Make sure the mixing beads are stainless steel. If the beads are zinc coated, it can cause discoloration in polish.

Hey guys, I bought the paint shaker, but also ordered stainless steel beads for my bottles. Haven't got the beads in yet. I redid her nails for Easter. This time I really made sure I had enough on my brush to properly cap the free edge with the base. I think since I use it so sparingly on...

Hey guys, I've started in a new location and have done the owner's nails twice now. She warned me she's hard on her hands (hair stylist). First time, I did a gel mani with all proper prep. (Cuticle work, cleansing, etc). She messaged a few days later showing chips on her thumb corners and...

I'm not sure, I don't see a referral code in my account when I looked online.

I've been testing out Light Elegance P+ soak off polish. For me, I loved their fun colors and amazing glitters. My natural nails have responded very well to it, even the nails that flex and bend a lot. The products are very low odor and smell like a typical gel, to me. Not much in the way of...

I'm not her, but I can say I personally am not a fan of OPI polish. They have some awesome colors, but it just doesn't last on me. My holy-grail polish is Zoya. I've been collecting for a while and have over 600 bottles. I also like Young Nails Caption polish. It spreads on the nail like...

When choosing a school, I looked at distance and programs offered. Some schools offered more hours than required. One might be easily persuaded that this means more education, which I guess could be true. But more likely, it's just more money in the school's pocket. I called several schools...

I've always worn gloves and would personally never perform a service without them. I wear nitrile gloves. They protect my hands and skin from any possible chemical exposure, not to mention potential virus infections (warts).

I used their base and top, and used my CND Shellac UV lamp to cure. I had ordered the newest led light from LE, but they sent me the wrong one. (Got the right one today). I also noticed the color shrinking away from the cuticle/sides before I could apply to five fingers, despite applying the...

Hey guys, I recently bought an intro kit from LE with their P+ polishes. I applied it Monday and decided to remove it today as I didn't like how I applied it. I'm used to working with Shellac, and this went on differently. Anywho, I was under the impression you didn't have to file the top...

There are full grown adults who naturally have very small nail beds. As there are adults with very large nail beds. I bet you don't charge less for the smaller, or more for the larger. Age shouldn't be a factor in pricing. If you are lucky she will be careful and patient, but even some...

I just started practicing with it again and am seeing air bubbles. I think it's because I'm not familiar with acrylic and work way too wet. And I pat a lot. Pat and poke. lol I've been sitting this afternoon applying acrylic to tips. The longer I work with it, the more I'm able to tweak...

I LOVE Zoya!! I have over 200 bottles at HOME, and finally convinced the owner to switch over in the spa. We were using Spa Ritual, and even the other techs instantly said they love Zoya and how great the consistency is. :) They are a good pricepoint, and are big 3 as well. They come out...

If you feel it would be best to wait till after prom, do so. If an opportunity presents itself before then, take it. If you can't find a room right away, perhaps because it is meant for you to wait till after prom. This guy sounds like a real ass. You are much stronger for putting up with...

Okay, now I want to know! lol

When I was going to school for nails, ironically there was a man who worked in the bus station who had acrylics. Now he wore them long, and painted them deep forest green or navy. He had lots of questions including myself, (respectful of course!) but he said he was a straight married man, but...

Hmm, that is odd. At least you can rub it off! For me, depending on what shower gel I use, it can affect the shine when I get out. A dulling effect, that is easily wiped away...sort of like a soap scum? Sounds gross, I know. lol

Are your albums set to private, or friends only? I can't see the pic...
