Safest Option If you are moving town - you are moving with no clients (i assume)? Personally, I'd continue being a mobile tech, build up a regular customer base in this new town(create a regular income). THEN ... maybe look into starting your own nail salon with your existing customer base...

I use Simply Nails gel.. it is fab - the pink is just the greatest gel i have ever used. (not too keen on thier cut out tips - but the gel rocks) I think they send out free samples - I got some free coloured ones from them about 8 weeks ago. Just fone them and ask for a sample of the pink...

I have had the same problem in the past. I bought some great stuff from QVC. Seche Vite ... I thnk, can't remember too much. But it is a top coat that aids the drying process some how. Not too sure how it works... but it was fab. Allows you ladies to leave the salon without snagging nails...

I love gel. I actually think that gel is the way forward. A lot of my clients only ask for L&P, cos they think it is the only system. Mind you - it does take me about 15 -20 mins longer to apply gel than the other. But the nails are thin at the cuticle, strength buit into centre and lovely...

may be it is hair dye? If it is at the sides maybe it has bleed underneath the overlay cos there was possibly seperation. Was there any lifting down the sides? If it was hair dye, maybe it would also stain the regrowth at the cuticle area. Was that area stained.

Bit confused on this comment? I transfer my monomer using a pipette from my source, then pop it into my dappen dish. I have to use a dappen dish lid whilst working and also use a face mask when applying L&P. And yes i use a extracter fan and air purifyer I can still smell the damn stuff -...

I only do L&P if I have to. I tend to prefer UV Gel. Lots of my new clients ask for L&P. They have generally previously had their nails done in the Oriental Nail Bars. They tend to think L&P is the way forward, cos most of the friends have been there also. I explain the diference of EMA &...

It probably is the sticky residue. Try using one pad per finger. When you re-use the pad EG: you wipe residue off of one finger then use the SAME pad to take the residue off of the next finge..... you are transfering the residue to from first finger to the skin of the next. I have one...

I agree a new file per client. I use a 100/180 white file it only cost me 0.45p + vat. At the end of a set or rebalance, i bin it in front of the client. This reassures the client that I don't re-use my files

If you wear tips (and tips applied to small - or using too small curved tips), then when you soak off, you can find they tend to curl. They sorta been molded for weeks prior to taking off. I know this sounds mad - but i had a friend who did it constantly. She applied small tips to make her...

Instead of saying you can't - say you can, cos you can

Have you tried to apply your own recently. It may be a good way to encourage yourself to follow through the desire to do nails again. Then take time to decide on wot skills you need to brush up on. Conversion or full course. Search around - talk to nail companies on the phone. Get a...

Lots of differenttechniques to apply white gel. I am assuming you currently use a brush. Ever Tried a Dotting Tool Pick up a small amount of white. Allow a tear drop from the fine point to collect. Set it down in the left hand corner. Once contact occured pull it back up and drizzle a...

They seem really reasonable @ £**.** per 500. When i started tips where around £35.00 per 360. Doesn't things change. When posting this - i am also checking out if my signature comes up. Later, I am gonna add a photo to my profile. Sorry girls, I am a litlle exited over anything LOL.

I think i might try some ....... I know this is a stupid question. Do you need to blend them (if using natural tips). I have a few Techy friends who say you don't have to blend cut out style tips...... personally, i think you do. Although, I must admit i do have a blending fetish...
