    Shellac Xmas colours?

    I just read the flyer of the Dutch cnd distributors. The vinylux comes in a double pack with shellac. There comes a limited edition solar oil . For additives in one kit and a vinylux display with three of the three colours each and three topcoats. So no seperate shellac and vinylux, or you have...

    Is this timing OK?

    Not that bad, considering you can only cure one hand at a time and you cant work on the other hand then, like you use to do with clients. :hug:

    You could first try the brisa lite smoothing gel under the shellac. It's the perfect partner for shellac for more challenging nails. It gives extra strength and support. If this is not sufficient you can use the brisa lite sculpting gel under shellac. Always apply a gel or l&p under shellac. Not...

    Brisa Lite Smoothing gel?

    Brisa lite smoothing gel is the perfect power partner for shellac for clients who have thin, flexible, ridged, splitting, deleminated nails. I use it for almost 50% of my clients. They notice definately longer shellac wear because of extra protection and strength. Couldn't be without it

    CND Stickey or CND Shellac base coat?

    No, you can't. Stickey is a regular polish basecoat and shellac base uv curable. You have to use the whole correct system with shellac

    Brisa Lite Removable Smoothing Gel

    You can use brisa lite smoothing gel under other gels perfectly. The advice is to do just one layer of smoothing gel, not too thick, not too thin. It depends on clients nails how long the extra wear is under shellac. My own nails shellac peels off within 12 days because of delemanation of my own...

    Painting the perfect base coat?

    My advice is to look for a brand that suits you best, including the brushes. In my opinion it does look a little bit clumsy if you use seperate brushes, but that's my opinion. If you do want to use seperate brushes you can clean them easily with nail polish remover or plain aceton.

    Nail bed hurts with electric nail filing

    Well, all I can say is I hope you learn to do it better than her. And please, if you are on your course, don't use an efile unless you do a specific course for it. Great luck with your course in march

    Gel nails popping off-help!

    You can better sculpt with nailforms on bitten nails. A tip on shortly bitten nails give often not sufficient support.

    2 problems- any advice grateful!

    Do you rub the cuticle away in with your finger?? You better can spread it over the nail with a propusher.

    Shellac & swimming pool

    Make sure you say to her that she has to carefully wash and dry her hands after using sunscreen and the swimminpool. Then she should be fine. Pink colours have a tendency to fade, because of the sort of pigment.

    Nail bed hurts with electric nail filing

    No,this is not normal!! You shouldn't feel pain while filing, handfiling or electric filing. Probably you were feeling the heat on your nail. That is because the electric file is too long on one place, resulting in overfiling and heatspike

    Brisa Lite Removable Smoothing Gel

    Love brisa lite smoothing gel. It perfectly covers ridges under shellac en definately gives more strength to the nail. No shine remove necessary and easy to soak off (with shellac about ten minutes and it comes clean off). Defenitely worth to try it, I use it for about 50% of my shellac clients.

    Gel polishes?

    HI, good you're looking into gel polishes, you won't regret. If you only want to use gel polishes it isn't necessary to do a gel extensions course. A manicure certificate is sufficient, but I would highly recommend to do a gel polish course. gelish and shellac are the two bestknown brands, also...

    Hi, it's best to use a led lamp that belongs to your system for the best results and no chance for under or overcuring. I read in your profile you use opi? I know Opi has a good powerfull led lamp
