    The very best fast drying topcoat?

    My favorite for many years has been Poshe. And clients rave about the fact their polish stays glossy much longer with this top coat.

    omg just had email from Dermalogica

    Hey skin geeks....Question for you guys regarding Dermalogica....Can you guys readily buy it from say a supplier or distributer? Over here in America, even though I am licensed I am having the hardest time finding a way to purchase it without paying retail. I have a friend who carries it in...

    Best natural nail dryers

    Ha, I'm American and I don't even like the dryers. More of my clients mess their nails up trying to put their hands in or take them out. What a mess. I polish then use Poshe' top coat, then let set for like two minutes and after that give them a couple of minutes under a fan I hold over them...

    Filing question

    Well that is one of the things that is attracting me to go more with gels is that there is less filing involved. At this stage of the game my hands are beat but that's mostly from trying to control those "controlling" clients. (the ones who NEVER relax their hands) :mad:

    Filing question

    I was wondering about the filing techniques you ladies use over in the UK. Do you all hand file or do any of you use an E-file (nail drill)? Is using an E-file even permitted in the UK? I know most of us over here in the US use an E-file.

    Nail Query!! how to tell if its a soak/buff gel

    Also, I find if the nail is gel only and it's a soakable, it will be flexible almost like a natural nail. Regular gels and acrylics will be hard as rocks.

    Microplane footfile

    It's funny because one of my fellow geeks here in the states turned me on to this thing. I was skeptical at first but I broke down and got one (bought it in the kitchen utensils aisle at Bed Bath and Beyond) So I did use it and I did very much like the results. But you must be light handed...

    All your PopIts questions answered here!! The OFFICIAL thread for PopIts Q & A's

    Well fellow geeks, I am happy to report that I did my first set of Popits yesterday and I lived to tell about it. (hehehe it really wasn't so bad) I think they came out pretty decent for my first time. I used CND pink over some CND white tips (Velocity) and the color (of the powder) was quite...

    Eh? What's this - the fastest french !!!!!!!!

    Yeah but how does that work sanitation wise? I can see if you are using it only on yourself but I can't really see using that thing on multiple clients (you never really know who has what) I mean it seems a good idea though.

    Wanting to try a new gel system.

    At the show I was just at I had one of the Akzentz reps do my nails with the gel polish. I feel like I have nothing on my nails, they are so nice. This particular gel is in their Options line which, as Bagpuss stated, is a soakable gel. I did end up buying the kit as I also too wanted to try...

    Cuccio samples!

    I have tried some of their pedicure products and they are ok but I'm not too pleased with the scents. The only thing I like from them (they are made under the Star Nails brand) is their clear tips. I find them easy to blend and my P&W's look good because I can create my own smile lines and not...

    I've been asked for PopIts by Name!!!

    Well I am surely excited as I have picked some up at the big show I attended last weekend. Even picked up some pretty CND powders as well. Can't wait to try them! :green:

    What is the equivilant to SolarSeale that Sallys sells?

    I don't know about the rest of the states but here in Florida, Sally's carry a whole range of CND products. I usually just get mine from my local distributer because why the heck should I pay retail? I just went to a huge convention this past weekend so I stocked up (can't resist those show...

    Natural Nails Curling inwards at tips?

    You are indeed correct. Basically, there is nothing you can do to prevent it, but there are different things you can do to remedy it. You can glue them down to the sides of the enhancement, you can trim them down or e-file them out. But if it's for natural nails, that's how they will be...

    My First Full set of PopIts!

    Those look pretty darn good to me. Good job for a first timer. Ever since I saw the video how to I have been so intrigued to try these. I went to the web site but it's all in Spanish. I am going to a huge hair and nail show in Orlando Florida June 1,2 so I'm going to see if anyone there...
