    Top 10 OPI colours

    A lot of the ones mentioned are big hits with clients but from my personal experience, some really beautiful colors that aren't easily comparable to other collections (not including the ones mentioned already - i think!) are.. Elephantastic Pink from the new India line - creme pink, peacher...

    Cuticle Oil

    I love it!! It comes in the cutest little dropper so it's really easy to apply. In comparison I'd say its a little greasier than Solar Oil but similar to others I've tried. A little goes a very long way. I love the scent. My fiance hates the smell of marsipan so he won't use Solar Oil..Have...

    ibd or calgel??

    I'm waiting for my IBD intro kit to come so I can try it but I currently use calgel. I absolutely love it for overlays but the clear does go yellow (youll see a lot of geeks put a bit of purple in their clear to keep it bright). It's easy to apply but was very difficult for me to build an apex...

    Polish video - with red!

    I remember someone posting about being terrified of dark polish, let alone red! Everyone suggested geeg's tut and the push-pull method (which helped me tons & i luv it!) but, heres a video YouTube - triciaネイルシステム - vol1.ケア・カラー - its not in english and IMO the polish...

    IBD gel - Xtreme vs regular?

    i took the liberty and got some 'stick' too as i figured i'd try both this and bonder. The girls at the distributors here really didn't know anything so if they had recommended something, I wouldn't trust it anyway iykwim! thanks so much for all the replies guys!

    IBD gel - Xtreme vs regular?

    thanks everyone! So, I wonder why they still push bonder/sell it at all if it seems to cause so many problems for everyone?

    Manicure Parties - Good Idea?

    Just want to say that I'm majoring in marketing right now and did my thesis on what consumers prefer - free stuff, or discounts/rebates. By far, customers responded much more positively to free offers vs. discounts - even if the freebie was utterly useless!!!

    IBD gel - Xtreme vs regular?

    I didn't see anything in "natural" in my pamphlet?? Maybe they've discontinued this, or it isn't available in the states? Thanks so much everyone for replying! Gonna have a look in the gallery now :hug: wendyrose, i read the other thread where you said you gave up using bonder! are you...

    IBD gel - Xtreme vs regular?

    Hey everyone, hopefully someone can clarify this for me.. I requested an info packet from IBD here and before I purchase the starter kid to try out IBD gel from my distributor I'm wondering if someone help me! "clear" gel is thin viscosity and better for NNO's. It seems to be similar to...

    Weird, "round" nails?

    So, I don't usually do nails anymore as most of you know I'm going to business college and working in an office. I always do my own nails, and occassionally a good friend or relatives. I'm perfectly qualified and I have trouble nails (I used to bite.. :smack:) myself. I've dealt with quite a...

    Should I invest in an electric file???

    This is getting off topic... For what my 2 cents is worth, there are A LOT of good things on ebay. I refuse to believe that every expensive brand on ebay is a knock off, because I sell and buy on ebay, and the brands I sell (like, a coach bag, or a used prada jacket I don't want anymore) ARE...

    Pedicure and whip cream???

    I think the key here is that while there are many decadent foods that are absolutely delicious, it's plain weird to ACTUALLY have them on you - where you can't even taste them. Many of us love the smells that are associated with these foods - and as the chocolate manicure thread...

    Acrylic White Tip application

    I do the same thing and then, esp on myself or on very flat nails, if I find there are low spots or the apex isnt as high as id like it to be I use clear..hth also, some like the reverse application. this avoids getting any pink on the white ever as you do your pink first! try it!

    Cutting Older Clients with Abrasives

    when i do my moms nails i feel like i'm always nicking her where you talk about on one finger.. i find that older skin is sometimes very dry and it helps if i do a mini massage before, right after i take off polish.

    application

    Just wanted to say.. for the predesigned tips with no design in the well, I've used a custom blend instead of pink or clear when I got worried about blending. Still, it helps to cut out the well so you get more contact area with the product to the actual nail.. but if you're worried about...
