Hi everyone, Thanks for the feedback on the previous critique. I read Gigi's tutorials on finishing and tried to concentrate on a more consistent shape. Any better??

Just practicing sculpting with gels on myself. I have a hard time getting a sharp smile with gels so I tried filing it first. Would love any feedback!

Hi everyone, I've been working really hard at sculpting pink and whites and blending cover pink so it looks natural. I always get good feedback here. I'd love to know what you all think :Look_righ

Hi everyone, I feel like I reached a major breakthrough today. I finally understand 'lateral structure'. I wanted to share these and hope you all can give me some feedback. These are liquid and powder.

These are a new set of hard gel sculpts with one of Gelish's new summer color 'Showstopping' Feedback is welcome

Hey guys, Here's another set, any feedback is welcome! Jesse

Hello, Me again! Here is a set of acrylic. I used a paint on white. But still would love any feedback. I'm trying really hard to keep my hands on all nail systems. I know the white to pink is not ideal, but we did the cover pink look for a while, now this client prefers the sheer pink...

Hi everyone :D Always value the quality of feedback I get from this site, so I thought I'd put these up for critique. These are hard gel, a couple sculpts, mostly overlays at this point. Would love to know what you think of the shape and profile. I didn't choose the colors :o Next time I'll...

Hello everyone, I see this section is a little quiet lately, but I wanted to share these. I've been working really hard on my L and P smile lines. Would love to know what you think! Thanks for looking :Look_righ

Hello Salon Geek! Haven't posted a critique in a while, but just wanted to share these. Tell me what you think...

Happy Sunday everyone! So I'm doing alot of Gelish services right now. And I'm thinking about scheduling the client for removal for the last 15 minutes of another appointment to get her wrapped up. I'm thinking that this will help in two ways. It would make a better use of otherwise idle...

Hi everyone, Thought I would share these with you. I haven't posted here in a while, but I've been working really hard to perfect my L&P application. And I hardly ever offer extended nail beds, because I couldn't quite get it blended correctly. So I thought I'd work on that. These are EZ...

Hi everyone, I was just curious what goals you all have for improving your business or your skills for the new year? My goal is to be able to do any typical salon service in 1 hour flat! Obviously I'm not talking about 3d nail art or stilettos, but avg P&W, colored french and all maintenance...

Hi everyone, I have a website through Salon Builder. It's in my signature here. Would love any feedback. Thanks in advance, Jesse

Watching the new Shellac videos, I couldn't help but notice that Cuticle Away was omitted from the prep procedure. They said for best adhesion, don't use C.A. on most clients. Is this their recommendation for all treatments now? I was just wondering, because I had 2 clients today that I...

This will be for the website, and I'll have a pricelist at my station. Sorry if this belongs in the Biz Geek Section. Would love any feedback! Natural Nail Care: Spa Manicure - Hands are cleansed, nails expertly shaped, and all dead cuticle is gently and thoroughly removed from the nail...

Hi Everyone, Just wondering what your experience has been with this. I'm going to be renting space in a salon with another nail tech. Has anyone tried going in higher or lower? What are the pro's and con's? Or should I have the same basic price as the other techs (very basic menu) and have...

I live in the US, but I'm sure this is a problem in Europe and the UK as well. I'm so tired of journalists and Doctors giving out the wrong information and speculating about the safety of our services. Today, a Doctor claimed that UV lights will cause skin cancer. I know this has been...

Hello All, First of all, I hope I can use the "TPTW" (thought provoking thread of the week) in my subject line. I really enjoyed these and had a question that I think could lead to an interesting discussion. How savvy is the average consumer when it comes to nail services? It seems that...

I did a search on this, but couldn't find what I'm looking for. I'm not asking if I should offer one or the other...I want to use both, but I'm not sure how to choose the right system. If you work with both gel and l&p, what is it about each client that helps you decide which system to use...
