    Bubbles in the Gel

    That sounds rather slack, how can you practise if you don't know what you are doing wrong. I hope you didn't pay for that advice :lol:

    Can I use Brisa?

    You have to train with Brisa gel to use it, also with creative L&P to use that. What Bagpuss meant was that you will be able to buy tips from Creative (well that was my take on the convo anyway :lol:)

    Is honesty your best policy when offering critique?

    This is something that has bugged me also. I have posted 1 thread in the critique so far (only because I don't have the means to get pics onto the computer, but I did manage to get some on as a 1 off so straight to the critique they went). Most of the answers I got were on the art work...

    Repairing damaged nails

    Of course, the questions definately narrowed things down :) I will definately let you know how I get on. This better not mean I can't have acrylic nails though, I've hated not having them for so long and have been looking forward to my nails getting better so I can put a set on again lol...

    Chemicals that melt top coats?

    Hi Sharon, Sorry I can't help with what the problem could be, but I do wonder why you don't just buff them to a high shine? I never use a top coat on clients and they still look great when they come back for rebalances.

    Repairing damaged nails

    There are definately no drills involved, I have never even touched a drill, or had one used on me. All I have been doing to my nails since the beginning of the year is painting them (probably about twice) and lightly manicured them about 3 times, and thats just using CND cuticle remover, a...

    Repairing damaged nails

    Thanks for your reply Gigi, that gives me a bit of hope. But my nails are as thick and strong as they were before I started having acrylics (I only started when I started training) They were thinner and bendy before they started lifting, but now they are very strong as usual. Could that...

    Ventilation concerns help please

    Would the salon owner let you install an external extraction system? I would say that using the low/no odour systems would be worse, because then you are breathing in all the vapours without realising it. At least with the regular systems you know the problem is there so you can fix it...

    Repairing damaged nails

    Hmm no I've never been allergic to anything, always been healthy as, and USUALLY have awesome natural nails (great C-Curves, reasonably long nail beds, strong and never had a problem growing them) but ever since I let students work on them they have been crap (that includes myself when I was a...

    Repairing damaged nails

    Thats interesting, I have a feeling that mine are reacting to a product I am using on them, so I am trying to keep them as natural as possible until they are fixed then I can hopefully work out what it is by using an elimination process.

    Repairing damaged nails

    Thanks for your advise :) So if I don't soak in water, how do I get the tea tree oil on? I know I could just rub it on the top, but I thought it would work best if it got under my nails and into the lifted bits too? They are nice and short, also nice and strong :)

    Repairing damaged nails

    Repairing damaged nails

    Ok so my natural nails seem to be suffering from a little bit of onycolisis, it's not really bad or anything, but in my attempts to let them heal it seems to be encorouging it to become worse. So what I have done so far, is putting some of that antibacterial cream (I think its called...

    Gel Nail Removal - Is this a common Practice

    I've never heard of this, I thought you were going to say they pinged them off lol. Am interested to hear some informed answers though...

    Short time between infills

    Ok now I'm with ya! I was thinking that you meant that it wasn't physically possible to do the rebalance, I was quite confused as I couldn't for the life of me think of a reason lol :smack: I was beginning to think I was missing some vital info. Sorry xx

    Odourless acrylic

    Hi Sharl :) I saw some the other day while browsing suppliers websites, ill have a look and see if I can find which one it was for you. I wouldn't recommend using odourless acrylic though, especially not while still in training. xx

    What do you think of EDGE ACRYLIC

    I feel that it is quite unprofessional the comments about Edge products on this thread. I hope not to offend anyone, but I have been told before by moderators that we shouldn't be talking like that about products on a professional site, after I shared some of my personal experiences with...
