    Gold and silver stamping polishes?

    I've always used the Barry M foil effects gold and silver but they don't seem to make them anymore. Can anyone recommend good replacements please? Thanks in advance.

    CJP or INK London?

    I use cjp and love it. Over the years I've used NSI, CND and young nails (was a yn fan for a long time) I read so many good things about cjp and the trial kit is such a good price that I felt I had to try it. I haven't looked back. It's so easy to apply and files like a dream. My infill times...

    Anyone know what these marks are?

    It could be dehydration, I don't think she uses cuticle oil. Any reason they would only be dehydrated where the gelish was? I would have expected the entire nail to be in the same condition if that was the case. She has always come to me, which is why I'm really hoping it's nothing I've done...

    Anyone know what these marks are?

    Hi peeps, I haven't posted anything on here for a loooong time but I need some help! I've been doing my step mum's nails for a while now, started out with just gelish then added IBX as well. Her nails are not particularly strong but have always been in good condition (compared to a lot I've...

    Confidence issue

    Wow! You have nothing to worry about! I felt the same when I started out 6 years ago. Apparently I had the skills but lacked the confidence. I promise it gets easier! The more sets of nails you do the more compliments you get....the more compliments you get the more your confidence grows. None...

    NSI files letting me down, help!

    Young nails 'file under must have' are very similar to Dura files.

    Level of Geekness as opposed to Reps

    Also, I personally never think to use the rep button. I kind of forget it's there and I'm sure I can't be the only one.

    Level of Geekness as opposed to Reps

    I never go by the number of posts or reps because there are people who post constantly (even to give the same advice already given 10 times on the same thread) and people who only post if they feel they have something new to add. There are also hugely geeky people who only seem interested in...

    April price rises

    Charge what you believe you are worth and don't worry about what other people are charging. As long as you are doing a great job you will work less hours for more money while they work harder for less money x

    Should I lower my prices?

    I had a look at your facebook page and your lashes look really good, much more natural looking than some. I think £40 for a full set and £20 for infills is definitely too cheap for the quality of your work! With all the effort you've put in I would expect you to be fully booked , even charging...

    Should I lower my prices?

    I don't do lashes but did recently look into getting mine done. I enquired at 2 local salons and actually decided that when I have the time and money I'm going to book in with the more expensive of the 2. The first is offering a full set for £50 and infills for £25, the other is £62 for a full...

    Easter weekend projects?

    Just wondered if anyone else is in the middle of an easter weekend project? I seem to have a habit of starting one every year! I think it's because the kids are ususally at their Dads so it's a chance to get things done. Easter 2011 was spent building a partition wall in the main bedroom to...

    Gelish vs GELeration

    I've never used Geleration so can't comment on the quality or offer any kind of comparison. Gelish however is my absolute favorite nail product EVER! I love it! And as you said, people have heard of it and will ask for it by name (same as shellac) Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong by...
