    Hi, Just wondered if anyone has had any problems with their microplane xl pro cartridges? I purchased mine brand new from s2 back end of October ready to take over from my OPI buffer.

    New Gellux mini LED lamp!

    Hey! I am looking to add Gellux to my price list, I already offer CND shellac but would like another option for people who do not want Shellac. I just wondered if the Gellux mini lamp was 5 finger cure? I've researched into the other lamp Gellux do and you have to cure the thumbs separately...

    Shellac Express 5 Topcoat query

    This was the first time I used the top coat, maybe a little bit naive of me to do it on a client first but I didn't even think of testing it out before hand. I read all the reviews and instructions when I first got it. I'm annoyed with myself and so confused as to what's wrong. It was my only...

    Shellac Express 5 Topcoat query

    Sorry, missed that bit on your first post, yes all sticky on both hands, with the old top coat I found it almost squeeked when you rubbed it with d.sperse and then when you put your fingers over it it was nice and smooth and your fingers just glided over it but this was a real drag and a slight...

    Charging to apply clients own strip lashes

    Thank you AcidPerm, excellent advice :) I think I will just charge her the same as I would if I had used my own and then she has the option whether to get me to put them on or not.

    Charging to apply clients own strip lashes

    Hey geeks, I am doing bridal makeup next month and the client has asked me to apply her own false eyelashes that she is purchasing from a local store as mine are apparently too expensive (I stock a selection of brands from MAC to Salon Services and all have different prices to suit different...

    CND Gilded Dreams

    I am disappointed that once again CND have bought out a ''limited edition'' collection and also made it only available as a duo pack. Two of my pet hates!

    Full coverage foundation for brides?

    thank you geeks, I will research some of the ones mentioned. I really like face and body but for this client it just isn't going to cut it, I like that you can build it up but there is only so much you can build a product up x

    How many polishes?

    I would personally invest in a small amount of normal polishes and see how they go down. Have a look at OPI and CND vinylux. When i first started up I just made sure I had a good selection of reds and pinks, and then maybe a blue, purple and a colour for french. Good luck!
