These are my clients toes after 3 weeks. The color has FADED~not rubbed off. The faded, almost see-through spots appeared on almost every toe but the big toes were more obvious. I used OPI "Dating a Royal," CND Sticky base coat and Seche Vite top coat. The top coat is still shiny but it's like...

Hi Chicks! I was hoping to get some feedback and ideas from you on ways you wrap off your gels. I use bio sculpture gel and wrap off the gel every time. When I wrap off I use a drop of solar oil first before applying the soak off cotton on the nail plate only then wrap in foil:) What is...

I had a client come in today and tell me that the Happy Nails (discount nail place) she took her daughter to gave her daughter cotton gloves to wear while doing her gel service. She said they had finger holes cut out so they could apply the gel but so her hand wasn't exposed to the UV. The...

What is your opinion on the newest craze, snakeskin gel nails? Techs actually embed real shed snakeskin into gel and then paint over it to accentuate the texture and pattern of the shed skin. There is also a faux version using mimic mesh material which looks almost identical. The service is...

I just saw a lady at the store today who had on a gorgeous color on her nails. She said it was Gelish. She told me the name but I forgot it! I want to order it and i have been looking at the website but none of them look like hers. I know computer images skew colors...It is a dusty dark grey...

Hi~ Forgive me as this is more of a personal use question...I purchased a HFM last summer at a skin care show. I was wondering how often I should use it on myself? Is it safe for everyday use? I bought a personal hand held unit (no box.) I usually use it at a high level after my cleansing...

Where and how do I get Gigi's nail class book?

I use bio sculpture gel and OPI Axxium as well as gelish and shellac. I always soak off each client and use the foil wrap method. Bio sculpture offers a soak off solution and when I looked at the ingredients it was acetone and fragrance yet they charge $55 for a gallon!!! So I use straight...

How do you deal with the discount salons in your area? I am often frustrated at the fact that I train in a product line, i.e. OPI Axxium SOGP, Gelish, shellac and the discount salons just go buy the product with no training and provide a crappy service! I go undercover once in a while and the...
