    Booked CND Gel course - finally!

    I've finally got round to booking my CND Gel course which I start in Jan 2013 at Leeds. I was hoping to start in October but apparently there is no course at Leeds then :confused: Any way I'm booked so if any one else is planning on the same course or the CND Complete or Enance at the same time...

    Training - just get on with it!

    That's it, my minds made up. I am a qualified Beauty Therapist that does nails, not nail enhancements but I offer Shellac, Gel Polishes, Minx and Manicures & Pedicures. I am NOT a nail technician but I want to be one, I want to be a brilliant one. I've spent weeks, in fact months reading over...

    Gelish prep?

    Hi guys. I think I'm confusing myself here as I offer Shellac, Gelicure & Gelish. I use CND Scrubfresh for Shellac and Gelicure with no problem. Do any Gelish Geeks use Scrubfresh with Gelish prep & if so do you still use PH Bond and do you cleanse, Scrubfresh then Foundation? Thanks :-)

    Gelish French over structure gel

    Hi when doing French over structure do I need to dry brush the structure after cure? Also can I do 2 thin coats of structure for added strength and if so would you do the second coat of structure immediately after the first coat or would there be any benefits to applying it after the French colour??

    Can I use Harmony Structure Gel before Shellac or Gelicure

    I use all three of the above systems and never mix them. I have some clients who request Shellac for example and they wear it very well apart from on a couple if nails, where they struggle with chipping or peeling. I feel these nails need some extra strength. I'm not trained in Brisa or any...

    Gelicure black

    Hi any Gelicure users. I have used the black yesterday and it was so watery and sheer. I applied 4 coats and you could still see the nail through the colour - it was no way a solid shiny black, more a wishy washy charcoal. I had to use glitter over to make it look nice. I know Shellac Black...

    How do some of us stand a chance when salons/technicians sell their services so cheap. In the town centre where I live Minx is £15 with a free pedicure & one of my clients has Shellac done by a home based lady for £10. I am home based & charge £21 for minx & £20 for Shellac and I know that is...

    Hit and miss spray from gun. Help

    :irked: While I am doing my tans the spray coming from the gun is a bit 'hit n miss'. I am dealing with is by re spraying over the area or doing a full mist over in circular spray. Any ideas why this is happening. The gun is clean. the filter is clean.

    Darkening tan with DHA drops?

    Hi Im using Tantrick solutions and used a 14% tan on a client (Max 100ml + 4 drops). My client has said that the tan isn't dark enough and would like much darker next time.
