These bottles of polish have not been used. It's the same for all the bottles that I am opening. The bent ones are still able to polish, but I've not yet tried with the split ones. I imagine that will make our job harder. The newer style brushes have split since using the imix, and the older...

No worries :) Remember to factor in the cost of the mixers as well.

Yes, getting them out took me a bit of time and, while I know it would get easier with practice, my concern is that if I lose the same amount of product with each removal, I'll lose at least an application over the course of the bottle. And that costs more than the mixers! I've spent about...

I bought one. It's very small and pretty much silent (though I personally can hear a small buzzing sound, like on one of those cat and dog repelling machines) and, now that I've switched the lights off, it sits unobtrusively on my desk. So far so good! I got it because a) i can feel my hands...

You might want to try Fuji Love, it's a newish release. It's a bit more browny but is similarish and lighter than marries to the mauve.

It definitely looks like a greenie to me.

Pictures of you practicing. Can you make 3d flowers? How about making a little video of that. Do a slideshow of your most popular looks. Funny memes "sneaking to the nail lady during lockdown" while covered in a fake tree costume". How to safely remove/maintain nails. Reiterate...

I didn't get round to doing my own nails, but these were the two most popular designs in my salon this year.

I've absolutely loved it all (other than the migraine on Wednesday night!). Had an absolute blast with my clients, and it didn't seem like work at all. Though it does help that my OH has been off to look after the kids and bring me tea on demand, Haha! Three more clients tomorrow and then I'm...

I'd reckon you're looking at unearthed. It's a bit darker and less pinky than field fox, but it's the closest we've got.

You don't need 450 polishes to get started. I would say as long as you have the absolute basics: Red Light pink Hot pink Purple White Nude Black (can be used as a base for lots of art, such as foils and, when used with a pink iridescent glitter will look navy) Glitters can be added to change...

To be honest I wouldn't be working on nails where there is severe onycholysis, even without adding breast cancer to the equation. I would advise plenty of cuticle oil and perhaps a regular polish. But no gels/acrylics at all. Nails are a window to our health and many health conditions can...

I haven't tested many as I prefer acrylic, but the LE hard gels are also a good choice.

I've not done any airbrushing; my art tends to be with acrylic, hand painting or stamping.

I use the edge of my (18 year old) cuticle pusher

I had some mini scentsations (black cherry and nutmeg) from sweet squared last year and they sold very well.

It's worth mentioning that the newest lamp that was released this year has the removable base and the lead has been moved to the side. I can't personally comment on it though as my current original lamps are still in working order.

I would suggest that the complete nail tech is a nail bible and essential for all nail techs. I would also recommend Doug Schoons books and nail class by Gigi Rouse as extra reading.

It's not the most fun thing about being self employed, but it's very eye-opening :)

Exactly the same as Trinity. The only way to be in business and stay in business is to know exactly what it costs you to perform that service. That includes all products (down to the cotton pads) and refreshments, insurance, your wage and profits to reinvest, for example in training/pay...
