnish had been and just bare natural nail. The shellac that had not been varnished over...
