    L&P overlay on toes

    I usually find those wanting acrylic on toes just have it on big toes and its to extend the length due to them being short. As for overlays on toes I don't see the point in that !

    Which insurance to choose?

    Having read previous threads on insurance i've done quotes for salon gold and professional beaut direct. There is less than £1 between their quotes so I just wanted to see what you guys thought on which was the better insurer to go with. Thanks

    What should capped free edge look like?

    You dont need excessive amounts of gel polsih to cap the free edge and certainly not so it looks bulbous. With the right amount of gel on the brush cover the nail plate and with the remaining gel just cap the free edge

    Great bag for polishes!

    Which brand for gel extensions

    I have been interested for a long time in doing a gel extensions course, I just love the look and think some of my acrylic clients may prefer it. I have found a local beauty school to do the course with but was wondering what brand of gel you use and if there is any to steer clear of. Thanks :)
