    Does anyone use an air purifier to remove L&P smell??

    Put some dehydrator on a brush wipe and use that to wipe your brush. Cuts down the smell immensely.

    Trendy Nail Wrap - Help

    You might want to heat them up to get them to stretch a bit. I used to use them and found that I had to do that (or put them in full sunlight to soften) before proceeding. You won't have the problem with Sheekee or Minx however (although with the latter you do need the lamp to heat them...

    Is It All America's Fault? | How Young is Too Young?

    As I said in an earlier post, its not all of America and I don't think blaming the situation on a country is really....fair. I do think it is a sociological problem worldwide in terms of making our kids grow up to fast. Thinking on it (and this is on the fly off the top of my head), the...

    So darn beautiful, do you know what it is?

    Thanx for making me laugh first thing in the morning Geeg. My mother said the exact same thing: "Well (nostrils slightly flaring, eyebrow slightly raised), is it practical? Is it something that you will cherish for many years? (slight nod of head to look at me over her glasses, with a itty...

    **||Pantone & Sephora Join Forces To Tell Us What's Cool||**

    In all honesty, I don't follow anyone or anything. Trend forecasting is a guide to me. When I first saw the article on this I laughed my head off cos my first car was "Tangerine" and don't you just now we had that sucker painted lipstick red as soon as feasible? lol. That being said...

    Using a polish bottle to practice sculpting

    Take a polish bottle and with the bottom of the bottle away from you place your form on the lid and form it around the lid. I hope this makes sense. good luck

    Tips vs. Forms

    Depends on the client. Some people you cannot sculpt easily...as someone else said, nailbiters I usually start out with tips (and SHORT) and then as they grow out they become sculpts/nno's. If you are going to use tips, use good ones. THAT I will say to you. Crappy tips make it that much...

    A Curing Conundrum for my Fellow Geeks

    Are the bulbs clean? Sometimes they get dusty and that will mess up your cure. (I had that issue with my Microbond lamp back in the day) Good luck!

    Why does it bother us?

    Normally I would say no, but lately, I've been getting people contacting me left and right about this or that local place that completely trashed their nails. Yeah its good for ME, in a sense, but it frustrates the hell out of me that there are people out there doing crap and literally damaging...

    Rebalancing glitter tips

    Hi Hun, I would redo the lot but do a base of clear to work *on* this way you can do the art over it and when its time to change, just remove the art down to the clear. A sandwhich affect - clear layer, art layer, clear layer on top. HTH's
