    Ruby & Wing UV colour changing polish

    Really like them, some are a little thin in consistency like the baby blue & pink but I just apply a little more and it's fine. They dry pretty quickly too, I use vinylux so everything in comparison takes longer but I think it's not bad. Karaxxx

    Ruby & Wing UV colour changing polish

    I bought a pale baby blue ages ago and couldn't get it to "work" for the life of me. I thought it was like Gel II Reactions and changed with heat, it drove me crazy. There were no instructions and I didn't understand what "inside/outside" meant on the lids! DOH. After doing some...

    Clients struggling with new CND LED lamp

    I've had a few teething problems at first but am doing what Trinity suggest and having a little trial first. I tell clients to keep their fingers together until they are in then gently spread out in order to find the dips - it's worked a treat. I've put a little bit of duck tape over the wire...

    Good quality nail files

    I used to buy the thin black ones that were a high grit grade from Sweet Squared (not the official CND ones), that've been discontinued or are not being stocked anymore. I hate the CND ones, they don't last anytime at all and have recently bought some from Ellisons which are no better. Can...

    Storing Shellac?

    I have mine stored in a "really useful" box and use colour pops for a client to choose from. I find the bottle colours are misleading and I can make up a huge choice on the pops, including glitters and additives - they may have something they'd not thought about. Karaxxx

    Top of the Pops

    Love this thread, very funny analogies - made me smile. I've completely dropped L&P, clients stopped asking for it so with great relief I took it off my price list. Shellac is massive for me, IBX and mani/pedis are also very popular although not luxury ones so much and pedi's can fluctuate...

    Minx nails

    I love them and wear them all and ever summer for the last 4 or 5 years but none of my clients want them these days. I've tried everything to get them loving Minx again but they just won't bite! Its a real shame as I love doing them, everyone says "your toes look amazing" and then they chooses...

    How many gel polish colours is your sweet spot?

    I used to buy every colour CND came out with but now I'm more careful so I'll only buy the ones that I know my clients will love or that are different from ones I already have. I make up a lot of additional colours with layering, glitters etc so have over 200 for clients to choose from. Karaxxx

    Enforcing a no-children policy in a salon?

    I've had a couple of occasions at my home salon when clients have had to bring their children along, whilst I'm not happy and say that its not a good idea if they insist than I let them. I state that its usually very stressful for the mother and I don't have any stuff to entertain them or keep...

    CND LED lamp?

    I agree Eva, 30 secs would be useful for my own nails and the odd repair/replacement for clients but 60 secs is half the time of my old CND lamp. So as I'm "a glass half full" kinda girl then this is a dramatic difference and I personally can't wait to see the back of that old lamp! Karaxxx

    CND LED lamp?

    Will we be able to pre-order or will we have to wait until after the launch for the "scramble" and will there be enough stock for everyone? Karaxxx

    CND LED lamp?

    I wonder/hope if the new top coat isn't so thick or prone to thickening as the old one. There's been a lot of complaints about the old one so maybe they've addressed those issues, fingers crossed. Karaxxx

    CND LED lamp?

    I was so excited with the first post, then deflated at the thought it was an April Fools joke, excited again when I realised it was unlikely to be a joke and now deflated at the thought of a fight to get one at the launch. S2 please get enough in, having been a Shellac girl from the get go, I...
