If I’m soaking a builder base what I would normally do is file off all of the colour using an efile leaving the builder base careful not to touch the natural nail. Then I get plastic manicure bowls that are originally for soaking the cuticles and pour in some acetone and soak both hands :) or...

Thanks AcidPerm I think that’s what’s happened [emoji17]Idk should these people be allowed do nails in the first place really

Thank you for replying so quickly! I was thinking that it didn’t make sense but thought there was no harm in asking :) sometimes I read things a panic Incase I’m doing something wrong or haven’t enough theory [emoji85] thank you so much for your reply [emoji177]

There’s a lot of talk about nss (non standard salon) nails and recently a few nail techs were arguing in the comments on a fb post over removing gel products. Essentially one nail tech said that if gel nails don’t soak off using acetone then the products used are“nss gel”. I’m really confused...

It’s really nice to know I’m not the only one out there to do it I just really hope she comes back with no problems :/

Oh god you poor thing that sounds awful :/ it did make me feel a little better tho haha thank you so much I’m just terrified Incase it gets infected or something because I did put gel back over it:/ stupid I no but I panicked Don’t think I’ll ever forget this [emoji85]

This sounds like something someone who’s careless and uneducated would do and I can’t believe I’ve done it. Told at work I was infiling a regular client(who I’ve never had a problem with her nails before) started as normal filed off the colour debulked the gel enhancement and cuticle work...

Um not really, we don’t stick it in the salon anymore so I haven’t used it in awhile best thing to do is check the color before buying I’d say :) x

The only problem I had was that not all of their colors had strong pigment, some colors like “give me space” needed up to 5 coats of color and still look semi transparent on the nail:( x

Great I will definately do that because it is a white one I’m using atm :) x

It’s just a block buffer probably 180 grit? To you think it’s too smooth?

Thank you so much I will do this in future :) x

Thank you so much I will definately try this :) x

Lightly buffing the nail plate, cuticle work, dehydrator and then primer when I apply the gel i avoid the cuticle so I’m not sure why this is happening:/

I am a newly qualified nail tech and I’m having trouble with gel lifting, when I go to start an infil I file away the whitish section of gel nearest the cuticle but as soon as I file it off it’s almost as if it spreads further down the nail causing me to have to remove the entire nail all...

We always use two thin coats of the duraforce top coat and the majority of clients get 4weeks out of them!!

One client did come back during the first week and I was so embarrassed [emoji20] She wanted mermaid powder on her nails but it was my first time using it and it went so lumpy and weird. Long story short, we were able to book her in and one of the other girls fixed them for her :/ I’ve asked my...

That’s how the two owners of the salon trained and I think it’s so much better then spending two years in a college never working on anyone other thank someone in your class like I did. When you qualified your then expected to go out and work on REAL clients and I feel so nervous about it:/ I...

That’s a really good idea! I think I’ll say to one of the other girls who started two years ago and see how she found it when she first qualified. I think what happens is that I get nervous Incase I make a mistake and then end up making a mistake because I’m too nervous [emoji28] hopefully...
