    e-file course for gel nails only?

    Is this possible? I only do gel varnish and I might train in builder gel in the future. But I’d like to use an e file for the crisp cuticle work that doesn’t seem possible without one. Seems like it would help quickly break the seal on gel for a removal too. But every course I’ve found requires...

    CND Shellac conversion

    I'm looking to do this course soon, but is there anywhere I can buy the full kit? Or do I have to buy each thing individually? Also, I can't find anywhere that will let me buy CND products without having done the training...I have a gel manicure certificate but not a CND one, hence the...

    Gel removal kit for clients to take home?

    Alternatively you can actually buy little bottles of acetone over the counter at the pharmacy in Boots and I think they were about £2 each. Had enough in to soak off one set.

    Gel removal kit for clients to take home?

    I saw these the other day, maybe you could stock them: https://www.nafstuff.com/collections/featured/products/new-sos-kit Quite expensive (£20) but enough to remove 10 sets!

    Gel polish course advice

    My gel course wasn’t specific, we used Halo Gel and NSI. I’m planning to do a brand conversion once I’ve decided which one to go for (there’s so many it’s confusing) just using Halo for now.

    Microblading course recommendations

    Have you looked at Ash Aquilina? I haven’t done her training but have had my brows done by her and she is fab. Based in Swinton I think.

    Thin nails folding on themselves during soak off

    That makes sense, thank you! Is it doing more damage in the process? How much would you charge for the overlay? She doesn’t want to pay more, my prices are low at the mo as I only got certified a few months ago and haven’t raised them yet so she isn’t keen to pay more for the overlay :/

    Thin nails folding on themselves during soak off

    Thank you, I’ve been using just a buffer very gently to take the shine off and never a 180 file itself for that reason, fortunately she has no issues with them lasting etc. It’s just the acetone seems to make them very very soft. She says they’ve always been like this but I’m not sure, the...

    Thin nails folding on themselves during soak off

    Hi, I have a client where her nails are very thin. They haven’t separated but they are extremely thin to the point I could definitely not even use a 180 file on them. I use a buffer when doing gels on her and they do always last fine etc, but when she comes for the soak off it’s awful. I put her...

    Halo Christmas gels patchy application

    I'm using the lamp I got with my nail course. It isn't a Halo Gel lamp. However, I'm not sure this is the issue because the lady who did my course uses the lamp she chose for us, and I've seen her using these colours without the same patchy issue that I've got :/

    Halo Christmas gels patchy application

    Hello, I’ve recently gotten my gel nail certificate (just varnish not enhancements) and I’ve bought some of the Christmas Halo Gels. They are potted so I’ve been trying them out with a Glitterbels gel brush - a flat square shaped one. For some reason the colours seem to be quite patchy when...
