    Airbase make up

    I use airbase and luminess air. I love airbrush make-up! My friend who has been doing it years taught me! I love it. Luminess is much lighter and more natural but I prefer Airbase, covers well! Stays on so great for Brides. I use it on myself but brush it. I haven't got the time to clean the...

    Advice needed desperate!!

    Good for you! MissLB! You did the right thing. If you carry on as you are you'll do fine on your own! Can't believe she smiled when you explained to her about the fakes. What else is she up to? She's just being greedy. I say what goes around comes around! Best not to be working there!!

    Eyelashes

    I can't recommend La Science lash treament highly enough. Thicker, stronger, longer lashes. Not cheap but so worth it. I really saw and felt a difference with it! I tried Mavala Double lash no comparison hardly made any difference all at! La Science all the way!!

    Does anyone use both Shellac and Gelish?

    I am the same I use Shellac and love it, but some of my clients just need a bit more. I am going to the show so I can properly see and select the Gelish colours. I have Gelish on now with shellac base and top coat and it's already been harder wearing, however I would never do this to a client...

    Best beauty course

    Spray tanning in filthy houses? What to do?

    Poor you! Sounds terrible. I have been to some untidy, dirty homes but not like this. I have several sets of towels for my spray tans to protect their floors and my equipment. One lady I went to my towels and pop up tent got stuck to her floor! Horrid! I'm glad you have reported her. Someone...

    Shellac removal - wraps or tin foil? What's your preference?

    I also use Magis foil wraps now for toes and fingers and I think they still look professional better than just cut up foil and cotton wool!

    SmillieShellac I am the same as you! I was also wondering how Paplion was getting on as I was also thinking about adding in Brisa Gel. I love Shellac but some of my clients do have bendy, thin peeling nails and have thought that a hard gel would be better with Shellac over the top. I will do...
