    OPI Gel Polish not soaking off

    With OPI gelcolor the base coat is the part of the system that soaks off, the colour and top coat are pure gel. That's why after soaking for 10 - 15 mins it almost curls off the nail plate in one lovely big piece! Buffing through the top coat really isn't needed. Did you use the full system? xx

    New OPI Gelcolor colours

    I bought my favourite 6 to start with and the ones I thought most summery and different to the ones I already have. I will probably order the other 6 next time. Here is a pic:

    Removal of Twinkle Toes

    Hi I haven't noticed any difference in time when I remove Rockstar nails only a difference, in the way it comes off. Rather than curling off in one big piece it sort of crumbles and goes soft and I very gently scrape it away. I also use OPI Gelcolor. I have noticed a difference in ease of...

    Do you pay into your business when using products on yourself?

    If you record it at all I would put it down as advertising. Apart from loving having my nails look good one of the main reasons I do them is advertising my products and services. Advertising is a cost to the business and tax deductible so works in your favour! xx

    OPI Gelcolor - cheaper price at Lena White?

    Ordered 6 of my fave colours today out of the 12 new ones available. They are not on the website yet for some reason and won't be available at Capital or Sally's for a while. Although slightly reduced price is on at Capital and Sally's for the original 30 colours. Sadly not vat free though on...

    Swarovski crystal pedicures

    Hi How do NSI instruct you to apply the crystals? I am having troubles perfecting my crystal pedicure too, but if we knew how they tell you to apply some other geeks might be able to help. Also have you tried contacting NSI? xx

    Swarovski pedi!!

    Wow they look great! I am currently driving myself mad with trying to perfect a crystal pedicure at the moment. If I use gelcolor and put them in uncured topcoat, they dont last unless you put topcoat over which definately dulls the crystals. I have tried gelbond, but that seems to make lots...

    Nail varnish slid off the nail, what the heck?

    Hi Have you used Lumos top coat before or is this the first time? You have to load your brush and just float the top coat over the colour using as little strokes as possible. Hth Xx

    Rockstar - two issues!!

    Hi Chelle, I find if u scrub the glitter into the nail or press it too hard it creates a foil looking effect. Fine if that's what u like but i prefer a sparkle! I tried a few different methods on my own hand with gelcolor to see which was the best way. I don't think the inhibition layer in...

    How to use Gelbond?

    I have also heard of using Gelbond to apply crystals but have never tried it. I have tried with Shellac, Gelish and Gelcolor but none are strong enough without top coat, I don't like to use top coat as I don't care what anyone says it dulls the crystals down hugely when applied over them. I am...

    As you remove the brush from the bottle u scrape the excess off the front, back and sides of the stalk. I have never had any dripping problems. xx

    Gelcolor consistency

    Hi You really have to shake the bottles a lot to get a good colour consistency, I think this is where your problem is. I am loving gelcolor as are lots of people so you haven't wasted your money. xx
