    Original colorpops

    Does anyone know where I can find the original branded Colorpops without stands? S2 and NSI used to sell them but nobody has just the pops anymore without the stands. I don't mind where in the world I have to buy them from.

    New OPI lamp?

    Has anyone else bought the new OPI LED/UV lamp? I am having major problems with the sensor not always working. I'm just about to send the second one back. I am an experienced tech and I can't believe it's me or my clients doing something wrong - unless one of you know something I don't.

    OPI Studio Lamp problems

    I have just started noticing that right hand pinkies and left hand forefingers are not curing properly near the cuticle on some of my clients. I have checked that all the bulbs are working. Anyone else know what could be causing this?

    Priv beauty app, anyone used this?

    My son is a mobile nail tech just starting in London. He is thinking of using this app. Has anyone got any experience of it and is it worth using? Does it generate business?

    New OPI LED lamp

    I really want the new OPI LED, the design of the current model in terms of being a dust trap drives me mad. Why is it that the lamp is not yet available from Coty on the pro sites in the US or the UK but there are loads of people (on both sides of the pond) offering it on Ebay? Where do these...

    CND Gel Bond removal

    Just a quicky. I have a client coming in who is apparently wearing stick ons, she says they were stuck on with CND Gel Bond. Does Gel Bond dissolve in acetone? I'm assuming the stick ons will.

    Battery operated LED lamp?

    We a little wobble with our electricity supply yesterday and it got me thinking. All of my clients now have gel polish. If there was a power cut during the day, I wouldn't be able to work. Is there a battery operated LED light available (at a sensible price) that I could keep in a drawer in...

    Colorpops wall displays desperately needed!

    I am still on the lookout for Colourpops Wall Displays. I have a few and need more for my wall. They stopped making them a few years ago (I bought them originally from S2) and now I can't find any even second hand for love nor money. I am happy to buy them in any condition (with or without the...

    Distribution of nail products - what's different?

    Not sure if anyone will honestly answer this question. What has happened in the industry recently? There appears to be lots of people selling CND, OPI, Harmony etc. legally where before it could only be sold by the Sole Distributors. I'm not complaining, as end users the competition is...

    Art for art's sake?

    I want to play devil's advocate a bit here. I keep seeing the most amazing nail art, particularly on very long stiletto enhancements. One stroke blah, blah, blah. However, the only people who seem to be wearing these types of nails are other nail techs and competition models. I want to ask if...

    Patchy White Under Neon Coloured Gel Polish

    I use Gelish and OPI GelColor. I have all the neon ranges and know that they really pop with white painted underneath. With both Gelish and Gelcolor the coat of white seems to almost separate before its cured. It leaves the white patchy and colour pitted (IYKWIM). This then makes it hard to...

    Meeting Ex - count down to looking fab!

    I will be going to a party in late April where I will be seeing my ex and all his family and his new family. Haven't seen most of them in 20+ years. Now I realise that we will all be older, but I just want to look the best I can (shallow, I know). So what are your best beauty tips? I have a...

    Flexi Glaze?

    I've seen an advertisement in the Pro Beauty brochure for "Flexi Glaze" has anyone tried this product? It seems a lot less faff than IBX. FlexiglazeNail Hardeners, Nail Strengtheners, Nail Polish I can't find stockist information or prices.

    One Stroke Home Learning?

    I know attending a course is always the best, but I would like to learn to do one stroke nail art either via the web, dvd or book. Any recommendations on how I can do this?

    Working out cost per service rant

    Judging by a few recent threads, when it comes to gel polish/UV colour coats, it would appear that lots of people on here do not understand how to work out cost per service. They assume that expensive brands cost loads more to use than cheap brands and they price their services to reflect this...

    OPI GelColor - Lincoln Park After Dark

    Had anyone else got the GelColor Lincoln Park After Dark? Mine is very nearly black and much darker than the original polish. I am wondering if I should send my bottle back to OPI. Have I got a dud bottle? Should it be exactly the same colour as the polish? All my other colours all are.

    Where do I find gel allergy info?

    Where can I find information on the dangers and possible allergy risks of DIY gel polish application? Particularly where someone is using a cheap Ebay lamp and cheap copycat brands.
