I think I've reached my limit with this issue. So I've had this lady come to me for over a year now for her usual ibx + gelish. At first, there was no issues, and her gel polish manicure was finally lasting longer than a week. But these past several months, I've noticed everything I put on her...

It's been a tough week; one of those weeks where I wonder why I even bother with this crazy dream of mine. Why bother going through this crazy unstable pay? Why bother putting in so much effort to attract what seems like a bunch of ungrateful, thankless people who only want cheap and cheery? Why...

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but it is sort of nail-related. Mods, please move to appropriate place if you feel it's not nail-related. So if anyone's been on instagram or pinterest, there's these really neat little logo placemats people use instead of watermarks on pictures of...

I started a similar thread last year whilst feeling homesick that I was missing out on Thanksgiving dinner with my family. But I loved that thread and I want to do it again this year. I know we're weeks away, but I'm already planning what to cook and putting together my shopping list and guest...

I just wanted to share a little something I found from reddit awhile back. We often use our camera phones to snap a quick picture of our swatches and nails, but sometimes, the glitz, glimmers, and sparkles aren't captured the way we want. So, a lense from a cheap laser pointer over the phone's...

I just wanted to share this video I saw. It starts off so sweet, and ends with me wanting to give this guy a big hug. I really feel for him. http://www.upworthy.com/the-most-honest-and-heartbreaking-reason-to-leave-your-front-door-unlocked-ive-ever-heard-10

It's taken me a few drafts to try to word this as non-offensive as possible. By posting this, my intent is not to anger, offend, or insult anyone. My intent is to remind everyone that this is a professional forum full of professionals (and professionals-in training), and as professionals we...

I'm studying and doing my case studies for my NVQ 2 in beauty therapy. I have a few questions about the facial procedures, and I'm hoping some of you lovely geeks can help me out. During the training days, the tutor applied and worked in the face scrub in the same manner as the cleanser-...

Yesterday afternoon, I picked up a call (yes... picked up. They rang me. I didn't ring them) from a "broadband technician" who was going to help me with my recent connectivity issue. She had a very heavy Asian accent. She said her name was Karen Roberts. She spoke very fast, making it almost...

I'll admit I'm a big baby when it comes to the dentist, so I've been putting off paying mine a visit for the past few months for a little discomfort due to my wisdom tooth coming in (plus when I last went for an x-ray, they told me was fine, not impacted). Within those past few months, I felt...

When I visited Japan back in '09, the first thing I noticed when I went out in public was face masks. Everywhere I looked, there was guaranteed to be someone in a face mask. Now... I read a lot of manga, and watch a good amount of anime, and was well aware that Japanese people wear face masks in...

I've got a friend who still has her engagement ring from a previous relationship, even though she's been married for like 5 years now. And my other friend, his wife still has a ring given to her by her ex, and she was raging when he asked her to sell it because money was going to be tight for...

It's past midnight here now, and if I were back home, I'd be one of them crazy people that are just heading out for Black Friday deals. :lol: But anyway. It's still Thanksgiving in the US so this thread isn't completely too late. Since we've got a nice little geek family here, lets pretend we're...

M'kay. So normally I consider myself pretty wise when it comes to products and the methods NSS use to apply to nails considering I used to work for one. But I was totally baffled at work trying to figure out what the heck was on my client's nails. Initial inspection- It was just a regular...

Not sure if anyone else does this, but every Monday at Starbucks, they have these little cards by the pick-up area from apple called "pick of the week"... I always grab them as some of them do look interesting. It's pretty much a card with a code to redeem an app for free. They give out random...

So I logged into my FB today, and found after months of resistance on my part, they've switched my profile to the timeline format. UGH! Is it just me, or does anyone else think it's totally uckin fugly?? I wish they would just stop messing with things that have no issues like the profile and...

I'm sure there's a few kindle users out there. A friend forwarded a site to me, and I thought there might be a few avid readers who'd be interest. :) There's a site called pixelofink.com. They compile a list of free books daily that are listed on amazon. Some are only free for that day. They've...

The shop employee down my street approached me today whilst I was picking up a few things to show me her nails and asked if there's anything I can do to help her. She had an enhancement on (unable to tell me which), and has confessed to being a picker. She said that if she sees lifting she will...

How does Michelle Visage... or anyone who ever got these, function with these? :eek: I'm paricularly thinking about bathroom duties. EEK!
