    Have you ever had a set of nails you can't do acrylic on?

    Hi I have a client with the weirdest shape nails ive ever come across. Some of her nails are dead flat but the sidewalls are dead straight like boxes. Some others have such deep side walls but again are straight. You really can't get nail tips to fit them because where they are sooo flat...

    Anyone else becoming frustrated with CND?

    Spoon nails & gel polish

    Hi Firstly don't get disheartened. My daughter has spoon shaped nails or ski jump as I like to call them and she wears gel polish just fine. Acrylics however are a different thing altogether. A little bit of advice. 1. Make sure your prep is perfect. No cuticle left and nails fully...

    CND Shellac base and top coat?

    Exactly and why not try to recreate the colour using the many additives and glitters made by CND. I love shellac and all it stands for the nail art choices are better with shellac than any other brand I know. My only gripe is that they haven't yet sorted out an LED lamp to speed things up...

    Anyone else becoming frustrated with CND?

    Yep you are so right. I bought the dashing diva light pod for my IBX a which is awesome and even at 45 secs per cure it is just so much faster. I love CND but it's about time perhaps they caught up a bit. It seems that they fore fronted everything but in the lamp market now they are a bit...

    CND Shellac base and top coat?

    I think what keeps us a cut above as professionals is training properly, working properly and doing things by the book to ensure safety to our clients. Why put yourself at risk. I'm not having a dig here but I read time and time again about poor girls who for no fault of their own have...

    Anyone else becoming frustrated with CND?

    I must agree I feel the same about the lamp. We were all led to believe an LED lamp was coming to cure shellac last year but up til now the whole thing seems to have disappeared. I know lots of people says it takes them two minutes to paint the colour coat but the second colour coat, top...

    Acrylic struggle

    Shame I'm from Essex if you had been closer I would have tried to maybe help you by getting together. But on a bonus side I use NSI. Ok firstly use small beads even if you use more than three it's better than doing big beads and getting it on the skin. Secondly definitely get the NSI...

    Acrylic struggle

    Pure's advice is spot on. I would also practise on your own nails it can give you an insight into how hard to press the acrylic down. You need the acrylic pushed firmly onto the nail. If the acrylic is drying too quick then I think you might actually be working too dry. My teacher Liza...
