    Gigi Rouse

    Hi guys ... long time since I was last here. @Sweatpea I’m sorry that I don’t have such a thing as a catalogue of my work. All my work was photographed for magazines and posters and promotions, STEP BY STEPS etc, for the business. I guess Samantha Sweet has them all archived somewhere in...

    Pro Tip Clips

    If you are having a lack of success then you must be doing something wrong ... Seriously. I make sure that the free edge is not only covered, but that the pad wraps over the free edge and that the clip is positioned properly so as not to move it off the free edge. Never had a problem with...

    IBX treatment & Minx lamp

    You can use your MINX lamp for sure, but as said ... Not too hot. Just warm ... which is easy to adjust with the Minx lamp. I have always used it. :)

    Self employed nail tech?

    I think it is both important and fair to be realistic realistic. A nail technician needs a space ... About 8 feet square. I myself would want to pay a straight rent, provide my own products and to choose the type of desk at which I am comfortable to work. I would not work anywhere that I...

    Do you think its better to grow one salon bigger or open a second?

    Having had 5 nail salons I can tell you categorically that it is far better to expand in your existing location than it is have a 2nd or third location. Better cost-wise better profit-wise better control-wise better in all ways life-wise. They don't say small is beautiful for nothing...

    How to maintain acrylics while using bleach water?

    Some might say so but if the client cares for her nails then either system should last well.

    Star Pro Duolite?

    The only way forward is to use the UV lamp that is recommended by the manufacturer of the gel you have bought.

    Drama with extensions

    I would just say, we don't offer that service because it won't last. Or, yes I can do that service, but they won't last.

    Taboo against men having long, polished nails?

    A few years ago we did a survey in Las Vegas. We invited women from the public who all wore bright nails and nail art, to join us and take part. We got over. 75 in the room if I recall ... They ere each asked why they wore the nail art and almost unanimously they said they wore it...

    Taboo against men having long, polished nails?

    Those are not quite so cringe worthy to me. X. :green: I actually cringe at nails with excessive length on most anyone, male or female. I can't help but think (because I know) of the microbes lurking beneath. When people do things that attract attention to themselves I believe that...

    Taboo against men having long, polished nails?

    I don't like the look of talons on a man. He could be the most secure masculine man in the world and I would cringe! It would tell me more about his character than whether or not he was a masculine man! :)

    How to maintain acrylics while using bleach water?

    Regular use of Solar Oil and Cuticle Eraser and one of CND's hydrating lotions. If they're going to take moisture out, they've got to put it back in! Makes sense no? I'm sure she uses some sort of hand cream to put moisture back into her skin. She has to do the same with her nails.

    Best product for weak, thin, peeling nails

    I would recommend IBX followed by the smoothing gel. IBX is formulated for use prior to wearing gel or UV cured polishes etc.

    LED lamps

    I can't recommend an un branded UV lamp, because as I said, lamps are made to specifically go with the brand ... All brands cure at different distances and with different bulbs ... So there is no lamp that fully can be guaranteed to cure all brands ... Uncured gel causes allergies. Do you want...

    Best product for weak, thin, peeling nails

    Sorry, Bob ... Not often I need to add to what you have to say, but although it may not be possible to make the natural nail naturally thicker, but it certainly is possible with IBX, to add a stronger infrastructure to the natural nail giving it more strength, flexibility and durability...
