Hi I put some acrylic enhancements on my friend's nails the other night, but they all just "fell" off within a couple of days. When i was putting them on, her hands were very moist, and she said she always suffers with 'sweaty' hands. Anyway, they 'pinged' straight off, with no damage to her...

Had a go at marbling today, or should i say several goes!!! It seemed to work ok on 'tester' nails, but when i tried it on my own nails, the varnish seemed to 'set' in the water as soon as i dropped it in the water. Any ideas why this might have happened? I rent space in a sunbed salon, and...

I can't seem to come to a happy medium when it comes to applying the acrylic to zone 3....i've tried to take in what Geeg said about not letting the zone 2 bead go more than half way up the natural nail, then placing the zone 3 bead on the edge of that one and nudging it up slightly to leave a...

When it comes to doing an infill / rebalance, i know you buff the nail down and remove any lifting, then you scrubfresh, but do you still remove the shine from any parts of the natural nail that you can see, and do you apply primer before using the acrylic? I've looked at the articles on...

Does anyone know where i can get medium sized rhinestones from ? I can only find companies with small and large ones, and I desperately need the medium ones !! I've had them before, but i can't remember who i got them from !! It needs to be a UK based company so i can get them using mail...

hi. I've not used clear tips before, and i just wondered, when you have to blend the tip onto the nail, how do you stop it looking 'cloudy' when you buff it to blend it to the nail ? And can you only really use these tips if they're going to be painted, or can they be left clear? Its just i...

Hi. i just wondered which forms were the best for sculpting..the disposable or the re-usable ones? And how on earth do you manage to sculpt a nail when there's no free edge to fit the form under ? Or do you only fit a tip to this type of nail? When i did my training we only sculpted when there...

hi. I've just been looking at the ka-sa-ra site, and when i looked at the edge acrylic system, the description says (quote)"Its applied with a one phase ball of product and brush action, rather than a 3 phase application. Its a cross linked monomer with a finely sifted powder of 'medium' set...

Does anyone know why the paint sometimes still sprays out, even when the trigger is not pulled back ? I replaced the needle recently, but am still having problems with it. I think my airbrush has a mind of it's own, cos on some occasions the paint only comes out when it wants to, and on other...

i just wanted to ask .... when you use the clear tips, are they used solely for clients who want to have polish on their nails all the time, or can they be left clear, and perhaps have a design airbrushed or painted on them ? The reason im asking is , don't you see the natural nail's free edge...
