Has anyone used them and could give any feedback? Or suggestions for other possible training as I'm considering waxing. Did try a search but phone playing up, apologies if this has been asked before

I've removed the OPI gelcolour in a couple of clients who had colour with no problem whatsoever, as others have mentioned it was a dream to remove, but I had a client who had french and came back after 3 weeks to have it changed and it was a complete nightmare to remove the white, I soaked for...

Can anyone recommend the best way to do a french but with a thin line of glitter along the french. I've been making a glitter paste and then putting it along the line of the french then using a gel brush to tidy, but find its quite chunky and not very tidy looking. I'm never happy with it so...

I have a client coming tomorrow for Gelish who is currently wearing Calgel which I know is a soak off gel, but just wanted to check if I need to file the product first and how long do I soak in acetone for (I use the l&p magis for soaking off acrylic so I assume these would be okay to use for...

I'm just wondering if those of you who use the gel bond glue with dashing divas, still apply a little glue on the corners of the nail as well as on the back of the dashing divas, I have been doing this but finding it's too much and the glue is sometimes spreading onto the nail. I know at the...

I'm currently a nail geek, but I'm considering doing training in spray tanning to try and increase my business. I just wondered if spray tanning is relatively easy to learn for someone with no previous beauty treatment training?

Would like some opinions on how I'm progressing, still only doing a couple of sets a week, and not sure I'm progressing that much, this clients nails were really short and she had very dry cuticles. Any hints or tips welcome. Thanks.

I have a home based salon and need to invest in some form of dust extraction, I have looked at both the fuminator or buying a new table with a built in extractor. Can anyone advise which is best as I don't want to go and spend all that money on a table to find it doesn't work too well. thanks Carol

Can anyone advise if Ellisons, Capital etc sell the above or could anyone recommend a supplier. I can't remember where I bought the actual spa from and with the better weather (living in hope :)) and pedicure season approaching I need to get some more? thanks Carol

I'm planning on investing in a new nail table, as I'm currently using one my husband made for me whilst I was training, but I'm not sure whether to go for one which has an extractor fan built in, or is it better to go for a cheaper one and buy an extractor fan sepeately, any recommendations or...

These were done on my daughters nails who is a sever nail biter and picker, need some hints and tips on how to improve, thanks.

I've just returned from 2 weeks holidays to find that my brush has gone in the huff for leaving it so long, its contaminated, and I'm guessing its from drying out, (getting yellow streaks on pad), so thought I'd try one of the suggestions of soaking it overnight in monomer using blue tack to...

Just feeling really disheartened today, was beginning to get a little bit of confidence and feel my nails were coming on a little bit, though still far from perfect, but I'm still really struggling with infills when trying to get the line invisible. I think I must be holding the file at the...

I'm still only doing nails evenings and weekends and only doing 2 or 3 sets per week, so just wanted to know how you think I'm getting on? Please be honest with me. (BTW, the client wanted the gemstone to match an outfit, but personally I think it looked better without it! :lol:) Thanks Carol

I have read the posts on the toenail reconstruciton that Gigi wrote and it sounds great to be able to do this, but can I ask if this will also work on fingernails, as I have a client who is going to be a bridesmaid at a wedding and was asking if I could do anything about her missing nail, even...

I need to get a comfortable chair for doing pedicures, as I'm just starting out, I can't afford to get the lovely massage chairs with built in foot spa & I have already purchased the footsie bath spa, so could you advise if this chair would be suitable. My concern is that it swivels and would...

I am just starting up my home salon and have just spend a fortune buying a stock of about 40 different coloured polishes (some CND, some OPI), but now that I see and hear about the new CND range, I want it, but think it may push hubby to the divorce lawyers if I invest in the whole range :lol...

I have just purchased the above to offer as a luxury pedicure, currently using the skin truth range. I currently apply the skin truth masque and put on heated booties, but I'm sure I read on here somewhere that you couldn't use the heated booties with the marine masque? Is this correct or have...

I'm having great difficulty building an apex with Brisa, I know this has been mentioned loads on here before and I've tried as Gigi suggested keeping most of the product in a line down the centre, but they're still flat. I'm scrubbing on my first layer, then placing my bead down the centre and...

Last night I decided to be brave and have a try at lengthening the look of the nail bed on a nail biting client, as I'm fed up of seeing more white than nail bed. I applied clear performance tips (as I was afraid the white would show through the pink and I dont yet have natural). I applied my...
