    Shellac and a gel polish - what do you say to clients?

    Hi all, I use and love CND Shellac, have done ever since it was released. I have done my Master Painter so always do my best to educate my clients and explain why Shellac is so different to all the gel polishes, and the advantages to those differences. However, I am now in the process of...

    Contents insurance when renting a room

    I've tried to search for this but can't find the answer to my question. I'm in the process of hopefully renting a room which I will make my nail studio. I have insurance with ABT already as I am currently mobile, but I'm wondering who everyone recommends for content insurance? Is there a...

    Essie - same in Boots?

    I tried searching to see if the following question had already been asked but couldn't find anything. Essie nail polishes are now in a lot of Boots stores (I think they are in Superdrug in some areas too), does anyone know if they are the same as the professional polishes that we buy from...

    Nail Artists - uniform or not?

    Hey Nail Geeks, Recently I've noticed lot of Nail Artists don't wear a 'uniform' and it got me thinking. I currently wear a CND Tunic as I am mobile, this way as soon as the client opens the door, they see a professional. However, I am hoping to have my own nail studio, and I think there I...

    Business loans

    Hi geeks, I have recently (and unexpectedly) left my job, meaning I am now currently just doing mobile nails. I am not hugely busy at the moment, everyone saving for Xmas I think. There is a salon near me that is for sale. It makes a decent amount of money already with 2 therapists, so I...

    CND Colour & Effects - discontinued?

    Hi geeks, As the title says really, does anyone know if these are being discontinued? Just been onto S2 to order some and the colours I wanted aren't on there anymore, and the selection seems much smaller. I will call S2 but just thought I'd see if anyone knows on here? Thanks

    Are clients better behaved at a home salon?

    Hi, I am currently mobile part time, alongside my day job in an office. I am planning to convert a spare room in to a nail studio at the end of this year as I really want to do nails full time, but I'm not sure mobile full time is for me. I find that because I'm in someone else's home that...

    Shellac Additives in CND new Lookbook!!

    Has anyone else watched the new CND Lookbook for Spring/Summer 2012? I've got to say, what a tease with the additives!! They look amazing, cannot wait for them to be launched, any clues on how long we will have to wait for them? I'm sure I heard somewhere they are to be released in the Autumn...

    Bulb in Minx lamp??

    Just about to redo my Minx on my toes and the bulb has gone. I've got a spare bulb so no problem there but, may seem like a silly question, how do I change the bulb? Looks like it needs unscrewing but is there an easier way? I don't have a screwdriver! Lol

    Gel or L&P for hairdressers?

    I've just been thinking about what makes me choose gel or L&P for a client, and I was wondering, does gel or L&P suit hairdressers better? Is one better than another because they are in water a lot? Or does it vary from person to person? I would be interested to hear what you geeks think :)...

    CND L&P - I want to love it....

    Hi Geeks, I am having a dilemma about L&P. I originally trained in CND L&P about 6 years ago and used it until about 4 years ago when I switched to NSI. I ordered some more CND L&P earlier this year, because I use Shellac and CND Brisa so it makes more sense to get everything from the same...

    Somebody who follows my Facebook has just posted a link for a salon in my town who is offering shellac and a spray tan for £13?!?! How is that possible?!

    Gel overlays cracked?

    I did a set of gel overlays for a client on Wednesday evening. She was really pleased with them but she has just contacted me to say her 2 middle nails have cracked. I made sure I capped the free edge, and she says she's been using her cuticle oil as I told her. Can anyone help as to why this...

    Pigment to mix with L&P/Gel

    Hi everyone! I've tried searching for this but cannot find the answer. I have used glitters to mix in with my L&P and Gel, but i read on a post that you can mix pigment with L&P/Gel to create colours. I have found info from previous threads about ratio mix etc but I am unsure what pigment to...

    Toe nail paints on this morning?!

    Did anyone see This Morning today?? I couldn't help but notice how badly some of the toenails were painted in the sandals and toe polish section! It made me think of Geegs latest thread on polishing and how many nail techs are taught properly these days. Not sure who did these nails, or...
