Thanks to all, extremely good advice. This has gone on far too long and clearly something that a doctor needs to treat. This lady had her nails done in the shopping centre, where it was quick, no appointment needed and now she is paying for it with her nails. I try to warn people and get them...

Files: I was thinking that today before I saw her! I had used the same file, but you would think that the Scrub Fresh would kill any bacteria... That certainly could be a cause... Today I was extreme and I was pedantic with my treatment. I even Scrub Freshed several times before overlaying...

OK, in furtherance to my last. My client has just been and yes there was another greenie. The only thing I can assess is that there was a very slight lift at the corner of the nail and I assume that water has gone under and created a greenie. In your professional opinion, due to her having...

Hi all I'm horrified and stumped. I have a newish client that presented to me with 3 greenies. I debulked all her nails, removed and treated the greenies with Scrubfresh. She came back for her 3 week appointment and the thumb had a greenie. I treated the thumb. She came back another 3...

Hi All My clients dad has asked if he could have acrylic nails on, to stop him from biting. He has had a manicure before but didn't like the glossy finish. What do you think? I have CND Neutral, Sheer Pink or Cool Pink. I'd like to help this fellow and understand he doesn't want to...

Hi I have an elderly lady (around 70yrs) that wants a really natural white on her nails. She tells me that her last tech used to mix two polishes together, but can't remember what they were. I'm currently using CND Pure Pink only on her and would prefer to use a acrylic tip rather than paint...

I'm hearing what you are saying. I look at "everyone's" nails and to be quite honest, some of them are looking good and I know they aren't done by a registered nail tech. I worry also about business. They get clients in and out in 40 minutes. I think the majority of their clients are young...

Nice! thanks - I'll pass this info onto her and see how she goes.

Hi I had a lady come see me this morning with yellow nails. She received some nail polish over Christmas; a coral colour. It remained on her nails for a couple of days and when removed her nails have turned bright yellow! I thought it may be a cheap polish with formaldehyde? Does anyone...

Thanks everyone. Yes, I'm a little stressed about what I might find. The trauma happened around 1 week before, so I thought it was safe to do. And I suppose I should have directed her to contact me immediately if it got sore. She did say that she was gardening last week after her appointment...

Hi all I just had a call from a client who thinks she has a nail infection. I saw her 1 week ago and she had suffered some trauma to one of her nails. The nail plate had split in the middle of the nail, exposing raw nail bed. It was bruised, but free of any infection. I cleaned the nail...

Hi I was using NSI Spa Odourless liquid for several months and have very recently changed over to NSI Attraction. It’s not that I didn’t try! The mix was quite difficult to master, but YELLOWING +++ After 3 or 4 weeks the product would start to yellow… No matter how dry...

Thanks again Geeg. I've searched and searched and searched and seen your comments on previous posts. Yep, I've over it - It's time for a change. It's a shame because when initally applied they look like any other acrylic. I have 3 lovely colours from NSI and they all discolour eventually...

yes guys, I use CND gel and absolutely love it. I have incorporated acrylic and have had success with my heavier handed ladies. Ladies that usually break one or two nails, now don't break any. Funny, but I have CND on one hand and the NSI Spa on the other! I started using the acrylic to...

Ok! Should I just give up trying odourless acrylic or keep preserving?? I’ve asked several questions previously on the use of NSI Spa and you’ve all been very helpful. I’ve tried everything, but my patience is wearing thin!! J The acrylic yellows slightly after a few weeks and if I mix any...

Hi NSI users I'm after a NSI Educator or NSI Spa user in Canberra! I'm after a 1-2-1 to iron out some problems.:green: If you can help out, would you mind PM'ing me. Thanks :)

GOOD IDEA! isn't it funny, solutions are there but you often can't see them, just the problem until someone else gives some advice :) Do you use the Spa system?

Hi All I've been trialling NSI Spa acrylic (primarily a CND gel user) for a few months now and I must say, I think it's quite good. The fact there is no odour works well for me (and the family). We are currently in winter and the product mix has changed slightly. I've been able to cope...

Hi all, I recently posted here asking about odorless L&P - got good advice and have been trialing OPI's Clarite. Have been going well with it, but I don't like the sheer pink! Compared to Brisa's lovely pinks, this colour seems, well...boring... I don't like the white either, it's not bright...

Hi, I work from home and my partner HATES the smell of traditional acrylic. I've been trialing OPI Clarite, as it's an odourless system, and thus far it seems to work well. I'm new to L&P as I've been specialising in gel. Gel is "easy to learn, hard to master". It takes heaps and heaps of...
