    New Shellac colours

    I will certainly wait to see them. I was disappointed with the last 6 colours and I have only used 2 of them once since I got them at the show in March. I hardly do any Shellac now, all my ladies want Gelish or OPI Gelcolor. No agenda, just fact. I have this feeling that my Shellac colours are...

    Gelish or OPI Gelcolor

    This is really simple....... stock them both!!! :D I love both of them and my clients do too. Well worth getting an LED Lamp though. It all depends on your budget, you won't be disappointed with either product. I only use CND prep and removal products etc though, they just cannot be beaten...

    Do clients still want basic mani's & pedi's these days?

    Depends what you mean by "normal" UV lamp. It will cure with a Shellac lamp I believe. However I use the Gelish LED light and it works fine with the OPI Gelcolor. I will probably buy the OPI LED lamp at the show in September, purely because I would rather use the light designed for the product...

    How long have you been in business

    My 10th year next year. I have always been part time up until September last year. It has been an amazing year, far exceding my expectations and improving all the time. I have some fantastic clients, re-invest in the business and always strive to improve. I love the work.

    Do clients still want basic mani's & pedi's these days?

    I have an account with Nail Harmony (you have to send a copy of your Mani/pedi qualfication) and then you can purchase. I also get them from Sally's, but again they are only available to qualified therapists in Mani/pedicure. I have to say I buy quite a few at the shows when they are 20% off...

    Do clients still want basic mani's & pedi's these days?

    That's a massive advantage. I do lots of Pedi's and I can't remember the last "normal" polish I used, they are all Gelish, OPI gelcolor, Shellac (least favourite by the clients) or Rockstar, same with Manicures.

    Would you lower your prices

    I thought I'd add that this Sunday, just before midnight I got a text saying they had seen my website and wanted semi perm individual eyelash extensions and asked how much they were. Now I should have ignored it, but I was relaxed after a nice day, even though I had been working. My prices are...

    Ordering Konad, where is the best place

    Got the package yesterday! :biggrin: Had a few practice goes on myself and then did my first attempt on a client last night as a freebie shown below. The Polish is OPI Gelcolor "A good mandarin is hard to find" on NSI Attraction L&P.

    Gelish Magneto, is there a knack ?

    I found that too, they need longer than stated, trial and error for all until you have it perfected. I practiced on a nail pop.
