Does anyone know if this can be used successfully without the Bonding Gel underneath it?

Hi everyone, I know that there is a HUGE thread on IBX and that there are many posts but I keep checking back and I'm still non the wiser! I am a mobile tech and I would like to know what other mobile techs use as their heat source for IBX. The first time I did it I used a hair dryer and my...

Hi, could anyone tell me why Sweet Squared no longer have the coloured acrylic powders in stock on their website? And am I able to get them from anywhere else? Many thanks.

Hi all, I have a very loyal regular client who I do CND enhancements on. However she now has a second home in America and goes there for up to 2 months at a time. She came to me today having had her nails done in America, in a discount salon, and I sat her in acetone for a good 30 mind and...

...who this company is?! They have a very thin brochure, usually just a few pages, they sell cheap nail art supplies and they also sell very good salon equipment. On the brochure there are photos of people, and their heads have been enlarged so they look a bit like cartoon characters!!!:eek...

Hi. I haven't posted on here for a very long time but was wondering if anyone could PM me some information please? I am trying to work out the cost of doing a full set and rebalance of a CND french L&P. Obviously I can work out how many files I use etc, but if anyone knows how much is costs...

I haven't posted for ages, sorry, but was wondering if anyone has or can point me in the direction of photographs of what the CND Charcoal Shimmer and Iridescent Glitter powders look like on a nail please? Thank you

Hi all, I am interested to know what chairs you use for your clients to sit in at your desk? We all know that there are quite a few technician chairs and stools out there, but when it comes to client chairs I am flummoxed!

Well. After being a CND tech for 3 years, I cannot believe I have only just discovered this product! It's amazing and completely underrated. Please tell me it's not going to be discontinued?:eek:

After reading the other thread about how oil is used for stripping tan (which will come in very useful!!!) I am now wondering what moisturiser to use after my tans? I am just after something I can pick up in Boots, not necessarily an expensive or professional product, as it os for my own...

Apologies if this has already been posted, I did have a quick scoot through the forums and couldn't see it! Thought this was interesting! The Daily Mail is a load of tosh really but I was glad to see the subject of MMA being brought up, albeit briefly. So, thoughts on the UV lamp causing...

I am not asking for rent figures here, I am interested to know what you get for the money you pay for your room/desk etc. Do you get any pricelists printed or advertising for example? Do you get stock or even just sundries like cotton wool/acetone etc? Do you have someone answering the phone...

Hi everyone. I have searched and have found some useful info, but am in a dilemma and need some expert advice please! Right. I am a fully qualified Creative and Calgel nail tech. I have done a manicure and pedicure course. I have a VTCT in Swedish Body Massage, and an Independant...

I have had this from CND in the past, it's a really good primer but last time I placed an order they said they no longer stocked it. Does anyone know if they have started re-stocking it or have any idea where I can get some from? I can only find in from the US online. Thanks

My poor old Dad's nails have all of a sudden become flakey and brittle. He showed me them tonight and they look awful, like he's been biting them (which he hasn't). They are literally flaking off at the free edge. He has very short nails anyway but they always looked neat. I have massaged some...

I am not qualified in facials etc, so I was wondering if some of you lovely Skin Geeks would be able to advise an eye cream I could use? I suffer badly from dark circles and puffiness, and would like a recommendation for an every day cream to combat this? Or any other tips or tricks to help...

I am starting in a new room next week doing nails and pedis, and the room is tiny! So I am a bit stuck on what to use for pedicures? Ideally, I would like something that can be used as the clients chair when they are sat at my desk for nails, as well as being used for pedicures, because the...

I am now trained in Calgel, which is great, but I was wondering, are all gel systems applied the same? So for example, if I wanted to use Bio-Sculpture because it has more colours, would I apply the same way as the Calgel? I am also interested in trying Go-Gel and Brisa, but again, will I need...

This may seem odd, but, I have been having spray tans using Amber Mist more or less every week for about a year now. I dont do them, I have am not qualified, I get someone who is qualified to do it for me :green: Anyway. I am starting to notice the tan is now not taking on my face, and seems...
