Doing a client tonight with normal Rimmel Red nail polish with nail art. All nails completely dry. When I went to put cuticle oil on at end it rubbed nail polish off and I had to start again :( Promise nail polish was DEFINATELY dry!!! Any ideas :)

Hi, I live in the isle of man and prices for mobile (which I am) is very competitive. I tend to do a set charge of m£25 whether infils or new sets. However, Ive just started doing handpainting on acrylic nails and have no idea how much i should be charging considering the time it takes...

Hi, Does anyone use an android app for their phone to record clients - as in record cards? Thanks

Hi Its been ages since ive been on here, is there not the swap shop anymore? Leeann

Quick query, I use NSI Acrylic Natural White for my tips, when I do the infils I always find that you can see a difference in colour where the original acrylic was applied and the new acylic obviously further down. Therefore, once finished it looks two tone. Any ideas what im doing wrong -...

OK, I'll start from the beginning. New client a month or so ago did NSI Attraction pink and white - no problems. Came for infils 2 weeks later - no problems. Then last night she came for infils, she had one missing and two were just held on by the glue. (this is very unusual for me - dont...

I currently use Creative polishes but quite fancy changing to OPI or Misa or something. I prefer a fast drying polish as I find creative quite slow hense the reason I fancy a change. Does anyone have any recommendations and where to buy from? I have done a search but couldnt find...

Ok, I am sure this will sound like a really silly question, but I used black acrylic to do a set of nails two weeks ago, then yesterday I did the infils. I found it really hard to do as couldnt tell properly if there was any lifting because it was black, of course when you use pink you can tell...

I've only just started using the kit and found that when I mix colours with the black that it doesnt mix well and when applied it leave black streaks in the acrylic. Is there something wrong with the powder or am I doing something wrong. i've emailed NSI but I thought someone might know on...

Had a new client last night for a removal and manicure. What a nightmare!!!! I use a quick soak bowl from NSI and normal takes me about 1 hour to remove and do a mini-manicure. But last night, I soaked for 10 mins and when I took them out there was no change at all, so I filed them down a...

Now I am building up some of my clients are on their 4th Infils. Since doing the 4th infil I have found they are coming back with lifting. I dont understand it, Im not doing anything different than the other infils, but I have had two come back this week and both of them have lifted (4th...

There seems to be lots of threads relating to how long it takes to do extensions but couldnt see anything on here for a manicure. It takes me between 25 mins and 35 mins to do a mini- manicure and about 45 mins to do a full manicure or a french manicure. Just wondered how long everyone else...

As a lot of you will know from my previous postings I have just retrained after 10 years and I was have a few problems with lifting, after getting advice from on here it sounded like my brush wasnt very good and maybe contaminated. Well I have had my new brush a month now and I LOVE IT, OH...

Only just started doing nail art (which I appear to be very good at :)) but I think I have mad a mistake with my price list, which at present is as follows: - Transfers: .50p per nail and £4.50 for full set Hand Paint: .75p per nail and £6.00 for full set Metalic Wrap: .60p per nail and 5.00...

Hi At the moment we charge: £25 infils £4.00 fix £40.00 full set £20 removal £10 removal if new set being put on I am finding that some client come for infils with say 4 broken nails so that would be £25 plus £16.00 therefore £41.00 - hence cheaper to have a full new set. I am having...

Been reading through old threads today and noticed on a few threads that some people when doing P&W apply the white to all the nails first and then do the pink. I trained to do each nail at a time, so just wondered how many of you do the white first then the pink. Would have started a poll...

:rolleyes:I have been growing my nails and broke and bitten my two thumbs, as havent done sculpting for 10 years I decided to have a go on my thumbs - got to say they look really good:) However, my thumbs are really hurting when any pressure is put on them - any ideas?
