    Pinching & C-curve sticks

    I do pinch my clients nails. I think it enhances the look of nails and that they become stronger. I think that it´s one of those things where everyone should decide for themselves if they think its usefull to perform in the salon or not. As long as you are carefull not to over-pinch the nails i...

    Removing another salon's Shellac/Gellish

    I charge for the removal regardless if i applied it myself or another nailtech. It takes 10 minutes to remove the product prior to being able to apply a new layer of shellac or gelish. If i would have 6 customers who wanted the service and i wouldnt charge for those 10 minutes every time i would...

    Gel Nails Disaster

    Will stick to natural nails in future! Cheers! Hope you are not put off by it all together because nailenhancements can be performed in a safe and professional manner. Use loads of nailoil in the meanwhile and the damage will need to grow out unfortunatly... the bits of gel that are left...

    Natural-looking acrylic.

    For my natural powder i use a base mix of white, clear powder (or you can just take the natural powder from the start) and then i add flawless pink, a small amount of yellow and a bit from the melting pot which is a brown color. From customer to customer i adjust this mixture by adding more of...

    Nails Networking & adding friends & competition?

    well... as long as you are not handing out information on how to do nails or have pictures of step-by-steps in your albums i don´t think they can take advantage of your knowledge and skills. They can only see what they are up against by looking at your pictures if they are your local competitors...

    Shellac & Gelish have you tried both?

    If you want advice on both products... Gelish:+ Lasts very long on the natural nails => def. up to 4 weeks loads of colour options - you need to buff the natural nail before applying harder then shellac to remove shellac: + very easy to apply... applies like...

    Tips .... do we love them or hate them and why??

    Hmmmmmmm... I rather sculpt then tip and only use a tip when i really have 2 Why: A tip is still a soft and flexible plastic compared to acrylic =>which i work moste with) and when i use a tip i need to take this into consideration that i cant make my nail as thin as i would with a sculpt...

    Soak off gels/polishes...doubts about the investment in colors

    Thx for answering, When i remove it with an acetone-free remover it doesnt damage the material since it is still as glossy underneath. I did forget the fast-dry benefit though. That´s indeed the main difference. How do you feel that it is working with your customers? I just started this...

    Soak off gels/polishes...doubts about the investment in colors

    I just had a few thoughts on this and was wondering if anyone had the same thoughts or if they can enlighten me a bit more... I think that the idea of shellac and gelish is a great addition to the nailindustry. It´s super thin, flexible and holds up incredibly well. BUT... there is such an...

    Unhappy Shellac client - Did I do the right thing?

    Ofcourse you did the right thing! I am always weary of things like that since people often try to put the blame on the application or product when they misstreated their nails *often they are awear of that themselves but want to get a free fix* These are often new clients or the occasional...

    Acrylic Nails on Me (I'm a straight man)

    I´m not being conservative here but i don´t think that the world is ready to see straight men with long, coloured fingernails since it is still associated with a feminen feature. I personally don´t care what so ever....but think it would raise quite a few eyebrows! Go for it if you really feel...
