    Checking out the competition in Shellac

    Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention Gigi... obviously we recommend the wraps to clients, but due to a small hickup with stock we had to advise soaking with double dippers for about 3 minutes until we got the wraps in stock... this was a temporary measure and we did explain that the...

    Skin Geek with Shellac questions

    Yes Marion you are right some basecoat was recalled in June and everyone got replacements.Thank fully they resolved that issue quickly. You dont actually have to buff Brisa off if you are using it as a base for Shellac.

    Salon opened almost using my name in same street!

    I had the same thing happen years ago-i couldnt do anything but I used to get all their bills! And i am such a bitch i used to rip them up- the only satisfaction i got was hoping they would be cut off etc! Let your local Post Office know to direct your post to you.Iknow it was not nice,but...

    Skin Geek with Shellac questions

    Acetone in a double dipper -3-5 mins will take Shellac off fine if you dont have Shellac wraps-do not buff- you will thin the natural nail and you dont want that. If Shellac has been on the nails 3+ weeks it will take a couple of mins more to get the basecoat off too.

    What do I use to wipe the DL from Shellac?

    As others have said isopropyl alcohol is the correct wipe to give the best shine- if you have none- cool blue gives a good shine- if you have none vodka/gin/bacardi will do.

    Can you use shellac without base coat?

    You can use clear gel as a base,but of course it wont remove the same,but fine for emergencies. I did not know that you can use Brisa Uv gloss as a base.Can you? Or did the poster mean with Brisa Gel nails? I did not know either that you can use a Shellac color as a base.Can you? I would...

    How Shellac compares to soak off gels

    Gosh Martin i usually enjoy your posts,but at the moment i dont like them. Shellac is the word on everyones lips,call it marketing,call it good product,but its true-Shellac Shellac Shellac is all everyone is buzzing about. No doubt other products are later to market,and they will do great too...

    Shellac - What colours would you like?

    I used to hate Cocoa- Samantha told me it would be huge- as if! Ha Ha - losers! Miserable colour. Now to my shame and embarrassment,it is one of my mostest favourites and our customers. I would love to see this shade in the new colours- and Hotski!

    Strange Polish (technique) request

    Yes i do- at one time and back in fashion again, the look was to leave the lunula,half moon area clear of polish.Half moons are not so visible anymore except perhaps on thumbs! The fashion then evolved to the reverse- leave the free edge clear of polish! To do this use a veneer on the free...

    Rethinking business name

    Miss Divine Beauty sounds like a gay/transvestite place to me.Sorry no offence intended. Coral Beauty is very boring imo. Pick a name that says something urban,or local,or personal. Golddigga your name on here ,sounds good and unique imo. Funny and different.

    How have people managed to get lamps for Shellac? Thought they were out of stock!

    It depends on what country they are posting from.

    Have a look at this pic... what do you think?

    I agree she does look a little bit orange.With a black top as someone else has said it would look good. What would the tan turn out like on paler skin types?

    As a newbie...

    Ah girls would you get a grip? Newbies are people new to the industry, looking for help and advice,and they get it here in shedloads. Most are on good enough courses and classes and they are requesting help from people who perhaps took the same. And then they move on and are not newbies any more...

    Can someone please help??

    No excuse- but they are up to their eyeballs in calls ,requests etc.They will get back to you. In the meantime i can only say in my opinion that if you are qualified as a nail tech,or a beauty therapist,you should have no problem with purchasing Shellac. Keep trying with the calls- today it was...
