Hi there, I gave up my nail business a couple of years ago due to a significant life change. I loved it so much I kept doing a few friends/family as a hobby just to keep my finger in the pie as it were. Because of the pandemic, obviously this stopped and due to being CEV I am unlikely to start...

Situation - I do a client and her daughters nails. I saw the daughter Sunday and she informed me her Mom has broken her shoulder (ouch!) Her Mom is booked in tomorrow and hasn't cancelled her appt. I've messaged her with no reply as yet. But my question is this - should I be doing her nails at...

Right guys my bestie has moved to The Hague and has had some awful experiences with nail techs - she pays what seems a lot of money - which isn't an issue - but they all come off. I know it isn't her because I've done her nails for years with no problems (I use Orly Gel FX) But it seems she has...

Hey ladies - I'm a bit stumped I've been sent this pic by one of my ladies asking how much to charge for this (beautiful work whoever it is) so that's my question really! What would you charge? For the Swarovski alone I mean. I'm struggling really as the majority of my ladies are 'over' the...

Id like a bit of business advice please, I issued a voucher just over 4 years ago which was never redeemed and the girl now wishes to do so. However in 4 years my circumstances have significantly changed, I no longer live where I work and come back for specific days to do my existing clients...

I've had a horrible voicemail off a client basically saying that if I require a doctors note I can pay the £25 myself. She trusts her doctor and that is enough for her. Basically she bruised her nail a few months ago and I was happy to treat the nails as long as it looked like a bruise - now it...

Need some advice for an appointment I have tomorrow please ladies... One of my clients bashed her thumb about 3 months back, she had a beautiful blue bruise as pictured below. I've done it myself so I know (even if I didn't 'know') that the bruise tends to grow out with the nail. However I...

I was wondering if an experienced geek would be happy for me to private PM them regarding an issue I have with a client - possible oncholyosis. I can't find what I need from previous threads and I'd like to keep the matter private. I am seeing the client in question later today and won't be able...

I'm after some advice from an experienced Geek please. One of my long term regular clients has damage to her thumb nail caused by eczema, usually it splits every 6 months or so from her eponichium and grows out. As long as the area is not sore/bleeding/pussing which it never has, I will use...

Hi there :-) I have a lovely client who is emigrating to Lysterfield in Melbourne. She has been a client of mine for a few years and wears Young Nails Acrylic Extensions successfully. I would love to be able to point her in the right direction of a reliable technician as she wasn't very happy...

One of my regulars asked me for a foot treatment 2 months ago which I unfortunately had to decline due to lingering signs of what I believed could be Athletes Foot. When I expressed my concern she said that she had been to the doctors and had been given a treatment (how annoying that she did not...

Hi there, I have been doing Acrylic nails on one of my clients for a year now and on 2 occasions the nail plate has split revealing the nail bed directly from the eponychium. Usually I will place fiberglass over the split and then overly with the acrylic which reduces the discomfort for her...

Hi Geeks - odd question I know - but I'm at a loss! Is anyone else finding the longevity of their acrylics is affected by the hot weather recently??? I use the Young Nails L+P system with literally no issues (touch wood!) and bang over the last couple of weeks people are losing nails? Ladies...

Hi there, One of my ladies has asked me to do the following design on her which she found on Instagram. However I'm struggling to find the Gold 3D Seashells shown in the picture. I was wondering if anyone might know where I could find some of these - preferably in the UK as I need them by...

Hi Geeks, Was wondering if anyone knew where I could purchase some Bronze coloured rhinestones from the UK (As I need them by Thursday) I'm really struggling to find some in this colour - although I know you can get Swarovski crystals in this colour I really don't want to fork out that much...

Just wondering if anyone has tried this? I love the crushed Shell look with Acrylic and was gonna have a little go this evening with Gel Polish (Orly Gel FX) My plan is to attempt it in the same way as Rockstars but obviously try and lie the shells as flat as possible. However, if anyone has...

Hi there, I haven't seen anything around this subject on here and I'm just wondering how you guys would have handled this situation. So, I'm doing a pedicure - as you do and the lady mentions another technician she's been too where they GIVE the client the bottle of polish they paint the...

Hey guys :-) hoping for some reassurance really. I have completed some infills today (please see pic below) - this happens to be the second infill on this particular set on one of my lovely clients and she pointed out too me this sort of orangey looking haze underneath the acrylic - now although...
