Hello Jules, I have had a similar issue with an older client with ridges / on medication. I was advised to switch base coats..I use Ink London and use their Flubber base on all clients, but was advised to switch to their ‘base elevation’ for this client..apparently some base coats can be overly...

Hi, Ink London is vegan x

You’ve not missed your chance at all, just gained some experience. Good luck x

Thank you for all your helpful comments I was totally freaked out but have now calmed down and finished the customers nails with a design she was very happy with. I really do appreciate the support and education I get from this site xx

Not new, no, I was removing my own work. Usually it comes off quite easily, I’m now wondering whether using heat pads did something to the rubber base coat, though I have used these several times without a problem Thank you, it was my own work I was removing but thank you for your comments x

P.s. I am going into work this Morning to remove the last of the Gel polish and apply new polish. Can anyone tell me is it better to leave a small amount of the colour on the nail plate rather than trying to scrape it all off. The customers nails are quite ridged and the Polish seems to have...

Hi, I use a complete hybrid gel polish system, base, top, lamp, remover, everything and must say that the gel polish usually removes very nicely without the need for any harsh scraping. But today I had a complete nightmare I had to soak for ages keep checking and was left with the really hard...

Thank you Beautiful-you I’ve had a look at this brand and ordered some with the rubber handles. They look promising, fingers crossed. And toes lol :) x

Thank you for your reply, I think it’s the ones like big cuticle nippers that I want. I’ve got to have them within the next two weeks...are there any brands in particular I should look out for?

I wonder if anyone can help, I currently use clippers and scissors to cut toenails, but not completely happy with the results. I also struggle with the nail is a bit thicker. Can anyone recommend any sort of angled clipper that is good for cutting toenails. Thanks in advance x

Hi Sophii, I have had the same problem, the blue nitrile gloves dissolve at the finger tips. I noticed the other day that my son who’s a mechanic wore heavy duty nitril gloves so I’m going to try these out to see if they last. I’ll leave feedback once I’ve tried them x

Hi, I only use Ink, usually two coats, only a couple of colours need three. I also use flubber base coat, it’s much stronger than the normal base x

I use a different brand but certain colours do this. I paint one nail at a time and cure straight after. Solves the problem for me x

I have a small selection of The Manicure Company..the muted glitters are popular and go on very nicely. I find the non-glitter varnishes a little more runny than my usual brand, I seem to touch the sidewalls more and some need an extra coat. The small bottle suits me as I don’t have loads of...

Morning I don’t have that many clients, so when people say ‘what is everyone asking for at the moment’ I just think “erm, I don’t really know!’ I only do gel and my customers tend to be middle aged, I just wondered whether anyone could recommend any good Pinterest or utube people to follow for...

Many thanks linzi x

Thank you so much for your reply Trinity x

Hi, anyone around atm....got this client in front of me just wondering whether to apply gel polish or whether I shed refer her to the docs or chemist

I like the shape of the ink London cuticle pusher, it’s sort of shaped like a horses hoof x

I read somewhere to file the free edge ever so gently with a buffer after applying chrome, might be worth a try!
