    Drying acrylic paint

    I have some experience with this kind of paint, not the same brand, but they also said you could make 3d effects. I had some clients to experiment on and they lost their paintings with this sort of paint within days. Because it is so thick it doesn't stick very well to the acrylic/gel nail...

    Drying acrylic paint

    Hi, what sort of acrylic paint are you using? Because normally it dries pretty fast. Maybe you could add a bit more water? Make it thinner so that it dries faster.

    My nail fold

    I have it too, when I push my cuticles back on my thumbs it also goes really easy and it seems like there's a gap between the cuticle and the nail. So no worries! ;)

    Two hours for a full set. Please help?

    I'm with you on that one! I also like using my e-file. And lovely stated by Greg of YN "It's not the tools that do the damage, it's the fools that do the damage" ;) So back to the subject, using an e-file (CORRECTLY) it can definitely save you time!

    Two hours for a full set. Please help?

    I like 'm! And if I was your client I'd be more than happy to sit around for 2 hours and get such a nice set of nails like these. So don't worry. A new set of nails takes me about 1,5 - 2 hours. And most time when I see sets that are done within the hour it's rubbish (not saying they all are) So...

    Nail Art & UV gel

    And make sure that after you take the tacky layer off you file your nail in to shape/roughen it up, so that your paint will stick ;).

    French Acrylic Toes! Need some help!

    Indeed, I guess when one of my clients insisted on more length I think I also would use white tips with a thin layer of acrylic.

    French Acrylic Toes! Need some help!

    Hi, I don't know if you maybe also use gelpolish, if so I would suggest to do a french with that on her toes. Because you'll have a much thinner effect and it is better for the feet, don't know if she maybe wears to tight of shoes so acrylics might put a lot of pressure on the toenails. (that is...

    Nail Art & UV gel

    Hi, If you was using polish and top them off with a layer of gel your polish will crack underneath. Instead you can use acrylic paints which you can buy in almost any craftstore. Hope this helps!

    What brand of gel do you use?

    Hi, I use YN, and never changed. I use their gels only on my clients who insist having gels and not L&P (most of them don't like the smell :P). And I absolutely love their white sculptor because it is so bright white and stays that way. Also their gels are really good to work with, and I have...

    China Glaze not drying? Help!

    Hmm, I have an aircleaner in my salon which blows out cold air. So when I sometimes applied my polish to thick I let my clients put the nails above the air which the machine blows out. That way it dries faster. I know there are nail dryers to buy but I don't know where. And do you maybe know...

    China Glaze not drying? Help!

    Hi have you tried drying each layer in between at least for one minute? Especially the last layer has to set for at least one minute. Even more better would be if the basecoat and color are dry before applying another layer. And then only spray the quickdry over the topcoat which has been set...

    I personally like high and deep smilelines, so I think it looks fab! But I think that comes down to personal preference. And I love the glitters, really sparkly! Overall nice job!
