Thanks. You’re right, I’ve experienced this with gel colours in the past (still do with some clients after they’ve been in particularly hot holidays) didn’t think of this to be honest! I’ll call them direct

Thanks. I will do that. I had a similar problem with a gel colour years ago & was a faulty batch.

Has anyone else experienced dip powder nails discolouring ( going patchy, almost marbled look) on their clients? I’ve had it with a couple of clients and seems to happen more on the pastel or light colours after a couple of days wear ‍♀️ I have the cuccio dip powders so wondering if this happens...

I really like the colour pops on the acrylic stands. They look great on my desk. Only problem is they get dusty with all the filing! I got mine from eBay though. So much cheaper than anywhere else. I like your prices on nail art sticks. Never thought of doing that! X

Sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear enough. We only promote fb to our existing clients of the salon. I.e regulars. We can then put a promo on instantly, say if today was 'gappy' we could say 'today only X amount off a certain treatment' we have found it works for us. We would defiantly not say...

I love that idea! Wanted to do something different on mine this week so I'm gonna be a copycat now! :)

Hi, sorry to hear you are quiet. There is nothing worse is there! What do you offer in your salon? Minx, shellac, rockstar? Firstly I wouldn't lower your current prices. Why not offer add ons at a discount. I.e: with every set of nails toes are half price. ( make sure you stipulate that toes are...

Hi, just be wary that you don't get any direct light onto your gels! I say this as someone I know did a similar thing in her summerhouse but it had a skylight, hence. Rock solid gel in pots. Whoopsy. Also, it may get a bit warm in there in summertime (assuming we will get one!) so maybe best not...

I think further training is definitely what you need to build your confidence. I'm sure cnd will teach you how to sculpt. It may be best for you to contact them and tell them what training you would like to do and see which course they would suggest. Keep us updated on the outcome

Hi, I'm a gel tech and don't do l&p so can't comment on the technique you have or haven't been taught but by the sounds of it you are not confident with the training you have done. I do believe that practice is the key to getting it right and this will build your confidence but maybe a...

Hi, not sure if this will help at all but I have rented a desk in a hair salon in the past and now in a beauty salon. I always find a percentage basis has worked best for me rather than a set rent. I have always worked on a 30% rent. I supply all of my own products and the 30% covers reception...

I think I'm in agreement that this will be another fad product but just for my own curiosity I may have to order a bottle! Good points made re clients mistaking it for shellac and then picking their shellac off! I have had to tell off a few clients for this in the past. Interested to see how it...

Exactly what I am thinking. Im intrigued but can see polish popping off left right and centre!

Whilst flicking through salon mag I came across an ad for peel off gel polish! Has anyone used this product yet? If so what are your thoughts on this? I'm sceptical firstly, will it last any time at all? Secondly, will peeling it off damage. The nails? So many questions! :rolleyes:

Hey, I wouldnt be giving yourself such a hard time! For someone who has just started out mobile to do a mani and pedi in 1hr30mins per client is not bad going! I just hope you charged appropriatley and earnt some money out of it. I do pamper parties but only ever do minx or spray tans as...

Hi, Is the nail bed thickening and flakey under the free edge? Sorry cant see pic too well x

Hi Geeks, Well, I have had the worst day ever! Nearly completed my clients seche polish, Just applying top coat, and light unit quite literally BLOWS UP! Sparks, burning smell, puff of smoke the works! My poor client nearly has a heart attack, and to top it off her nails are now no good...

Top tip here gilies, For all those that use flex wrap (as i do) either look on line or in an equestrian tack shop and buy vet wrap. Its 3 x the size of flex wrap rolls and costs about £1.50 a roll. (I have horses this is how i found out about this. Im not just a nutter!) haha Gotta love a...

Please share your tips on how to get minx to last 4 weeks on fingers. I find 10 days my max, to be honest though do more on toes and normally around 8 weeks easy. x:)

Oh gosh, I would worry for you going into a salon of your own with no financial backing hun. I personally would go into an establised salon either 50/50 or see if they will take a percentage of earnings if you supplying your own products, say 30% of your weekly takings?? Worth a try. If you...
