    L&P training-NSI brush help

    It's definitely worth looking at different brushes, the one that came with my OPI kit was awful, I think they put the cheapest one possible in these kits sometimes! I just bought one that is larger than I would usually use (about a size10) and it has a long lid that keeps it protected and then...

    Name feedback

    Social media should be your first port of call when choosing a name. You want to make sure that you have consistency and are easy to remember across all platforms so as well as checking for a website domain name you also want to make sure your name is available on the big social media websites -...

    No odour liquid and powder?

    The resin is to speed up the hardening process. Nothing to do with lifting, that's down to the usual application and prep - but because the acrylic takes longer to harden before you apply the resin it gives you more "play" time to get everything in the right place! Sent from my Nexus 7 using...

    CND Formation Tips discontinued?

    Thanks Wee Fee for the clarification, that sucks for me as I find the formation tips fit much better on a nail biter, I really struggle with the velocity tips for some reason. Unfortunately liquid and powder is in the minority here in Calgary and has got such a bad rep from the NSS that most...

    Manicure routine

    My understanding is that you would assess the nails first to see what kind of conditions are present and then decide whether to do the soak. Conditions like delamination and brittle nails are usually caused by too much exposure to water (I usually find these conditions in clients that work in...

    Gluten free skin care and SPF skin care - expert advice please

    Yes actually that is very helpful, although it does undermine my whole thought process of needing an SPF. I am assuming Environ doesn't have an SPF moisturizer? I am interested to see comments from professionals using a an SPF one too to see if it's conflicting. I am also off to do some more...

    CND Formation Tips discontinued?

    Because honestly Geeg CND are a lot of hard work, besides being in the US and costing me a long distance phone call, they takes weeks to get back with an answer! Besides, this is really information that my supplier should be providing me with, I shouldn't have to be doing the work for them. I...

    Nightmare Shellac removal!

    Some techs over here are doing the same thing with the sandwiches for several reasons, one because they can use a base and top coat that are cheaper, two because a lot of people have questioned the use of "genuine" shellac so they have had to get the real thing in but the poor unsuspecting...

    I usually just Google mine, you can also share ones from other postings on Facebook, just remember to share them on your business page rather than personal time line. Also make sure under your business page that you have liked companies whose products you use as well as local radio stations...

    CND Formation Tips discontinued?

    My Supplier tells me that CND have discontinued formation tips, certainly in the clear range, is this correct? The E-mail from their distributor was very vague and just indicated that they don't have them, no explanation no ETA. Can anyone advise?

    How do I get more likes for my FB page?

    Make sure you are posting some non business related stuff too. People will be turned off if you are constantly hitting them with what's on offer or nail and beauty stuff. You want boys to like your page too as they have girl friends who may be potential clients. Today I posted a funny about...

    Gluten free skin care and SPF skin care - expert advice please

    Hi Skincare geeks I was hoping for some advice around a skin care line I am looking into here in Canada. The line is advertised as Gluten free however the ingredients listed include barley extract. As the mother of a celiac child I have been advised by our doctor and a dietician that barley...

    CND product/ranges confusions please help

    CND just sent out a survey to many nail techs in North America, not sure if techs across the pond got it, asking us about manicure and pedicure preferences and giving us a list of scents to choose from as our favourites so I would guess there are plans to bring in new ranges for manicures and...
