    Builder gel - help please :(

    @PaigeRosexxx I can see from your other posts that you use the TGB BIAB. I've seen many infill videos from TGB users and it seems that it's not being filed down thin enough before re-application. All of my BIAB sets have a thin clear coat as the first layer. So at the next appointment, I can...

    Builder Gel

    I use CJP. You MUST use their lamp. Whichever brand you go for, you must use the matching lamp. I really like their products. They've got great starter kits so you can get a feel before you invest fully. I'd also join their facebook support group. Prep and application varies between brands so...

    Allergy to gel polish

    Ikon.IQ are being lumped in with TGB and PG. I can't see why, but the owner of the Nail Tech Awareness group doesn't allow recommendations for Ikon.IQ and states that they threatened legal action against her. I haven't seen anyone else posting anything negative about this brand, so I wouldn't...

    Gel Bottle Polish

    They have sales a few times each year. However there are many superior products that are cheaper than theirs. If you use the search bar, you can find lots of info on this brand. I would suggest you do some research on TGB before investing. Yes it's popular, but good marketing and pretty...

    Hopi Ear Candles

    Have you tried burning the candle without putting it in your ear? The "wax" is actually residue from the candle. There's a photo on this article Ear candling - Wikipedia

    Hopi Ear Candles

    Sorry to jump on, but I thought ear candles were a complete con? I was looking at investing and offering this service, but after researching, there is no evidence to state that ear candles remove wax build up and can cause more harm than good. Do you genuinely see results from this service?

    The gel bottle Vs glossify

    Yep also CJP! I use the full system. Base, topcoat, colours, lamp, etc

    The gel bottle Vs glossify

    I personally avoid both of these brands, as well as premier gel. The reactions being caused by these brands are shocking. Check out "The Nail Tech Awareness Group" on facebook for loads of info. Every single day there is at least one new TGB/Glossify/PG user discovering a reaction on their...

    Madam Glam

    The Madam Glam website states that they stopped using HEMA in 2019 Say Bye-Bye, HEMA! But this is interesting I've tried finding the SDS/MSDS and it seems that they are concealing it. The thread was updated 11 days ago to say that the MSDS has STILL not been added to their site 2 years later

    Is there a list of trusted and untrustworthy brands?

    Wow, I did not know that! I don't suppose you have a source for this law? How are bigger amazon brands getting away with this? Mylee is available very very widely on Amazon, Asos, FeelUnique and specifically marketed at home users. Their products contain HEMA

    Cleaning gel bottles and lamps

    For your lamp, there's not much you can do to prevent gel getting stuck in there. Never ever use acetone to clean your gel lamp, it will melt the plastic and ruin the shiny finish. Every couple of weeks I remove the tray, wipe the lamp and tray with alcohol and then use an old cuticle tool (The...

    hard gel & acrylic brands

    I've never tried it. But I've heard many users say that it's really difficult to remove, shrinks, the pigmentation is hit and miss. It's made in the US so I consider this a "safe" brand. However their products are widely available to non-professionals on Amazon and Feel Unique
