    Nail Biter

    I was a very bad nail biter turned picker and my nails were completely trashed, I even picked off l&p, gels. However I read here that if somebody had broke a nail, they applied a tip, so I just started applying tips, (very short) and shellaced over the top of them. Now some months on I have...

    Foot In Mouth Experiences!

    The title says it all really. Last night I was hosting karaoke, I went up to a couple, who looked like they may want to join in but were shy, so I said "Would either of you like to sing? I can guarantee I will have something that you could do!" The lady mouthed back, to me, using sign...

    Shellac or gelac

    I have tried both. To me Shellac far outshines Gelac (excuse the pun), for it's durability, brilliant shine, ease of application and no buffing of the nail. Having said this you will have to buy the CND lamp. Do not look at it as an expensive outlay (it really is very reasonably priced) look...

    Pedicure with gel?

    With Shellac, if a client would like a SpaPedicure at the same time, I offer them the reverse pedicure. Do all the usual pep on the toes, apply Shellac, then the SpaPedicure, works perfectly everytime:biggrin:

    Gel 'pooling' at sides before curing.

    I used to have that problem with self levelling gel. So I went down what I believe to be a better route, I converted to Brisa Gel by CND. It is not self levelling, it sits exactly where you put it. Also it has low photoinitiators, so you don't get that nasty heat spike:Scared:. However I...

    Buffing Cream?

    I went to a client to Minx her toes. I have never had a problem with Minx, however on this lady even though there was nail on the little toe, the Minx did not want to adhere to the nail plate. I had done all my normal prep, getting rid of cuticle, scrubfresh. Eventually it stuck and I left...

    Disheartened with acrylics popping off!! hlp please!!

    Another thing to remember nail biters often turn into pickers. It could well be that she is picking them off, check her nail plate for signs of damage. Somebody once told me their nails were just "popping off" knocked my confidence for six, I kept reapplying them, thinking I was rubbish at...

    What's your favourite cake?

    For me it has to be Cadbury's SnowFlake cakes. They only do them at Christmas and they are lush. I can guarantee when I go home at Christmas, that my son will have gone to the shops and bought a couple of boxes in just for me:biggrin:

    Nails Inc selling nail wraps to the public!!!

    I agree with Gigi, after all there are so many products out there already, that people can try for themselves, and fall flat at the first hurdle. However I did have a look at their website to see what they were like, and tbh, they look dreadful :lol:

    Has anyone worked for massage beach?

    Hi there, just thought I would add something. Rentals in Marbella/Puerto Banus are very high, so 350€ seems about right. To work here self employed you would need to get your NIE number (to allow you to work legally) being self employed you would have to pay your social security which I think...

    Gel peeled off after 24hours

    Something else to consider is that nail biters often turn into nail pickers and it is quite likely that once she knocked one off, she then picked the rest off. You will be able to tell when you see her whether this is the case or not. Hth:)

    Acrylic nail kit list

    Hi there, it is great that you are so enthusiastic and I can understand that you are wanting to get started, but I would advise you to wait until you get your college kit. The reasoning behind is this is that if you were to source your l&p kit from somewhere, before you have had any training...
