    Hi geeks I had a client in today that I usually do finger nails. She wanted toes doing as well but I didn't have time. This was lucky as when she showed me her toesi was quite shocked and probably wouldn't have been able to treat her anyway. Basically her big toes only grow half way up the...

    Backfill Acrylic with gel?

    Would you do it? I've been asked by a friend and my gut instinct is saying no. Is this classed as mixing systems despite the fact the acrylic is cured? Also it will look awful, I can't even guarantee to have the same colour match as the acrylic used. Just wanted to see what you geeks would...
