As some of you may know from previous posts I am looking at changing my system Thanks to everyones advice I had almost decided on Gelish. This is available at Sallys and although more expensive than some systems, I know that clients will recognise the name and the fact it cures with a LED...

I am wondering how long gel nails should last on enhancements. Mine last about a week when I do them but I am terrible for picking at them and using them as tools (it is my right hand which I use most which start to come off first). The gel at the bottom stays on my fingers though so I think it...

I am looking for peoples opinions on bluesky / red carpet. I have used bluesky on myself (as my mum has it for her personal use and loves it and so does her friend), it lasted well on myself and I am terrible with my nails I am hoping to change to an LED lamp

I trained in gel nails a couple of years ago with le chat. I have had the same products for that time. I have done many sets of nails and I don't rate the product. I have beaten myself up so much over this and thought it was me. However I have recently used bluesky products (only for personal)...

Just wondering if anyone can answer this for me? I did my 1st ever set of infills last night and they looked better than original set as girl is a terrible nail picker and wanted white tips, so now they've grown out a little look so much better. I charge £20 for gels with tips and normally will...

Ok, i have never been a fan of polish til now!! My aunty very kindly gave me around 20 Nails Inc polishes, lucky me. They were all either new or used only once, she bought a load as she is obsessed with polishes, but decided after trying a cpl she didnt like them and reverted to OPI which she...

I dont know if ive got this right, but can fibreglass resin be used instead of ur usual adhesive for nail tips (gels) and is this stronger than nail adhesive / glue? I have it in my head that i have read this on one of the threads but have looked about and kind find it anywhere...
