    Glitter Enhancements, using CND powders and NSI glitter,

    Yes I was trained by Liza Smith, a 1-2-1 isn't an option for me right now but lots of practise is and that's why these critiques help me so much. I am always very careful around the eponichium and I tend to use smaller beads for fear of having a clump at the bottom of the nail bed. The acrylic...

    Thanks for the further comments. Gigi I still have a lot of Perfect Practise to do. Since these nails I have put my white tips away, bought out my natural velocitys and have been practising the way I was taught by Liza, and have been getting better results... I think. The Glitter critique is...

    Glitter Enhancements, using CND powders and NSI glitter,

    Further to my "Complaints" critique I sat and treate dmyself to some glittery enhancements. I used CND powders and a NSI glitter, I can see on one nail I stayed probably a bit further away from the eponichium, what do you all think of these? Thanks in advance for taking a look;)

    Complaint Received regarding these nails...please critique

    Thanks , I also zoomed in and noticed the thumbs had slightly larger gaps, but couldn't see them on others. I also agree she was just after her wedding nails for a freebie but no amount of offense and threat is worth £12 to me so I hope that's the last of it. I have to agree they aren't my...

    Wrong mix-ratio and yellowing

    Hi, I am not sure but I also have a cnd brush and showed my educator the yellow mark it made when wiping on a tissue and she said that this was contamination of the brush. I am lucky at the moment as it isn't effecting my product but this may worsen. I know you mentioned you had cleaned the gum...

    Good glossing blocks ???

    I had learnt all the benefits but it's the smell I am in love with, we even joked on the course that the quick dry spray could be our latest room fragrance :)

    "Professional" polishes or not?

    Nail enamels also make a great retail polish so if you chose to use professional enamels you can also then retail these :hug:

    Good glossing blocks ???

    I was taught to use solar oil at the end of the treatment. So buff to a high shine then apply solar last thing and rub in. Leaves the client with a yummy smell! :green: (and me)

    Help, burning sensation on finger nail

    No the nail tip came off and she hadn't realised how it was done so it did not hurt. That was my first thought maybe she had hurt the nail plate some how but she is not aware of anything that actually hurt at the time. She has just mentioned she may have hurt it on a shopping trip! I think...
