    What more can I do for my client's nails?

    I'm a bit stumped on where to go with one of my clients. She has been coming to me for the past 5/6 months for Shellac and Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel. Her nail condition isn't great, nails are ridged, dry and weak. First few times of wearing shellac and brisa lite, her nails lasted not too bad...

    What might be happening here?

    Hi all I have a regular client who has some white marks appearing on several of her nails and is slightly concerning me as to what is going on. When she first ever came to me, she had some of these marks on just her pinky and ring finger nails. She used to go elsewhere for shellac before...

    The Daily Fail strikes again - UV lamps as bad as sunbeds

    My mum and 2 clients have drawn my attention to this today. This is now the 3rd report they have done regarding Shellac and the "damage" it can cause in one way or another. Very frustrating :rolleyes...

    Promoting business - what do you think of my idea?

    Have just been updating my website and was thinking about how to promote myself more. I have done pretty much everything on Lynne's amazing thread but I need to drum up more business and am not in a position to do any paid advertising at the moment. I then got to thinking about local...

    Minx applications

    I have done a few searches and my answer still hasn't come up so wondered if you lovely geeks can tell me :) When applying Minx I always do it as I was trained, i.e. applying with heat, smoothing down with finger or minx hoof, folding excess over, allowing to cool and then filing off excess for...

    Heat sensitivity from CND lamp

    Good morning Geeks, I have a friend whose nails I've been doing with Shellac for the past year and a half. She has amazing nails, so easy to do, hardly ever any cuticle build up, no nail issues at all, a real pleasure to do. However the past few times we have done them, she is getting heat...

    Heston Blumenthal - Food Genius!

    As my friend said, he's the modern day Willy Wonka. Don't know if anyone saw him on This Morning today but he created the most amazing things once again. One being an edible billiards table where he sprayed watercress over the top of a fish and tartare mousse. It looked EXACTLY like the cloth in...

    What could be the explanation to this condition?

    Hi Geeks I'm hoping you may be able to help me fathom out what is happening with a clients nails. This could be a long one so apologies in advance. She first came to me in May having been an L&P wearer, wanted to try Shellac as her nails had been damaged from the L&P nails and she wanted to...

    A bleeding toe problem

    And I mean in an actual bleeding toe problem, not bleeding in a blasphemy sense :) I received a text message on Sunday from a regular client that comes to me for Rockstars every 3-4 weeks. The message said if I could please call her if I had a minute as she had somehow hurt her toe, it wouldn't...

    Soaking nails in a manicure?

    Hi everyone, I have a new client coming today who wants just a normal manicure. I think the last time I did one of these was about 3 years ago! It's all been Shellac for me so far. So trying to remember my procedure and need to remember to do my hand/arm massage BEFORE painting unlike with...

    Shellac sample colour chart

    Last week, I had a client in who wanted a really fabulous looking Shellac Mani for a very posh wedding and knew she wanted it neutral with a glitter fade of some sort, so after much deliberation and dismissing my fabulous suggestions, decided she'd like the colour that is number 41 on the...

    Client injury - what would you do?

    I had a client in for nails last night, new client and she was lovely. Very chatty, didn't stop talking the whole time, was chatting away to me like she'd know me for years. Treatment went well and she was pleased with her nails. I work from a summerhouse in my garden for those that might not...

    Speeding up my prep time?

    Hi all, I don't think from reading other threads on here that I am particularly slow as such but I do think my prep time could be cut right down. I use a double ended cuticle chisel and I adore it!! It gets off so much cuticle but I find that this is definitely slowing me down, as I am so...
