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...

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

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:

....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...

Hi peeps, Was just searching again for tips on lifting - for one problem client - and I'm a bit confused as to the use of primer with Retention. I didn't think you had to use primer but some of the threads suggest using it for problem lifters. They also mention an acidless primer. So...

Sorry but I need to moan! - I've had a bad time of it lately, have been unwell and am suffering from tragic homesickness on account of it being a year now since we left home. To top it all off my acrylic application seems to have gone to pot! I just had a call from a girl I did p+w sculpts...

Hey everyone! We have just been 'taught' to do nail mending at college (Beauty Therapy Diploma) when I say nail mending I mean one of those little sticky fibreglass wraps and some nail glue. Now cos I'm already a nail tech I tend to pretty much ignore what they teach us about nails (cos I...

I had a lady come in yesterday with bitten nails. She was also a keen gardener and looked like she had never used a hand cream in her life! lol! She said she wanted to grow her nails for her wedding in October so wanted acrylics to allow them to grow. OK I said - thinking - Arrrrgh go away...

Hi everyone! I'm getting a bit frustrated as, after changing to Creative Retention to try and minimise lifting for some of my clients, I find I am now getting lifting at the sides of the cuticle - not near the base of the nail, thats fine - but down the sides near the folds. I have been...

Hi all, Just wondering what you all consider to be the best/quickest way to remove acrylics. I've only ever used 'Handi-Soak' which I had a big bottle of from Nailorder, it worked pretty quickly and didn't seem too drying on the fingers. However, I'm now living in Australia and I can't...

Wot a day - I have a client coming in tomorrow who insists on having tips. I hate them with a passion - they take waaaay too long to put on! She wont have pink and white sculpts (which are my favourite) even though she also has airbrushed french put on afterwards. :rolleyes: I have spent...

What is it with this pinching that you's are all on about!?!??!?? I keep trying it and I keep either ruining my nice smooth application or nearly breaking my thumb nails off cos I'm pushing so hard!!! It's driving me craaaazy!!!:mad: :green: Cheers A:biggrin:

Q for you Creative bods out there...... Is Solar Nail Ultra White 'whiter' than Perfect Colour White??! Cheers A

Hi y'all, Does anyone here who works mobile use an electric file? If so which one?? I have recently started using an electric file. I would like to use it mobile (especially for french backfills) but it is a mains operated one. Does anyone know of a good battery or rechargeable one that...
