I just wondered if many of you get much call for this? I have read a few articles on the net recently about guitarists having their nails strengthened for use instead of a plec! I wish I could find one particular article where a guitarist is going in to real detail about how to get the right...

I have a client coming to me on Saturday and the way that she described the her nails were done sounds like they may have been done at an NSS. My question is if it was an NSS and it turns out to be MMA will my files be adequate enough to thin down and prepare for an infill? I don't have an...

I have a colleague who has recently stopped biting her nails. Unfortunately she has replaced this habit by constantly rubbing backwards and forwards on all her nail plates with her thumbs :eek:. While I was away on holiday she asked another technician for advise and was told to use cuticle...

HI, I just wondered how many of you have met the cream of the crop in the nail industry. I am asking because when I went to the NEC, I went to the Creative stand and had one of my nails done. As the lady was doing my nail I noticed her badge which said Anne Swain, well I just turned into a...

My son has just come down with this new virus, thats closing schools down in the Midlands. I can't believe how poorly he looks. He's only 6 and its really hard trying to tell him that he can't eat when he keeps saying he's hungry. I know on the news that they said it was a particularly nasty...

Hi, I have tried to search for the answer to this on the site but have'nt been able to find anything. A few months ago I seen an article in the Scratch Mag where the nails were L&P and a swirl had been created using a pin etched into the almost set acrylic and a different coloured powder was...
