Hi all Could you remind me which is the brightest of the whites in the CND Retention+ powders - Pure White or Bright White? Thanks!

Bit of a strange one I had today which I couldn't work out so thought I'd see if anyone can help. I removed polish from a set of Brisa toes today and the gel was throwing off a toxic greeny/yellow hue. It was clear Brisa Stickey base coat 2 coats of OPI enamel (orange) Super Shiney top...

Just wondering as I am considering this to increase my client base. The main thing that I have thought is that clients at the current location may want to switch to the new location, which I don't want to do as it would defeat the object of aiming to increase the client base. Look forward...

Have any self-employed Geeks done Jury Service? How did you deal with the loss of earnings claim? Is it based on turnover? Was a copy of your last tax return sufficient evidence for the claim? Thanks :hug:

Well I couldn't quite believe what I saw, I'm sure it was all his own, but why? Is this the new trend in beards, nice hair cut, dodgy 1970's porn star beard! Can't fathom it myself!

Just received email confirmation of The Event - could you confirm the location? Thanks xxx

I am thinking about adding eyelashes to my menu. Back in the day I added spray tanning and it did the business. The girls in the hair salon I work in have their lashes done so am thinking this could be a new add on for me. Have any mainly you nail techs added eye lashes and made a go of it?

Good evening. Just wondering how everyone rebalances their custom blends. Do you rebalance as normal or do you fille off the free edge and resculpt it, so avoidining any potential shadowing from the old opaque pink? I haven't done many of this type of rebalance as most of my clients are...

Hi I have a client who insists on this colour on the nail bed....only client I use it on. The trouble is, I can't make it stick/last, it always lifts. It's not a length or lifestyle issue...been 'trying' to use it but unsuccessfully for well over a year now. Prep as usual....got to be a...

I posted a while ago a question as to whether techs find stilettoes a salon viable nail. I said then that I would have a go at them and so today I did. So here they are, up for evaluation. Excuses out of the way first....this is my first full set, I've only ever done the odd nail before. I...

I see so many pics and posts about stiletto nails, I love the look and I have dabbled a bit myself, but do you guys do them on a regular basis in the salon? I have only had one request for a stiletto nail following a facebook link and she only had the little finger done, black tip and she...

I was wondering if any of you guys with a pretty full book have ever had to take a significant amount of time off work due to illness, like 4 weeks plus and how did you cope. Did your clients hang on in for you? Did you have someone to help you out? Did you loose many clients? What did...

Can anyone think of any, apart from Paddington Bear lol. We thought of Mohamed al-Fayed but he's not a British citizen as yet.

I've done a search on this as it's a new one for me and couldn't come up with anything and I don't have any experience of it. My colleague did a natural nail manicure on a client on Saturday and the client rang her on Monday to say that the enamel had come off in chunks. All normal manicure...

Just something I picked up on from another thread and got me thinking, does everyone get their electrical equipment PAT (Portable Appliance Test) tested every year or every other year depending on the equipment, to make sure that it is safe to use in your business?

I have in the last few weeks started to experience pain in the proximal interphalangeal joint of my index finger, left hand. The pain is most noticable when I flex the finger....the joint also looks swollen. Is this a common thing for nail technicians to experience? I have been paying...
