I use Young Nails acrylics and I love it! Thanks for the compliment! ;o) Leigh Ann

If you are anything like me, you are a perfectionist and really give yourself a hard time for not making everyone have competition looking nails! Not saying that I even remotely accomplish this on a daily basis, but hey a GIRL can have dreams right? I LOVE IT (NOT) when all 10 of a client's...

So, the point is, the 2nd tech is being hired to fill in for the 1st nail tech who will not work f/t. So, the 2nd nail tech has to share her space, does not have a designated space and there are no other stations available. So, they rotate schedules and share the same space. So, you still think...

Here is a situation I would appreciate everyone's help: You have 4 nail tech's already in your salon. All have a designated space and pay same amount of rent. But one of the nail tech's chooses to work part time. So, you would like to hire another nail tech to fill the other times when she is...

Just thought I'd follow up and send a pic over of the full set of marble french tips. My smiles are a little wonky, new word? as I was trying to refine the smile line on the white tips, which I am new at also! ENJOY! You all should try this and send me pics when you do!

i thought it was a clever idea myself.....every now and then i "pull one out", LOL! just to clear one thing up, i normally don't place the tip so far down on the nail bed, it was just practice to see if i could actually get it to glue down, and i left it longer just so you could get the idea of...

Here is a new idea I came up with....I don't think I read this one anywhere.......LOL! ut here ya go! Let me know what you think! I took a white half well tip, marbelized it, set it out to dry, top coated it, then took it and glued it to the nail, then put clear acrylic over the tip as normal...

Like I am soooooooooooooooooo not smart...... I think I failed every one of them.......I know more about you , GEEK, than about nails.......pretty sad. I don't like being timed! :rolleyes: I was trying to relax and all and like eat my baked potato in peace and well....I suck!........but I...

I think it depend on the age range of your clients. Younger people tend to want this type of design. Older people may choose this design for spacial occasions only. Or just those clients with a wild side! But you do not need to purchase a kit. All you need is a plastic cup, regualr nail polish...

Hey Julie Believe me I am still a newbie too! I would recommend visiting transdesign.com and look under nail art for marbelizing techniques, they explain with pictures the process. I differed slightly from their process only in the fact that I did a swirled random pattern instead of specific...

I used OPI All Rose Lead to Rome and & Belize it or Not, belive it or not,,,,,lol.......ok I know that was lame. Leigh Ann

Well, it took 1 HOUR start to finish! I had never done it before and we encountered problems. But, hey the finished product is all that counts, right? LOL! :P

Ok, here is a pic of my 1st attempt at marbelizing nails using the water method and two different shades of OPI Lacquer. What do you think?

I guess that would have been when I was an embryo LOL! .....because I have always done nails, since out of high school. I did do other things along with doing nails, such as I worked for a distributor of beauty supplies in Atlanta, Ga, then I was in medical sales, then went back to nails full...

Hello, It has always been my experience that the weaker the natural nail the more it will pull away from the enhancement. Once we cover the natural nail it also starts to produce more moisture than normal. This makes it even more flimsy. It just sort of flaps around underneath there and it...

It was really weird I know but the light reflecting from your index finger in the original picture sort of looked like a cat or dogs face so I made some nail art on your index finger.......do you like him? LOL! Leigh Ann

I am truly bothered by Tom leaving Young Nails. I was drawn to YN by Tom's truth and honesty as a person. He is never arrogant or condesending to me as a (less talented than him) nail tech! All I can say is I have gained a lot of knowledge from him.....Bummer...... I think he had his hand in...

I totally agree! I recently tried Le Chat gelle powder system and well.......I can't seem to get it down pat. i was doing it on a client over existing acrylic. Well, needless to sat it was a disaster. Just when I tried to finally make it all right with the top sealer I realized the UV light was...

Ok so I have been thinking.....//////big mistake! LOL! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who agreed with me and geeg and the others from the pink & white thread from a few days ago. I wanted to encourage everyone to do pink & whites no matter what the "experts" have to say. It is easy...

If someone has a very straight smile line then I would curve it in the corners a bit to make them look happier! You don't ever want the smile lines to frown. But I tend to try and follow the natural shape of the client's nails and at the hyponichium so that it comes out looking very natural. But...
