    Shellac

    I am sure you have found CND does not recommend it. I have tried to sandwich regular polish between Shellac back and top coat with no success. I thought if I let the polish dry for several hours it would work. However, it chipped very quickly and was not worth the time it took to put it on.

    Matte black polish?

    I have done this look with Shellac and it is very nice. However, you can also do it with Essie's matte top coat. It really works well.

    Mobile Pedicure Set-up

    Dolly- That looks wonderful! Is it sturdy enough for someone who gets fidgety or can't sit still? Also, it looks like someone could put their foot flat to polish. Does it work like that? Malea

    Mobile Pedicure Set-up

    Bio sculpture and client reaction

    This sounds like contact dermatitis. I was a Bio Sculpture tech and had the same issues in wearing the product. (I am also allergic to acrylic) My symptoms were specifically itching/burning around and underneath my nails, water blisters and my nail plate began lifting from the bed. You will...

    Bio Sculpture

    Bio Sculpture can also be applied with a clear scupting gel and not just color. This might be why you are seeing the thickness. The tech applying it was trying to create an arch rather than just applying color. Once the arch is created you are able to then apply the color layers. This also...
