hi Geeks Can anyone help me work out why my gel top coats have started to look dull and just not quite as shiny as they used to be. I'm really puzzled - have changed bulbs, even bought a new lamp, changed top coat, changed wipe off cleanser and still they are foggy looking!! Driving me...

Hi geeks I use brisa gel and as I have improved in my application of it over the past few months I sometimes feel that after I have done the base and builder gel, the shape and arches are pretty good. I find myself filing off the shine to then go ahead and put the uv top coat on. My question...

Hi Geeks Just checking about Brisa re-balance! When I come to the base gel which gets scrubed into the nail plate, at present I do this over the whole nail, was wondering if I could do this just in zone 3 over the new growth area? Would save another layer of gel and some time etc. xx

I like to offer a large variety of glitter/pearl finishes to my clients nails, I prefer to do this with a top coat of the desired effect rather than using the builder layers with glitter through them as I think the top coat looks better over the whole nail and is easily changed at rebalance...

Hi Geeks I am finding Paint on White Gel fab, its cut my re-balance times to under 1.5 hours which is good news, looks great, sooo easy to use etc etc. The only problem is that is can sometimes chip off on some clients. Has anyone got any suggestions as to why this is happening? Any advice...

Hi Geeks I meant to post a few questions about Primers on the SSW Science weekend but I forgot in the end........probably got too carried away with the 'oil drying enamel' debate!! :lol:LOL. Anyway another thread in the forum brought it all back and I feel it is time for me to urgently brush up...

Hi Geeks My first critique - just did these tonight on myself. A client wants an 80's look for Christmas so I was having a wee practice. What d'ya think? These are natural tips with clear pink acrylic overlay and the bright pink and black is painted. ps. They are also my first set of...

Hi Geeks I'm still investigating whether to start using a UV Gel Topcoat or not but I've started to look into lamps - uv output, wattage, price, etc. Just wondered if you have anything to add about the overall design of your lamp - anything you like or dislike about your specific lamp, whether...

I am in general having problems with my final buffing stage!! Any help from you geeks would be appreciated.:) The top of my finished nail is covered in tiny tiny little scratches which usually ends up in me rushing like a maddy to get them out, but I can never get rid of all of them. The...

Hi Geeks, Wondering if anyone can shed any light on this for me. I have a client with a NNO who has quite a dramatic c-curve and I am having the same problem with her every visit. The L+P is separating from the natural nail at the corner of her free edge. She doesnt have much lifting...

Any geeks use EzFlow High Def? Whats your views on it? What other systems have you tried? Did you use primer with it? How was it for lifting, strength etc. ta in advance.xx

Hi Geeks Have been mulling over the economics of a re-balance and for me its quite depressing thinking. First of all I am basing this on the assumption that when up to speed it takes about 1 hour start to finish to do the re-balance and the cost to the customer being usually about...
