I've been looking at ways to improve my manicures and make them more luxurious. What do you all do to make them extra special, if you don't mind sharing?

I have just been reading the new Pro Beauty magazine and there is a letter regarding banning MMA. In the letter it mentions that Rachel from ANT has set up an online petition you can sign : Petition To Ban The Use Of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) In The UK Petition Apologies if this has been...

I have a client whose nails just have me stumped! When I go back to her to do a rebalance they are always lifting away from her nail. They are still stuck solid at the cuticle line and the base of the sidewalls but towards the free edge the product has completely separated from the nail and it...

I am wanting to get my business on facebook but I am a bit confused with the different options. I have read through all the old threads on this and am none the wiser lol! What I want to be able to do is invite all my clients to join/be friends and hopefully then their friends will join or be...

Hi, I have the CND Shimmers powders collection and from the bolds I have Red, Yellow, Blue, Black and White. I have been experimenting tonight trying to mix the powders up to create different colours and had quite good results but sometimes it's tricky to know how much of each to put in and...

I would like to improve my business this year and so I am thinking of sending out a client survey to both current and past clients to get feedback to help me do this. Specifically I would like to do some more courses (only do nails and spray tanning at the mo) but obviously need to know what...

Hi, I have been using the CND Opaque powders and mostly they are ok but I did a set on my friend and the closest match was the cool pink However it was nowhere near pink enough for the colour of her nailbeds. Would I need to add a pinch of red to the mix to make it pinker or another colour ? I...

Hi everyone, Just had a call tonight from a regular client that I use Calgel on. I did a clear overlay on her nails on Saturday and she says that today she has very sore fingertips. I am always very careful to not get any product on the skin and she has been having Calgel for about 5 months...

I have just broken the on/off button on my minimist ! It has completely come out along with some springs :eek: Hubby has had a look but can't seem to get it back in. Does anyone know if they are easily replaceable ? Obviously I will phone first thing in the morning but I'm going to be...

How can I get tip adhesive out from under my nails ? In the interests of research (and cos I was feeling lazy :o) I had a full set applied in a local salon. However I am now regreting it as I have spent ages filing them into what I would call the correct shape and finish ! I have got tons of...

Hi Geeks, I am newish to spray tanning and today I got my husband to spray me for a night out on Saturday. This is the first time he has done it (under my guidance lol) and overall it looks good but my arms are a bit paler than the rest of me :eek: Is it safe to spray them again or will they...

I know you need to leave the guide colour on for 6-8 hours before washing off but I was wondering does anyone know how long it takes before it actually starts colouring the skin ? I had my training last week and am still waiting for the manual to come through. I tanned my friend last night and...

Hi, I've had an email enquiry from someone interested in having a 'Becky' Calgel set. Now I have no idea what this is and don't want to go back and say that if it's only me that doesn't know lol. Does anyone know what a 'Becky' Calgel is ??? :hug:

I was taught on my CND course to use 180 grit to rebalance and never use the 100 grit side unless I get NSS nails to debulk :irked: Am curious to see if people do use this side and if so what for ? Thanks :hug:

Hi All, I have done a search but this hasn't been covered recently. I am about to add spray tanning to my services and looking at this board so are quite a few others. So I thought it would be helpful if peeps that do spray tanning could tell us: A) How much they charge for a full body...

Hi All, I will be starting spray tanning soon as soon as I have had my training and want to be ready to get started straight away. So my question is what exactly do I need ? I have made a list so far : Machine Tent Solution Information for clients - aftercare etc Couch Roll to stand on...

Hi all, I would like to invest in spray tanning this year and have been doing a lot of research about the various solutions and machines. Now I think I will probably go for a minimist after reading what people have to say about it. (If anybody has one they would like to sell please pm me...

Have just been on the professional beauty site to book my ticket for Excel :green: Who else is planning on going ? Thought I would look and see who was going to be there as I am looking into investing into spray tanning and will need to pick up a few nail supplies too. Hopefully the list...

Hi All, I recently read a thread about EZflow and being able to use one of their products before applying l&p and then the nail would just pop off rather than having to soak off and start again. Now I use Creative and am eagerly awaiting my popits ! If there was something similar that I...
