Well, did one of my regular clients last week and she called today to say that 3 of her nails have cracks in? Don't know where exactly until I see her on Wednesday but I can't think why it's happened!! I use ret+ and she's been having her nails done for months now and it's never happened...

Oh God just what I dreaded! I have a client tomorrow and no way have time to get to the OSNS to buy another but just checked my gear and my BRUSH IS YELLOWING....AAaaarrgghh!!!!!!!! The tip is ok it's when I press down hard on tissue that it's leaving a yellow tint. Guess the ferrule is...

Thinking of doing the Fabric course with Creative just so I have another service to offer. Would anyone recommend it along with L&P or should I just go for the Brisa??

So far I have always used Velocity, curvy/easy blend etc. Just out of interest does anyone use any other tips that compare ??

Just want to make sure that everyone does it this way (I'm sure you do).... I have a client who has 2 rebalances every 2 weeks but on the 3rd visit requests a new set. She said she doesn't like to see her natural nails underneath. SO....you do charge for a full set on the 3rd visit(and not a...

I've been asked by a client (next time I do her rebalance) if I could decorate each nail with just one small crystal rhinestone on the smile line. Of course I can I said (!!!).......Which gems do I buy? Where from? What size? AND best of all...how do I apply it????? Also...on her following...

Can anyone tell me if they do as many Gel nails as they do L&P? I'd love to be able to offer an alternative to L&P but my friends friend(!) has her own salon and says that absolutely NOBODY has the gel nails (NSI Balance) as they find it too flexible and soft on the nails. I was thinking of...

I desperately want to get hold of some videos showing mainly L&P. Can anyone recommend any good ones and also where I can get hold of them.

I'm doing a clients nails tomorrow (L&P enhancements) and she has asked if she could have a paraffin dip immediately after as her hands are extremely dry. She is getting married on Saturday and is only free tomorrow. I was planning on doing the enhancements first followed by the dip but I've...

My 20 month old daughter used to sleep brilliantly through the night until last week! She has now decided that she hates her cot and is absolutely petrified when I take her up to bed! She screams and screams until I give in and take her back downstairs. Then....5 minutes she's fast asleep on...

Mmmm! Did I do the right thing? Did a client last night with a forever french overlay but she had broke 1 of her nails and she wanted this tipping. She also requested the 'square' look but she'd filed her own thumb nails into 'points' so when I squared them she said she would prefer these...

I have a client to do on Thursday who has requested a French Manicure as her natural nails are quite long...apart from one! She has asked me if I could put one nail enhancement on. Would this be ok?? She is going to a wedding on the Saturday so I don't want it to look strange....

Does anyone recommend Millennium files? I'm putting an order in and don't know whether to add some to the order to try them out....

OMG...another dreaded rebalance due Thursday!!! Well I had such a bad time last week so I am determined to get it done quicker and better this time! Do you think I'll manage with Outblack followed by Koala?? I'm also taking a lamp...found I was struggling for light last time which could have...

I have a client who wants a set of L&P done for her wedding next week but she's also asked if I can give her a paraffin dip on the same evening as her hands are extremely dry. Would this be a problem, if not which should I do first...the wax dip or the enhancements?? Thanks :)

I need a few pointers if anyone would be so kind to help me. I sat my Foundation Course in April so I'm very new to nails so .......... what next?? I know I need further training, without a doubt on rebalancing but where do I go from here? Which is the next stage? I'm told I can't do the...

I was told the other day that L&P is the easiest Nail System. Is this true? For all you Geeks that do L&P. Fabric and Gel can you please tell me which you think is the easiest/quickest and the most popular with your clients.

Further to my recent post of 'nightmare', can I just ask what files everyone finds best to rebalance with. I'm sure I'm using the wrong grit that's why it's taking me forever!

Well I did a rebalance last night and OMG...it took me 3 hours! I just seemed to be filing away forever and not getting anyway. Luckily enough it was my friend and she didn't seem to mind but when I got home I was absolutely gutted and so disheartened. I'm dreading the phone ringing asking me to...

Just wondered what you think is the best way to apply Creatives MTW. I've tried one sweep from side to side and also in two strokes from each side in (if that makes sense) and neither look that good. And as for tidying up the smile line with Nailfresh, can't get to grips with that-it seems to...
