I've had a call from somebody looking for a manicure in Radlett. It is a present for her mother in law and she wants her to have a manicure at the nursing home that she's at on Wednesday 9 March - is anybody able to help this woman?? I said i would ask around as its outside my area and i'm...

I have to say that i think people over-use the privilege of being able to give negative reputation points and remain anonymous. I have received two negative reputation points recently both of which were completely unnecessary and over the top. One of those reputation points was in respect to...

Please dont laugh at this but i've got a number of nail adhesives where the plastic of the bottle is so hard that i'm not strong enough to squeeze out the adhesive. Its not that they are gummed up coz they are brand new! I'm reluctant to just bin them but can anybody suggest a container i could...

I'm a bit baffled as i'm having a problem that i've not come across before and its on myself!! I applied a new set of tips and f/g overlay and within a day or so they were coming off at the tip. I assumed this was because i'd used resin to apply the tips as opposed to nail glue/tipbond gel but...

One of my clients who has occasional nail enhancements for weddings etc. asked me to get something to strengthen her nails as she is a landscape gardener and is very hard wearing on them. I immediately thought of Toughen Up (which i bought at Excel!) as its mentioned so much. She doesnt paint...

As tempting as it is to doll my nails up with nail art which i love doing is this wise i ask myself!! Is it best to leave them "naked" for experimenting purposes?? Anybody with any experience of nail shows - what do you reckon? What are all you other geeks gonna do?

Can anybody tell me what is the difference between wrap sealer and finishing sealer. The wrap sealer appears to be a thinner viscosity but wondered if it does the same job. I ask this coz my finishing sealer is at the bottom of the bottle and died a death when i just went to use it. :( However...

Those of you who got their September edition of Professional Nails - did you see our very own JoJo in the tech talk bit? Was it a good article?? We havent got copies yet but would love to know how it looked.

The venue for the 11 September Essex meeting was due to be at mine in Barnet. Unfortunately i can no longer host this meeting. I hope i have given plenty of notice so that somebody else can step into the breach and offer their hospitality.

I wear fibreglass wraps and have noticed that one particular nail which now has virtually no tip at all is very yellow and yet my other ones arent! Can anybody tell me why that would have happened? When i look at it the part that is closest to the free edge is very yellow but the newer nail is...

Great news all round: not only is JoJo back home again but she saw her consultant today and she's got the all clear!! No more operations and no more chemotherapy - here's to wishing her a speedy recovery!!!!!!!

Just wanted to ask you to be thinking positive thoughts for JoJo. Unfortunately, she's back in hospital. She has an infection behind her wound and is rather poorly and being pumped with mega antibiotics. Here's to lots of good vibes going her way and a speedy recovery and back to the comfort of...

I've been having a practice with More Than White under my Ezflow L&P and i'm having problems! When i buff over the L&P comes off the edges of the MTW as if its too soft - am i doing something wrong?

My mother used to be an artist so has various different unused brushes she has offered me. Some are sable but alas these are too small for L&P but she also has some size 7/8s which are "hair". I know that nylon cannot be used but can anybody tell me what constitutes "hair" and if it is ok to use...

Just had a long chat with Jo and she's doing well although feeling pretty tired. She came home yesterday and is being well looked after by Chris' parents. Will post again after i speak to her next.

Hi all. Just to let you know that i've just spoken to Jo and she's doing okay. She's a little sore (obviously!) but sounded pretty bright. Surgery went well but wont have any results of the analysis for a few days and wont see a consultant until Monday. If anybody wants details to send her a...

Can anybody tell me how on earth you know how far down the nail you are with a white tip that has no well area ie. nothing to "click in"??? I got some and they have a lovely shape but not sure how to use 'em :( .

Just a quick question: the client i did a week ago called me and said that they were "cracking" so i asked her to pop over which she did! After i'd nearly had a heart attack and my tummy was turning over and over, i was pleasantly relieved! Her idea of cracking was a tiny crack in two of the...

Thought i'd share how impressed i am with EzNails in the US (suppliers of Ezflow). I sent an order through on the website for an L&P starter kit and would you believe it arrived today! Thanks to Cathie for that bit of advice!!

I've heard mention that a tax has to be paid on goods imported from the US into England. Can anybody tell me how it is calculated? Is it based on a percentage of the total cost of the goods?
