    Marked client's table!

    Hello there, May I offer a small but useful suggestion.. If you are going mobile & dont have one of those folding tables at the moment & are going to be using your clients table, just get one of those table clothes you can put under. It doesnt have to be an expensive one just one that...

    Are you saying you are trying to cure your gel application for 30 mins & it's still not curing? :eek: What Brand Gel Are you using & What LED lamp are you using? The most you should be curing your gels per application is for 3 mins under a 36W UV lamp. It should be half the time under a...

    Help with lamp!

    Hello, I have got to say that in all my years of doing nails I have never heard someone ask that question! :) Is it possible that your LED lamp may not be curing your gel application due to the fact that your application was too thick or perhaps needed a bit more time? Remember this saying...

    Air bubbles in gel?

    Awe, thanks..That was so sweet of you to say! That means a lot. :Love: I just remember how shy I was to ask questions when I started out in the business & it took a lot of hard work I spent on my own researching & looking things up. I see so many people on here that have the courage to...

    First ever nail art....

    Hi there, I think that looks absolutely wonderful. I think you are being a little too hard on yourself. Why throw away anything you have made? It's artistic either way. When I first started out in the business I thought I didnt have talent in art either. I could barely do a french...

    Bella's vampire Gelish

    Hez Dear, I am sorry you are having a bit of trouble there. Question: Is it just that one client or is it happening to any other of your clients using that same bottle?! You said you tried other colors that stood on her for 3 weeks just fine prior to this particular color. Sounds odd that...

    Extra growth under toenail, can you help?

    Hello there, I didnt want to make any assumptions at this point because as you stated it is almost impossible to see anything but some white underneath the nail from this view. If you honestly want a more professional opinion you will have to try to post a few more pics like from the top...

    Creative block! Help please

    Wow, First off that is a beautiful top. It's got all that print & colors to go along. As far as your nails I would just leave it as is! The dark color adds pzazz to that whole outfit. Adding additional prints is just too much in my opinion. If you want to add more bling to it, I would...

It's true, if you can get one on one help learning...
