Hi there Actually as long as the nail is in balance, there is very little difference between the two. But here's something to remember: impact will travel up the sidewalls and across the apex. That's why, clients with very high apex nails can get some very nasty cracks over the top. By...

This is true. Shellac's Base Coat provides a superior adhesion layer to anchor the colour. BUT, amazingly it is also responsible for helping the quick release during removal. That's why Shellac (unfortunately for CND at the moment), is a system. It's the magic of everything together. It...

Hi guys CNDs Step by Step, which can be found at cnd.com outlines the following: Remove the sticky inhibition layer with a plastic-backed, lint-free pad soaked with 99% IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol). NOT 92%, not 57%!! 99% IPA removes the sticky inhibition layer to reveal a shine that no...

Hi Claire Give Sweet Squared a call on 0845 210 6060. They'll have a look on their database for you x Mandini

Are you all up and ready?!! I'm doing one right now in my dressing gown!!

Hi guys - it's SO hard to read your posts about turning people away and losing business - I really feel for you guys. It is quite obvious that CND underestimated Shellac's success. This is unprecedented, not just in the nail industry, but in the entire beauty industry. Never has a set of...

Dear Sandra Shellac is a hybrid nail colour - the very first of its kind. It combines the best features of nail polish with ease of application (comes in a bottle just like polish, not a jar), high shine and rich colour, with the best features of gel (protective, low odour and very...

Hi Khloe The main thing is to put 1 layer of Shellac Colour Coat before your Cream Puff (whether it be Negligee or Romantique), so that if you have to "correct" your smile line, you won't be removing the crucial base coat as you swipe. Hope this helps!

Hey DinkyPinky! Here's how: PREP, Brisa Bond, 1 layer of Brisa Sculpting Gel in Clear. Cure as usual. Then, Brisa Gloss, cure but DO NOT REMOVE THE INHIBITION LAYER. 2 coats of your chosen Shellac colour curing as usual Top Coat, cure and wipe with IPA. You could wrap to remove...

Hi Sandstring, Hi Honeycure We are so sorry that you guys have had to resort to trying to find alternatives to solve the Shellac problem. The crunch is that sadly, CND cannot endorse the use of Brisa Bond, or any other type of UV Gel base as an anchor for Shellac. Results can't be...

This news is so so fabulous - I want to add my congratulations and biggest best wishes to Sweet Squared and the girls in Ireland. The news came in at the last show of London Fashion Week. Fourteen days ago, CND stormed the backstages of New York and through to London - clocking up 84 shows -...

Hi Sharn Make sure you're finishing zone 1 smoothly with your boards and buffers. What you maybe seeing is little ditches and pockets that haven't been buffed out properly - client's make-up can easily "grab" into these - and of course on white it will look really noticeable........ Have...

I adore Radical liquid. I used it for many years before Retention+ came out and never had many lifting problems with it even without primer. Of course when Retention+ came out, I had to try it and loved it equally. However a few years ago I used Radical again, just out of interest and I...

What products are you short of? Maybe someone could help on this thread or one of the One Stop Nail Shops in Manchester, Milton Keynes or Essex. This thread was set up to help each other out, not to rant.

Try calling Deborah Perrin - she's an Education Ambassador in Tulsa - 9185203347. Tell her I said hi x Amanda x

Hi EllieMarie Some nail techs have amazing natural ability. But most techs starting out, do not! It takes a long time to learn about making neat beautiful nails, safely and CND have raised the standards of the whole industry by breaking down how to do nails in the finest of detail. That...

The Hyperion Group distribute Academie skincare, Nimue skincare, Designer Nails products, as well as CND.

I have most of the powders, Cool Blue, Solar Speed Spray and jumble of tips/enamels........... Don't forget Manchester should be getting stock by Friday 01942 677728.

What a negative way to sell products - you'd only ever see CND marketing their products on merit and reputation. This is one of the reasons why we need to hang in there and appreciate that this brand is so strong and so well loved that it's one of the very few that will overcome this...
