    Competition nails

    I was just interested to know why when competition nails are always painted red on one hand? Is it to show polish skills or the shape of the nail with colour on it? Its just something I would like to know!

    Nail art brushes and paint

    Hi, I was just wondering what kind of brushes you use for nail art. I was thinking of buying some v-rush brushes and acrylic paint as the nail art pens are so expensive. Where do you buy your brushes and paint and are you satisfied with the result? Many thanks for any response:hug:.

    Cuticle removing

    When I remove the cuticle from the nail plate with my metal pushie I seem to get a lot of skin left attached to the eponychium. I find this hard to remove (dont use clippers as afraid of causing injury!) The result is that the epontchium looks baggy, (only description I can think of) with...

    Cuticle remover?
