Hey Geeks, Can I get Gigi's book in the US? How much is it with shipping ? Or is there a place in US I should buy it from. Creative(did not see it on website) Thanks, Holly

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm working with Custom Blended Manicure I've done it on a few clients. Looks great. Now I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. Does anyone know the steps for this? I guess specifically at every fill do you replace clear acrylic at cuticle area before putting on colored acrylic? Also after buffing...

I've put acrylic art over polish and had no problems. So go right ahead. :smack: Holly

I am having problems with 2 clients. Thier enhancements, wether I use Gels(Brisa) or Acrylic(Creative) will not stay at free edge. Both clients are very careful with nails, gloves ,solar oil, regular appointments etc. I don't know what to do. It seems that as soon as free edge grows out...

Celery.Plain old celery helped me with Heartburn from Hell when I had my first baby. Try it. Good Luck Holly

When doing full sets or rebalance do you have to cure each layer for the full 2 minutes? It's taking me a long a time for both. But they do look awesome and everyone is having great results!! Thanks jora

I took Brisa Master class in Ohio. Great class. We learned soo much. You get gel kit and light which is included in price of class. $199.00 at least in Ohio. Good luck Holly

Thanks Geeg, I knew I could count on you for the answer. I have problem client on Monday and she'll be happy. She was worried that Brisa was not for her. She takes great care of her nails but is a jewelry sales person and needs her nails to look nice. thanks Holly

just wondering what I may be doing wrong? Thanks Holly

I just had a great class on Retail/Home care products and I need to know - where is the best place to find features and benefits of creative products? I'm starting with Solar Oil and Cucumber Heel Therapy. Great Class!!! Holly :lol:

Thanks for the suggestions, all seem good. Let's see what tommorow brings and I'll let you know! Thanks Holly

I am having problems with a few acrylic clients. There extensions seem to be falling apart. I've not had problems like this. And it's on more than one client. I'm worried I've done something wrong. I live in Ohio and it has been very cold for weeks. Do I need to have clients soak off extensions...

I've been having some problems with my l/p clients. So, I've read the prep tutorial, maybe I've been a bit "hard" or "vigorous" on my people, I would like to change my ways. What now? Do I soak off and start over, being gentle of course? I'm perplexed. Also do you have clients soak off every...

Hi everyone! I need a little help please. I am interested in having someone mentor me as a nail tech. I am wondering what questions should I ask, in my letter to see if person would be willing and if it would be a good fit? I've been doing nails for 5 years and have learned alot especially...

What is the best way to practice your p/w's. I have one client that I do p/w on but I would like to practice them every day. Any ideas, using tips? I know this may seem silly but I just don't want to be wasting time. Thanks in advance. Holly ;)

We do have liscensing laws which is good. Although alot of the schools are inadequate. In my experience, our instructor had no salon experience, was not professional, etc. I know that all teachers are not like that and I have met alot of great nail techs who are willing to share info to help new...
