I am a licensed insurance agent and was at my former insurance company employer when I decided to get into nails. I only do nails part time and recenly started working at another insurance agency part time. Busy Busy Busy! :ack:

Oh, I am sure the NSS would obtain them somehow just like their licenses! :evil:

What are the bare neccessities it gettng into airbrushing? Looking at some of these systems are very expensive. Surely there has to be a more inexpensive way to do this. What do I need to get started? :eyesore:

Does the U.S have these "worm coffins" I dont remeber seeing them in any CND product catalogs. I want one of these things. How do I get one?

I am sorry, but I have to totally disagree about drills being a bad thing. I dont use a drill that much, probably jsut for treching out the white and cleaning under the nail. I hand file probably 90% of the time. But using a drill, the dust is in larger particles, making them heavier and they...

I just recently started using a drill to thin down the entire nail when I rebalance a nail. SOOOO much faster than hand filing, plus so much easier on the hands and wrist. I am using a carbide barrel, which I was terrified of until now. They are actually quite simple to use as long as you use a...

Nothing of interest there. I want something for fall, like a pumpkin or cinnamon recipe. Looked on footcand.com and none there as well. I guess I'll keep looking

Hi Y'all. I need some really good recpies, especially recipes for fall pedicures and of course Christmas. I have searched the web, and cant find much. Hope you can help me. THANKS!!!

Just got the new collection today and to look at it on the display it is so pretty and then I got it home-those colors are nothing but reproductions of old CND colors. One color(cant think of it off the top of my head)is identical to CND Adrenaline. Its avery pretty color, BUT as usual most of...

About 2 weeks ago I went into a NSS out of curiosity :hit: .I had broken 2 nails cleaning house and my shop is 20 min. away. Did'nt feel like driving. Anyway I just wanted to see this place for myself and see what these uninformed people were doing to there nails. Well I had the acrylic left on...

I went ahead and bought them and thought they sure look like last summers, BUT they def.are not. They are so cool when you go outside. I think they will be a big hit. I have a big skylite in my nailroom and you can really see the holgraphic in them(if thats what that is). I bought the OPI...

Hi everyone. :D Im heading off shopping on Mon and am going to stop at my distr for supplies and thought about picking up the summer colors from OPI. They look like last years colors. Just wondered if they were or are they much better. I swore I would never buy OPI polish again, since their...

Just wondering how long everyones nails are? :rainbow: I see some nail techs around here with VERY long nails and wonder how they survive. I soaked my set off (they hurt so bad and look aweful) and am putting on a new set for my trip to Texas next week. I'm thinking of going longer than usual...

These are not exactly celebs but it really bugs me when you flip thru some home shopping channels and the hostesses or whatever you call them have horrible nails. They look like they have not been filled in months or if they have a french polished on, half of it is rubbed off. I am surprized...

TAN*TAN*TAN* :sunny: (tanning bed or booth) It does wonders for excema and psoriasis. I know some people wont like that answer , BUT it truly works. :rainbow:

Did I read your post right? Did you say use the NAilfresh BEFORE the Scrubfresh? I always thought the nailfresh went on right before the primer. :ack: Gosh, let me know. Maybe this is why I have lifting.

Do you ever have days that it looks like a 5 year old polished your clients nails? :rolleyes: Lately my polish ahs been getting so thick and is hard to apply. I have a huge skylight in my nail roon and I think that is the culprit of the thick polish. Anyway, some clients make a big deal out of...

WHEEEWWW!! I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks OPI has gone mad :twisted: I love doggies soooo much and thats fine if people want to do that to their pets, but it is crazy for OPI trying to capitalize on animal lovers. They should leave that to Iams or Science Diet.

Yes I cured each layer. I have the turbo tunnel from SS. Its a 4x9 watt light and its only a couple of months old so thats not the problem. Do you have the clients hold their hands upside down to get the gel to run to the center? How do you get the gel to just sit at the stress area?

I did several sets of gels last week for prom. Mainly gel overlays on white tips. Almost everyone of those girls lost there nails right away saying they peeled and cracked where the tip and free edge meet. One said hers lifted off. Anyway they did not last more than a couple of days. I feel...
