Following recent instructions on being told to apply Gelish foundation extra extra thin I have now started doing this. However, my daughter has just told me that she has one lifting after 5 days. I take it it's near the cuticle edge but have yet to see it - maybe I didn't prep properly, really...

Just wondering if you Gelish techs out there actually infil their clients regularly or if you just offer a removal and re-do service? I'd preferably not do the infils as, for one thing, it would take longer to remove the gelish in the end because of the extra layers and they may also end up...

As I understand it, as well as VAT free products we are also going to get 10% off products at the Nail Harmony stand at Excel if wearing their T-shirt. I would like a T-shirt in advance but by the time I pay for postage to order one it works out quite a bit. Does anyone know if I am able to go...

I've just seen some info about the new Gelish Magneto range. How does this work and does anyone know how much it costs and is the "magnet tool" bought separately?

Can anyone recommend the nearest colour to chocolate brown in Gelish please? Thanks

I have finally taken the leap into offering a mobile nail service again (after around 6 years out) but this time will only be doing Gelish. I have my first customer tomorrow and I want to know that I'm getting it just right. I'm actually going to book myself into a days' conversion course...

On reading the aftercare instructions for Gelish on one of these threads I just have one query. Could anybody tell me why customers are advised to be extremely careful for 24 hours after application? I don't want to be asked this by a client and then be stuck for an answer! :o

Just wondering, I usually do the thumbs separately to the fingers when I'm applying Gelish as most people can't sit their thumbs straight in the lamp when curing the fingers. However, the latest lamp I have bought has bulbs around the side too - would this cure the thumbs properly without...

Hi all - just wanting to order a base colour for french gelish. I'd like a pale pink one - not too neutral but not too dark. What would you consider to be the best colour for this?

Sorry for putting in this thread again but I could really do with some help on the answer - has anyone got any knowledge please? Could anyone tell me if there is an expiry date for acrylic powder? I've got quite a few jars of Creative perfect colour and solarnail which I don't use anymore and...

Could anyone tell me if there is an expiry date for acrylic powder? I've got quite a few jars of Creative perfect colour and solarnail which I don't use anymore and thought about selling them VERY cheaply if they're still good to use. Thanks

Hi there A friend of mine never normally has nail enhancements but is going away soon and would like something doing with her nails to make them look pretty. I have recommended the Shellac system but her nails are very weak. I have, in the past, used the Bio Sculpture system and this would...

Hi Guys It's been many years since I've been on this site as I stopped my nail technician work to have my new baby and have since set up a different business supply bouncy castle and soft play hire. However, I have still carried on making use of all my training by doing my own nails and have...

Could anyone help me out on this one please? I had to turn down a potential new client yesterday as I simply don't have the time anymore to fit in a new regular :sad: Anyway, she went to a local shop last night cos she was desperate for nails to be done for Friday. She was charged £35 -...

Hi everyone - just wondered if anyone else has come across a problem I had last year when I went on holiday. I had done Bio Sculpture gel on myself and my 2 friends prior to going away and when we started putting sun tan lotion on we found that after a couple of hours or so it would start going...

Hi Geeks Just wanted to share this with you! I've been using Bio Sculpture gel now for about 2 years and generally most of my clients love it but there is one problem (as I'm sure anyone who has used it has come across) - the white gel discolours fairly quickly, especially on clients who...

I've just added to another entry where someone asked if gels could be used to infill acrylics and I replied that I'd done this on some acrylics of my mum's and it had worked well but just one question please - if I wanted to do the infills with acrylic but then put the gel on top to add as a...

With my ongoing problems with rebalances I've read a tutorial which one of the entries here led me to - bit confused on one section tho - could someone please explain what it means when it states that for the forever french rebalance to keep the permenant french look you only need to...

Hiya everyone - yet another problem in my long line of problems with L&P - still can't seem to get it right :cry: At the Excel exhibition I bought some flawless pink powder to use with my whites and decided to try it out on myself last night instead of the normal pink. Well, soooo glad I...
