    Gelez any problems?

    Have you got the new 'grip' base coat or the original base coat? If original, get a grip one which will make all the difference. Still apply thinly, working base coat into natural nail, cure for one min then almost mix your first coat of colour into the base coat. Hopefully you'll see some major...

    Tips

    You will always need to blend natural tips whether they have a well or not. I tend to cut-out or file out most of the well on tips anyway. The less tip and more product on the nail the better.

    U smile lines or V-ish lines?

    If you create a more v shape smile line the end result looks better. If you do a u shape, once the product has been moulded or pinched the smile almost disappears and you're left with an almost straight line as all you can see is the bottom of the u and the slight incline at each sidewall. If...

    just qualified have i been shown the correct way? please help

    It really depends on who you do your training with as to your prep procedure. Some teach dry prep, others use a cuticle removing product. I push back the eponichium, remove the non living tissue from the nail plate then lightly remove the shine from the nail using a soft file.

    I'm with Mrs RSM. I take % but provide absolutely everything. All they have to do is come in to work! The busier they are, the more money we both make.

    Tool Roll

    I'm looking for a tool roll (a bit like a hairdressers belt but not with a belt bit!?!). Can anyone recommend where to get one? I don't want one which just has elastic to hold the tools in, ich I want one whis enclosed at the bottom (if that makes sense?) Thanks geeks!

    Top coat "spiking"

    I don't think its heat spike that is being decribed here. If its what I think you will be getting sharp 'sticky up' spikes after top coat is cured? This can happen if the top coat is applied too thickly as the particles leap to the surface to be cured and as they do they cure in mid air...

    Trendy Nails Unlimited Nail wraps

    I'm hoping to add an independant opinion as I do not use either of these products! I think Minx have created a massive buzz with HUGE celebrities such as Beyonce and Fergie endorsing the product. A lot of people will have heard the name Minx and therefore want to ask for it in salons. I'm not...
