I currently use Moyra stamping polishes. They have UK distributor and really good price. And I like them much more than Mundo de Unas or Konad. Unlike MDU they don't have strong scent and they don't separate, so no need for shaking or stirring. Also, I found that MDU does not pick up very well...

Try it, love it! As they say... I am all fours for INK! My clients love it as well. If finances doesn't allow you to buy their lamp, you can try out different lamp, I haven't had issues using other lamps. You can buy their lamp later on, once you are sure you will be using them.

I do understand You had a baby recently and this is the first time you have gel polish on after giving birth, is that correct? If so, it must be understood that pregnancy and labor are huge shock factors for organism. It's a hormonal tornado really! And hormones regulate everything in your body...

Picture isn't of the best quality - out of focus. Looks like some kind of trauma. She may have hit or squeezed it somehow - judging from the growth it could have happened 4-6 weeks ago. Seems current nail plate is growing out as new one is formed. Yet only doctor can tell for sure. If it is...

Hello! I hope someone can help me with a problem I have. I am using Young Nails Protein bond and I totally love it. The problem is, I am running out of what I have stocked, as the distributor in my country (Latvia, Europe), from whom I bought it, no longer exists, and there is no one else who...

Only if she truly is CND instructor, she can be enforced by CND to follow the correct steps. If she is not, I doubt there is much CND can do, in that case your best bet would be going to authorities responsible for "nail tech education" in your country - then they could check if her...

As your profile says you are based in Scotland I would suggest trying INK London matte top coat. It has a good price point and is a professional brand. Bluesky is not. I have added a photo of comparison. Left: INK Matte top coat; Right: INK Flexi no wipe top coat.

No buffing for Shellac in Latvia as well.

YN protein bond really is a miracle and has improved durability of my services. I am not sure about Shellac, as I haven't used it with Shellac, however, other brands that I have used (for example, INK London) perform much more better. Especially, with those clients who always get lifting and...

I have set limits for family members, who get my services for free - my mom, my sister, my husband and his mom (she always helps us a lot, so it's kind of my way of repaying her). All the rest have to pay full price, even my grandma, aunts and best friends. Sometimes, when someone helps me in a...

YouTube is full of tutorials on how to apply crystals in many different ways. For future, I suggest you watch some of them and try out which way works the best for you. However, keep in mind it takes time to master crystal application, no matter which method you choose. It took me about...

It is some what popular in my country, but mosly due to one nail school, which promotes it, like a lot, however, they sell cheap "china" airbrush stuff for like 10 times the price. I know it's not a new technique, however, I am thinking of investing in airbrush gun etc. my self, because a lot of...

I really suggest you invest in a good one, don't buy cheap ones, because they really are useless...I did learn it the hard way, sadly 50 euros wasted. Even if you don't use it, you still will be able to sell it for good price, like 150 pounds or so, because it's a good quality product. And keep...

I, as well, really hate doing baby boomer (ombre) on gel polish and if requested to do one, I charge extra, plus I try to convince the client to have only one or two fingers per hand. The best way you can achieve this look is by airbrushing - but that is a big investment, money wise. Here is a...

Haven't tried them, but if you're interested in stamping polish and plates I can recomend you Moyra stamping polish and plates - I recently ordered them and they work really well with cheap stampers from Aliexpress/Ebay.. I prefer their polish over Mundo de Unas and Konad, their plates are very...

Can't really give an advice on tables, as mine was made specifically. However, I can share my experience with chairs. Currently I have big fancy leather office chair which I got for symbolic 2,50€ from IT company as they were buying new ones and throwing out old ones. It was used before, but...

A friend of mine started her career with GELeration, although, I offered my help with choosing the brand for her, she refused and made the decission her self. I was and still am doing her nails, so within 6 months after she invested in the brand, she started to complain to me about it.. She said...

I use INK London products. You can look it up on this forum - all the good things people say about it are 100% true. About IBD - I have never worked with it myself, but I had my nails done with IBD and it didn't wear well, started lifting and some poped off completely. And this is considering...

I am using INK London. I really enjoy it and totally love it - as well, products are the best in any way, among all the brands I have tried. Price is great too and it's made in UK. You can read more about it within this forum, just search for INK London. You have to be licensed to buy it.

I always wear face mask doing nails, no matter what - mani, pedi, gelpolish, gel, etc. It cannot really protect you from fumes, but it will protect you from dust, which is big deal. It may seem that amount of dust is minimal, while doing one client, and you inhale only fraction of it, but summ...
