The weather also affects your mix ratio. In the heat you will find your monomer evaporates quicker, making your ratio dryer. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

It could possibly be the glitter. Some lesser quality glitters bleed their colour when mixed with L&P. Or it could be that your ratio is too dry? You need to work slightly wetter with glitter. Have you tried using the same method but with a different glitter? I tend to pre mix my glitter with...

If all lifting is removed it is fine to re-build the nail. I never do removal and new set with gel. I always start building my nails with clear or pink gel; then add the glitter or French. That way if the client wants a change I only have to file away the top layers. Hth Sent from my SK17i...

I can't remember where I read it or saw it but I'm sure the paint should be the consistency of single cream; when using the nail art pen. To me the paint you're using looks a little thick. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Sorry for the delay in my reply. Its Gumdrop from Orly. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

I always find instagram a good source of inspiration; along with google image search. I'd stick with the red, white and black colour theme. And work with polka dots and bows. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Thank you for the lovely compliments guys, you're making me blush! As I'm in the process of changing polish brands I actually mixed these colour myself with my old attitude colours and my orly white. The spots are acrylic paint. Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk 2

From my understanding; it's your bodies way of trying to help support the additional length on your nails after prolonged enhancement wear. I may be wrong though. Its actually something I have on a few of my nails. Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk 2

Looking closely at you photo it does look like you are lacking structure in the enhancement. This would cause problems with breakages. I would recommend you reinforce the stress area more to give you more strength and a more pleasing shape to your enhancement. I haven't used the pearl tips, so...

I got them when I was at professional beauty north. I particularly like the rose colour. Can't say I'm in love with the others and I'm unlikely to use them in the future. They sell the trail packs if you want to try them all at a small cost. Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk 2

It's great that you have found a company that is right for you, but believe it or not there is also other quality courses available from other companies too. I am serious about nails and serious about my business but I didn't choose CND. It's not the only route into this industry, and it's not...

It'll last a lot better than just a couple of days! I would expect only to see the wear I mentioned after a couple of weeks, unless she's planning on shifting gravel, doing landscaping or typing a novel after her wedding! ;-) The other benefits of using polish on this occasion is that you most...

More expensive tips are generally made of virgin abs plastic. A cheaper tip is made of the re-melted off-cuts. This tends to add slight impurities, it also looses its flexibility in the process. Cheaper tips tend to be thicker, so add unnecessary bulk to the enhancement. More expensive tips...

You'll find that traditional polish will last well over enhancements. It doesn't tend to chip, it tends to wear/fade at the edge of the tip. So your client should be fine if you are doing her nails just before her wedding day. You can get gel topcoats that work over polish, but with high...

I would also recommend paying the nail angel website a visit. They have a wealth of great videos and tutorials. Whilst I understand courses aren't cheap. But maybe you might be better holding off spending money on gels until you can afford the course. As you'll be picking up bad habits at the...

I would highly recommend you get some training to refresh your knowledge. Whilst everyone has to start somewhere it's not advisable to "experiment" on clients. You could unknowingly give them allergic reactions from overexposure. Also it may put off potential clients if you develop a reputation...

With only one layer of gel I doubt there'll be any structure to the nail. So there'll be no strength. What training have you done? You seem to be using a right mix of products and equipment. Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk 2

Is this a problem that has just started to occur? Or is it a problem you've always had with these products? If it has just started, it might be that your bulbs need changing? The gel might not be fully curing. If you have always had this problem with this gel, then I would look at your...
