Thanks for your input, everyone! If I could last 2 weeks, I would stick with it for a while, but I think I'll give it up :( Today is one week and they're quite sparse. You've all confirmed my gut feeling.

She actually did ask. I use Bioderma with a q-tip but I really don't wear much eye makeup when my extensions are looking good. I also tend to sleep on my side and that side loses faster but it still doesn't explain why both eyes shed so quickly. I do have quite oily skin (hence I don't use any...

Hi, I'm hoping a pro can tell me if it is time to give up. I recently started getting lash extensions. I loved them but they only look good for about a week. I follow the after care to a tee and am super careful. After my first try, I went to a different salon for a fill. She was shocked how...

I also hate it with a passion. Doing my left hand is a breeze (of course I always do it first:lol:). My right hand is gruelling. I always get a bit of lifting because I can't seem to get to the far side of it quite right. My left hand I could easily leave for many weeks because it is in...

Same here.

I have used both Calgel and Bio. I prefer Bio because: -it is less likely to yellow for French when you use S gel -more extensive colour range -I've had more success getting a nice opaque finish with Bio - some Calgel colours aren't as deep with 2 coats Having said that, Calgel is also an...

Also, other soak off gels may appear cheaper but in the end are they really less expensive? 1. Many others take longer to soak off - more time equals income lost 2. Many take more gel to achieve the same opacity Bio gives with 2 coats - using more product costs more money 3. All offer a far less...

I had an Axxium colour applied by a trained tech. It is very 'bendy' and offered little support. It looked very nice applied to my short nails but started to chip after 1.5 wks although it is only meant to last 2 weeks. Bio stays on as long as I can live with the regrowth. The most frustrating...

I've tried a few other soak off lines because I could purchase colours at a better price. I've come to the conclusion that Bio is worth the extra money. I agree with Bagpuss that it's worth contacting Bio to see how they can help you get your stock rather than starting with a new product. You...

Yes, I think it is professional. The only time I think it is problematic is when one switches products, or tries another because they're struggling with the one they started out with. If working with a quality product I would want to overcome the issue rather than moving on and likely...

For me, it's all about the names and hearts behind the marketing. If a company has proven themselves trustworthy and true to their claims, then their marketing statements are very credible to me. Companies that make claims too good to be true, or choose to put down other products in an...

I've seen the strong sunlight fading as well. I have a client who swims regularly and doesn't fade so I figure it's more the sun on vacation than chlorine.

I've just been in my store and they still have the full range. In fact they had a more extensive range of Brisa than they had a few months ago. When I read your first post, I was hoping it was your area specifically. What a disappointment!:cry: Well at least Dee can get some products there in...

I've gone in the pool or hot tub with Bio colours and never had a problem.

You can buy CND solar and sticky right at Cosmoprof in St. Catharines. It is on Ontario Street. There is also a store in north Niagara Falls and Welland if you don't get what you need in St.Kitts. Just take a copy of your certificate to the store and your can get your pro card. They only sell to...

Thanks for sharing the new colours, Lindsay. Cherry Liqueur looks wonderful.

I'm in my mid 30s and still have oily skin and break outs. I used to use cleansers that gave me a squeaky clean finish. Last year I switched to Cetaphil (regular, not the oily skin version) and I really like it. My skin is actually a little bit less oily - I guess because I'm not stripping it of...

Cerries, I'm not sure what product you are using... if it's a soak off gel just make sure not to use it on the enhancement as it contains some acetone and it will start to soften the product - it won't be shiny.

Also, check out her website: Welcome to Polished.ca... Educational website for Nail Technicians, Online Supply Store, Tutorials, Pictures, Discussion Forums I've trained with her and she is wonderfully knowledgable, kind and has very high standards. Good luck!

You definitely won't be disappointed if you train with Bio. It's an excellent product and like Zingara wrote, many people ask for it by name. I have used it for several years and still love it. Brisa is a top-notch choice as well. I ended up training with Akzentz as my Brisa class was...
