So I've been practicing my spa pedicures on my hubby (which he loves). I know the wax needs to be approx 52℃ but I'm struggling with the temperature being too hot. I understand that wax needs to be hot to melt but if I turn the temperature down once it's melted it soon goes back to solid...

Hi all took the plunge and decided to learn free hand and one stroke nail art. I just have a couple of things I'm unsure about. From what I've seen when using acrylic paints your surface has to be Matt for the paint to adhere. Would I right in thinking that when using gel polish you would...

Just needed a rant. Competitions rather fierce where I am at the moment. Lots of girls adverising nails for £10-£15, lots of clients wanting their nails done by them (obviously don't know better) it happens I know. But the comments I've read over the last few days made me grit my teeth. I had...

Does anyone know of a brand of well less nail tips that are a natural white/off white colour. I've bought pro impressions but they are too white and I don't like them. I've also got NSI pearl tips but they are only suitable for clients with long nail beds. I know most people will do their white...

The time of year is here where we all know it's going to be very slow. I will have my regulars still come but I'm wondering what other geeks are planning to do to gain new clients. I'm planning on a leaflet drop and unsure whether to do January offers. What are your thoughts? Sent from my HTC...

I don't know if this is a daft question or not. I know we can mix glitter into acrylic powders bit can you do the same with mica powders or does it not work? If you can would it be the same ratio as it is with glitter? Thanks geeks x Sent from my HTC One X using SalonGeek

Hi geeks I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. I've seen a konad design on some of your nails which is a scroll writing design with the word love in it-can anyone tell me what plate it is please. Also I'm after some delicate full nail designs for a brides wedding nails. Can anybody...

Has anyone heard of this company? They have contacted me via pro impressions. A lot of the nail photos are done by a lady called Magdalena Traks. Anyway they are promoting a new one phase hybrid gel polish and the colours look really good. Any thoughts on them?x Sent from my HTC One X using...

Hi all I've tried searching for this but can't find the answer. I've recently invested into some dashing diva French wraps. I really like them and I'm wanting to offer them to my clients. I want to use them with my Gelax gel polish but I'm unsure whether I should be charging extra for them or...

Just a quick rant about myself!one of my regular clients came the other night and caught me off guard asking for gel enhancements instead of her usual gel polish. So I very nervously did them and they looked lovely and my client was so pleased with them as she has confidence issues with her...

Hi all so I'm wanting to do crystal pedicures practiced on myself with gel a few months ago. Anyway I'm trained in manicure,pedicure,l&p,gel and fibreglass. Do I need to do another course specifically in crystal pedis or will the qualifications I've already got cover me to do it with my...

Hi all, Just a quick question I've just done a natural gel overlay on my clients nails and finished them with glaze and go then nurture oil. She's just contacted me to say that one of her hands has shiny nails but the other one is dull. I know I definitely top coated both of them so does anyone...

Hi guysso I've finished my course and have now qualified!!Big smiles!! I'm having problems removing l&p. I soaked my nails in acetone for 20 mins but they wouldn't budge. Took me ages to get them off and I damaged some of my nail plate in the end. I've never removed l&p with foil wraps but I'm...
