Well done you for such a lovely response when you could have been easily offended and bitten back. Please don’t worry about responses like that one, the nail industry has been hit hard with covid and now allergies are threatening it as well. Techs are just worried and scared about their...

I haven’t used ikoniqs base and shine or rubber bases, when I purchased the ikoniq they didn’t have the new jazzy range, just the black bottles. Yes I understand the fear of where does the gel end and the natural nail start! I started on myself using bluesky before I qualified when I didn’t...

Personally my experience is ikoniq base doesn’t last as long for me as flubber. If your nails are quite bendy you can try adding a little more base down the centre to create a small apex to give it a little structure. I don’t know how thin you are applying either product. You may need a thinner...

Can’t comment on the offer that you didn’t receive, what did Ikoniq say? I would hope they would send you one out of it was missed from the parcel?. If you get stuck I have the bonders, I’ve used them maybe once, I’m selling some of my ikoniq stuff as I don’t do nails anymore. I have used both...

Wow, I can’t believe you are being forced into being waxed when you have a very valid medical reason for not wanting to. Thats disgusting. Is it an actual college or a private educator? If it’s a public college there must be someone you can speak to higher up than the head. It would be...

Hi Sorry Ruby, I wasn’t notified you replied to this thread. Are you still interested, I did sell 2-3 gels but if you are interested still I can let you know everything I still have?

I would stop using Premier Gel, there have been multiple reports of allergies and nail separation using them. If they don’t have their own lamp then the product will not cure properly, that will cause a breakdown in service but more worryingly will expose you and your clients to uncurled gel...

I am selling Ikoniq Prima gels that were bought in March this year. All have been swatched but not used apart from that. Lamp included. Cost over £600 Hypoallergenic and mostly 1 coat coverage, very pigmented and cure in 30 seconds in Ikoniq lamp. 24 full colours listed below 2 x base (1...

Thanks so much

Hi, Please can anyone let me know where is a good place to sell pro gel polish. I have insta but am not on Facebook, I was wondering if there are any sites specifically for selling nearly new pro gel polish. I will sign up to Facebook if it is the only option. Many thanks

Thanks Trinity, unfortunately they said they are not doing face to face training for some time. I only ever do 1-2 finger at a time with the gel depending on how runny the gel is. I flash cure that finger whilst doing the finger on the other hand so constantly switching between the 2. I have...

Thanks Trinity, I do actually remove quite a lot before rebuilding the nail on an infill. I basically file the nail flat again with a thinish layer and rebuild from there. Unfortunately for the hard gel I use soaking off for a fresh set is not an option. I did do 1-2-1 training when qualifying...

Thanks so much Trinity, yes that is going to be a struggle!!! Yes that makes perfect sense, I will be more aware about where I taper from now. I will pay extra attention to sidewall prep but I really think it is more of a case of not enough gel or too much filing on the side as you say making it...

Please can I get some advice, I’m still a newbie and seem to get lifting in the same place and I’m not sure why! So I feel like I’m extra through with prep, I do sidewalls as well as cuticles and make sure I get out all dust etc. I use a cuticle pusher, flat end tool and a efile. The lifting...

Yes you can infill acrylic with gel, should not cause any issues.

My masseuse was originally sought out by my partner and she stated that she would only see him if I came with him and sat in her lounge for the first appointment which I thought was very fair. Is this not sexual harassment, can you not pass their numbers onto the police who maybe could call...

Does anyone know what this exactly means, is this an accolade to products made using the approved manufacturers. Or is this a baffling bull terminology.? I am looking at a certain product which claims to be HEMA, Di-Hema trimethylhexyl Dicarbamate, isobornyl methacrylate, isobornyl acralate...

Thank you, yes that’s a good idea. I know the most time consuming part for me is the removing/debulking. It takes me forever and then if there is any lifting that adds on loads more time because I’m trying so hard to be careful and only file before the lifting, go slow so I don’t hit the natural...
