    Reiki - cold hands?

    As some of you may know I regularly offer reiki to patients in a cancer support group. I'm used to giving treatments to people who are ill or terminal, but recently I experienced a sensation I can't explain. I started the treatment as normal, and quickly got my usual warm, tingly hands...

    How do you display your nail pops?

    I have nail pops showing all my basic Shellac colours and several layered options too, but if I also did them to show all glitter and additive options there would be hundreds! So how many do you actually have prepared and how do you display them to your clients without overwhelming them?

    I have a long standing L&P client who has decided to move away from acrylics and have regular natural nail manicures instead.

    Shellac removal wraps or Vamoos wraps?

    I need to re-order some removal wraps and not sure whether to try the new Vamoos wraps that S2 are retailing or stick to the official Shellac ones. I've also read on here about Magis Wraps too but don't know anything about them. Price will obviously play a part as Vamoos are so much cheaper...
