I have not been on in a long time but knew this was the first place I should ask. Has anyone experienced a yellow strip from cuticle to nail tip in acrylic? I have had a client come in today, returning for her first fill, she has a bright yellow strip from cuticle to tip just in the middle of...

I have been reading my lates issue of Nail Biz (a publication from the The industry Source/NailCo Group-US). In one of the articles/advertisments it mentions: Headline: Science & Medicine "Until recently it was believed that the cause of fungus and mold was either improper application...

Okay since I work at home it's not TOO MUCH of a problem most of the time when clients bring their child/children. BUT I had a client yesterday who is just now coming back since Christmas. Okay I understand that she is a stay at home mother of twins and I knew she was going to bring them. I...

I was doing my mother's nails this morning and it took an unbelievable amount of time to apply the tips. This tips would not adhere (sp) to the nail. It was a VERY raining day today and I did have my french door (which is next to my station) and windows open. Which I just assumed I was having...

Okay granted I'm new to the biz but this is my first time I have ever had a mother breastfeed her child as I give her a manicure. Needless to say it was a bit different. :? I do know this lady but I feel I know her a little better now. :oops:

I need to know why one would use one or the other. I realize that R+ doesn't need primer. Is there clients you would use one on and not the other? In school we used R+ b/c we didn't have to use primer. But on the other hand one of the instructors suggested that we use acid free primer. I...

I just received my results from my state board test. I PASSED! :flower: I was expecting to fail. It is VERY unusal to get them back so soon. It normally takes 6 weeks. It's been 12 days. So when I saw the envelop I just knew I failed. I almost :pukeoff: I actually made a 90%...

Okay I may be having a blonde moment here :oops: . When you say conversion courses, what exactly do you mean? Is it a workshop with the educator demonstrating? This is the first place I have ran across this term. Granted I am new to this field and have only been to one hair/nail show and...

I just thought I would let the board know that I go Monday to take my state boards. Needless to say, I'm a bit nervous. :pukeon: We (nail techs in Illinois) have 6 months after graduation to take the state board exam. I waited until it was in Springfield (March 3rd). I'm cutting it close...

Okay I have to say that I'm just a little envious. You worked on KID ROCK! :thumbsup: I would of done anything to have been there just to get a peek. He is the BEST performer. I know most people would argue with me but I saw him twice last year in concert and aside from the pole dancing...

I need help! I have a client with extremely flat nail beds. As a novice, I can't seem to make her nails look good (at least to me). Her nails also start to bend when they grow the least little bit and separate from the acrylic. I have been told to use an electric file to file her natual nail...
