I'm going to need something really highly pigmented to stand out over red. I could help it out with a Twinkled T white base but it will still need to be strong. What brand would you recommend?

Hi Ladies, I just thought I would pop by here from my usual nail forum to ask for some advice... Since my menopause my skin has changed quite noticeably, in particular my pores are larger which is really starting to bug me! If I were to look for treatments to help this what would you...

Salongeek is a potentially great collective of wisdom and experience. Could we perhaps draw up a list of specific meds that mess with gels and acrylics? Along the lines of 1. A description of the problem 2. The specific med you suspected to be the issue, 3. Any resolution you found. It would be...

I’m looking for the ultimate efile bit for reducing bulk quickly. Preferably a safety bit. I’m currently using a course carbide bit but it’s still taking some time. Why don’t websites tell you which are suitable for left handed use!! It seems pretty random, about three out of ten items will...

I’m quite interested in these but a little confused. There’s Prima, Optima and Hypnos... are they interchangeable within a system?

I have a lady with a gift voucher who wants to use it to get her daughter's nails done as a Christmas treat. As it's Bio Sculpture and extremely gentle I'm of a mind to say yes if she signs a parental consent form, and I think I would use the Evo breathable base and top coat in this instance...

Ladies, I have an opportunity to make up false nail sets for a local gift shop in my village. I’ve made a start this afternoon and used slightly different average size mixes for each. If I were to order more full cover ‘tips’ by size in future, what do you think are the must haves in your opinion?

After having read the recent resurrected post with interest I thought I would mention I just noticed that TAFS Beauty Supplies are stocking it now.

I’m getting a big run of ladies with NSS gel overlays which need to come off before I can sort their nails out... wonky tips, void pockets collecting dirt underneath etc... the last had hers so thin I didn’t dare de-bulk with an efile and yet it still took over an hour to get it off. Acetone...

So I take the booking for Gel extensions and she says she has nail varnish on to remove so I book time out based on that. Turns out she has gel on, took it down and soaked.... soaked again... soaked again... it’s turning into sticky spaghetti as it comes off at a rate of one micron per soak...

I want to enter a competition and I've never done this before. I have no idea where to find tips like these... 'Participants should use a full set of 10 originally manufactured tips in any colour in a rectangular shape of different sizes where the biggest tips should not exceed the size: 9.6cm...

I’ve looked around and found every other colour in the range but it’s the white I need. Has anyone seen it in stock somewhere?

Not found the perfect one yet so very open to advice and suggestions.

I love doing nails but have arthritis in my hands and wrists which is something I don’t want to aggravate any more than necessary. I 100% plan to continue hand filing for natural nails (my own are quite thin and brittle these days, the joys of ageing, so I really do get the need for care with...

I just wonder how much variation there is... does anyone include this info in their shining new GDPR Privacy Policy Statement?

I sometimes go sailing where short nails are most advisable but in between I want them longer again. If I start from scratch every time I change I’ll be spending a lot of time with my fingers in acetone! Is it possible to buff the short nails which have a gel overlay, apply a coat of bonder and...

Lol, I did this accidentally once doing a bit of boat deck rehab with sandpaper and dyes, if only I had stopped to think about it, I could have been rich... rich!

I have a few that are nice but just don’t have the necessary opacity. Rather than throw them in the bin I have a mind to experiment. I have a good number of fine mica powders that are very highly pigmented, a little goes a long way. So I’m just wondering if I couldn’t use my wishy-washy...

So, I’m a novice at this so there are bound to be problems but this one I just can’t figure. Three attempt with nsi on my own nails.... dryer and dryer mixes yet still it won’t set. Tried double primer and a warmer atmosphere but still no joy. Any other system works fine but not this one-it...

For creative/art reasons I think I could make good use of an e-file on occasion. As I wouldn’t be using it constantly a top of the range proper workhorse seems a bit over the top, however a cheapy off Amazon or eBay won’t quite cut the mustard. The Saeyang K35 Cube e-file looks like a...
