Is the Sally Hansen Prism polish the same as the magical one in the gold bottle??? (Sorry dont know the name of it!) THanks Looby:green:

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any unwanted Konad stuff???? I'm trying to get hold of the image plate M19 (french manicure) and some of the white polish. Please contact me if you have any to sell! Many thanks Looby

To all those hairgeeks out there..... The time has come for me to buy a new pair of straighteners after the last ones met their doom - thing is I am well out of the loop now being out in the bush - are GHDs still the best or has something new come along to beat em?? Cheers peeps Looby:D

Hi, I want to set up a display of creative polishes on the counter in the salon that I work in, as all we have at the moment are a few posters. Anyone got any good ideas on displays?? Piccies would be great as I am totally lost for inspiration on this one!!! Thanks guys Looby :D

Hey everyone, I did a set of p&w sculpts on a lady last friday and got a phone call to the salon on Tuesday that four of her nails have broken off. She had very short nails to begin with, just long enough to get a form under but her thumbs were bitten to a very odd shape - bitten so one...

....How do you cut the well out of the tip if you want to??? Not that I particularly do - I blend tips if and when I use them (prefer to sculpt) but just out of interest. Speaking of having to use tips...... I have my favourite cannibal coming in tomorrow and she has very deeply curved...

Well I thought my rant was over!!!!! The salon owner just texted me to 'come in tonight at 6 and do my nails afterall, just got a date!' ....grrrrrrrr..:evil: ....fume.... I told her to stick it!! (In the nicest possible way!!) Gonna have a beer... :cool: Looby "Don't go MAD, go...

I have to travel for 30mins to get into the salon that I do nails at. This morning I got there for my 10 O'clock appt only to find that the lady had left a message to say she couldn't make it. She phoned at 9.45!! I was pretty narked to say the least but it wasn't a wasted journey as I had...

Also - I forgot to mention that when doing large amounts of waxing it works out way cheaper than a traditional stip wax pot - no disposable spatulas, really thin application of wax and it's sooo much quicker with less mess!! (I would be lost without my roller system!) Looby:green:

Hi Tracy, Roller systems are very popular over here in Au and as it's warm all the time waxing is the biggest service we do. I have used a couple of systems - the Phd being one of them and to be honest I didn't like it. The flow of wax is not always consistent and I didn't rate the wax that...

Howdy y'all! I'm in the middle of designing my aftercare leaflet (people just do not listen!!!) and I wondered if anyone had any online or that they could email me for ideas - my brain hurts today!:eek: Cheers guys Looby:D

Hi Jeni, Yeah - before dipping - at college they kinda skimmed us through paraffin treatments but I remember having to apply some kind of lotion and then dipping. Just wondered if this was any particular kind??? Or if it helps the absorbtion of any product? Cheers! Looby:D

Now all this jacks me off a little. I like Creative - hell I use their products - but I don't agree that you can't buy their L+P just because you haven't trained with them. (Note please that I do agree that you should have to prove that you are trained before you can buy professional products)...

Two questions: 1. Can you use any moisturising/rehydrating creams etc with paraffin treatments? 2. How do you clean the brush??!?! Thanks guys Looby:green:

I use the "Lil' Whistler" 3 way buffer - it shines boootifully and is triangular so it's dead easy to hold and doesn't give you RSI! Looby:green:

Cheers peeps! Looby:green:

I took 3 hours to do a rebalance today - thats longer than a full set takes normally! :lol: Looby:cool:

....keep thinking of things!!! If you dont have citrusoak - what can you use to remove the cuticle remover for prep?????? Looby:green:

A friend of mine just suggested sealing zone 3 to avoid lifting - ie: filing the cuticle and side areas down smooth onto the nail to create a 'seal'. Apparently they are all taught it over here in Oz. I was told to sculpt to a thin edge and then smooth with the file but never to seal - anyone...

When using Retention+ what grit file/block do you use for taking the shine of the natural nail? Also - do you go with the direction of nail growth (this is what I do) or am I supposed to go against? (I thought a no-no) I am getting conflicting information from tutors at college! Thanks guys...
