Once upon a time I was a huge GEEK, and spent many waking hours on this website learning, sharing, and making new friends in web super space. I have become very busy in the last few years, making it hard for me to geek consistently, but I do lurk here and there and try to post when I can...

Shellac vs. Gel Polish - YouTube!

I just wanted some input from you veterans in the competition arena if you don't mind sharing ideas and critiques with me I glazed over the rule in SYS about not being able to enter the following year if you placed the PREVIOUS year, and spent half the day doing nails for the Senior...

Hey all!!! I am sitting here in my hotel room in San Diego, tired as can be, but SO excited, and wanted to tell you that Jules AKA NAIL ACADEMY http://www.salongeek.com/members/nail+academy.html Is your newest UK CND Education Ambassador. Oh and BTW, she was also named THE BEST IN CLASS...

This is actually my first EVER attempt at a stilletto nail, and I think in hindsight they should be more narrow- but I havent posted a pic in quite a while, so here you go! :green:

RESULTS ARE IN RESULTS ARE IN!!!!! Winners

So I got my Minx nail coverings a while back, used one the wrong way, and then didnt have the nerve to pick them up again until I attended a class. Well I havent' had time to get my butt to a class, and ordered a bunch of different designs, and decided to just DO IT. A stylist i work with has...

I am competing in a contest on You Tube called "Idol Search," in the mini version, for a top 10 spot in season 3 of this vocal competition. The top 10 contestants get guaranteed airplay on a show called Idol Radio show, which has had spots with a LOAD of contestants from American Idol, and a...

Anybody else seen these yet? There are three, one demo for prep, one for sculpting, and one for CB. If you haven't seen them, GO SEE THEM! Tiffany and Roxanne make smile lines look ridiculously easy. It's completely unfair ;) xoxo Login - CND

SO I have this very funny story to share. For some of you that know me, you know that I have been trying to re-obtain my license to practice as a nail tech in my home state of Nevada- After being in Alaska for so long, I had let my license lapse (NEVER DO THAT BTW), and had to jump through a...

I meant to post this mainly because I NEVER get to do anything like this EVER!!! This was one of my first forays into some serious colored powder art, first leopard, first time placing a smile line and NOT dragging the pink over it- I was seriously in the zone for this set lol. Sorry about...

OK, here is a before and after, I used black powder on most nails, some blue, melting pot, cobalt, and sin city on thumbs and ring fingers..... I find my achilles heel with these types of forms is my sidewalls, and not pressing too hard at the cuticle. But while the first hand felt a little...

Nope, not pop-it's lol- I have actually had my hands too full to play with my toys this week. here is why... This is the newest member of my family, and her name is Sophie. She is 8 weeks old, and is a purebred Lhasa Apso. She weighs 3.5 lbs, and when full grown will be about 6-8lbs...

OK, over here they are called DUAL SYSTEM FORMS. Now I need a guinea pig ;) Anyone want to come over to Colorado? ;) I can see a big difference in these forms compared to regular tips. You can SEE where the apex placement should be, it should just be a matter of practice now... I will...

Ok, this isn't about real critique, because I already know what I don't like about what I did, this was an EXPERIMENT. ;) This is Brisa Gel applied to the back of a clear tip, then pressed onto my prepped and base layer-applied nail plate. I need to figure out how to build up the apex...

I just got off the phone with my gal Cathee at CND here in the states, and it look s like I am all re-qualified for my GM again! I thought I still needed one more class, but she says I'm all DONE, and that she just put my new cert in a mailer to go out tomorrow! I'm having shock and awe...

Hey yo wassup all. ;) I don't like to post art work and the like very often, but am all a flutter after doing some creating tonight for an article in NAILS magazine, and thought I would share my mini-gallery. I had 3 themes to work with: embossed, eyelet, and text messaging. So here is the...

I wasn't actually going to post a thread, but was looking to see if anyone was busting their GUT for the upcoming holiday season lol. I have been killing myself in the gym since may, and trying to get ahold of my diet since then, and it has involved constant tweaking, some crying, and alot...
