Hi I have got a lady in a couple of weeks for a vinylux mani who suffers from horizontal splits in her nail. However unfortunately she had a bad experience with shellac (wrong technique and severe buffing) and despite me explaining things to her won't go near any gel/shellac. So usually I would...

I'm CND trained and I know my eponychium from my cuticle. However I now work for a salon and they appear to trim the eponychium. I have shown them my currette and said I don't generally don't need cuticle nippers but the owner said she thinks the currette won't work on toes where the 'cuticle'...

Hi all Any tips on keeping gel bond tubes good? I seem to ruin mine really quickly so that they block up in the nozzle. I used a needle to unblock last time but it didn't work after a few goes. I try to clean them quickly after use but I am still ruining them. It's fab stuff so I really...

I have just been asked if I can help someone who is massively into fitness and training for a marathon. Her toes keep snapping off half way due to the stress. Reading threads I believe you could extend with gel but I feel in my gut the pressure would take off the rest of the nail too :eek...

Hi I bought some crystal nail gems today as I want to be able to pop a nice line near the eponyichium/base on client's big toes (it looks lovely and everyone around here seems to do it). I was just wondering at what point to pop them on with shellac? Do I put them on before curing on...

Hi I'm confused about the 'no blending' aspect of these tips. I'm still blending on the nail to get rid of any ghost shadowing - was that wrong. Can I just apply it in a neat smile line and go on with product even though there is a tiny lip. As I am new to using these I still took out the...

Hi Does anyone know where I can get these in stock? Sweet Squared have been out of stock for a while now and I want some of these pronto. I have searched the other stockist with no joy so far. It is particularly the toe ones I want. Also is it wrong to use the Easysoak on Shellac? How...
