My mum has regular chemo and she did have lots of problems with her nails. I get her to use solar oil regularly and she has a manicure every fortnight when i apply toughen up 2 coats of polish and a top coat. She is never without polish and i think this helps give a little extra strength. Her...

Thanks a lot that was just what i was looking for. Has anyone used this and what did you think?

I wondered if anyone else has the details of the massage ball (don't know how else to describe it). I saw it at the beauty show in manchester. I saw it there and my friend said she wishes she had got one so i am trying to track down the website. They were about ten pounds. Can anyone help ???

I worked for forever living products for about a year training people on the cosmetics and worked alongside a herbalist doctor who had amazing results with the right diagnosis. Not all the products work for everybody but i can honestly say there were very few people that did not benefit from...

Thanks for your replies i'm glad i did the right thing. I have filed all mma off in past and as said couldn't get anything else to stick properly because they were too damaged. x

Just wondered if anybody has done a rebalance on someone who came in with MMA nails. I buffed down as much as possible then rebalanced with gel, This is the first time i have done this as not had much experience with MMA in the past. The nails looked so much better when i finished but am a bit...

wow well done you. I simply would not be able to keep to a schedual like that in a million years you must be exhausted. I would def try getting some extra childcare to give yourself some time. Do you know any nearby mums that you could swap childcare with for a few hrs or one day a week? Do you...

Thanks for your replies. I should of worded it differently i mean that personally i am not entitled to maternity pay because of my circumstances. Hope i didn't panic anyone else there. Well it's good to know that others have worked quite far into there pregnancy with no problems. Like already...

I take about the same time as you and would really like to get my times down a bit but can't seem to manage it. I am envious of those techs who can do a set in an hr. I have thought about sculpting as i would imagin that cuts time down a little. Personally i think time just comes with practice...

I was just wondering when you gave up working when pregnant? I work from home and have started to build my clientle up which has been hard work and i'm far from busy but it's really picked up last few months. I am due to have my second baby at the end of jan and would really like to work till...

What a true and touching poem. I am a mum of a 6 years old boy and step mum to one also. I am also 20 wks pregnant and found out today that i am having another boy. Must admit i secretly was hoping for a little girl this time but those words put it all into perspective. Read it while eating...

Thanks i will try the nsi gels on my own with white tips. I take it you used the builder gel in clear?

I just wondered if anybody has used white tips with gel and got a good lasting result? If so which gel did you use and did they last till an infill? I know it is not recommended and as a rule i don't use this method however i find it much easier and quicker when doing my own nails if i use...

well sorry to put a dampner on things but i wouldn't put any cream that was not an eye cream around the eye area. Eye creams are specifically tested for use on that area to avoid reactions which can be really nasty. Also the skin is much thinner round the eyes and something too rich can cause...

My problem was applying the gel too thinly. Also getting th right shape eg; building stress area while keeping edges thiner.

Thanks i am off to ikea to look for one now. I like the idea about the stones. The bowlson that website are perfect but just to expensive at the moment for me but i will keep them in mind for the future.

Is the bottom of the bowl flat? or how is it balanced?

I would like to ask where i can get a nice large bowl for pedicures from? I usually use a foot spa but have decided to change. I don't mind if its glass, wood or stainless steel. I keep seeing them in photographs in nail mags etc but can't seem to find one to buy myself. Any ideas would be great

Thanks. I know what you mean. I think i have not been scrubbing but wiping over i tried today and when i spent longer on each nail it looked more dehydrated than usual so i think i wasn't being thorough enough.
