I have found recently on a couple of clients that some of their nails have white patches on them after removal. I have a feeling they aren't applying solar oil between services and this is the cause. I would like to know if you all agree or whether it could be something else. I use the complete...

Have tried loads of times to register as a pro on the CND website. But every time I enter my details, it keeps saying my postcode and phone number are invalid! I have tried entering then in everyway I can imagine and not got anywhere. I have emailed CND, but after a week still have not had a...

I have a new client that has Psoriasis on hands. Will she be ok using the CND Lamp I use for Shella?

I am finding on some of my clients that I get little hard lumps/bits under the shellac. These are only noticable after I put the first colour coat on and it is really frustrating. I use cuticle away, then a metal cuticle pushie followed by a curette. Shrub fresh etc. I presume its either...

I have a client next week that has asked for glitter tips, wondering if the best way to do it is to: after curing the first colour layer, put on the colour for the tip, cure that. Then apply the glitter to the sticky layer, trying not to get any on the sticky layer of the rest of the nail!, then...

I had a client today who was the first person I have done Shellac on that I didn't know and was having done for a wedding tomorrow. I don't know why but I was really nervous and this didn't get any better when I got there. She was really nice, not had shellac before and choose Iced Cap, which I...

Hope you can help , I have been asked if I would do a 15 year old nails using Shellac. I would feel better if I get the parent to sign a consent form, but don't know where to start. If you have any examples of what you use I would be really grateful.

Don't really want to carry more stuff around with me and haven't done a shellac pedicure on a client yet. As I am mobile, I thought I could either use an antibac wipe or spray and then wipe off with a soft landings towel. Just abit worried about leaving a residue, especially if I use a wipe...

I have a lamp I use for mobile which I bought from Ikea. It's great apart from the base is very heavy to carry around. I read I tread that I can't find now where some of you were talking about a lightweight lamp you use with a clip on it, with pads so you don't scratch clients furmiture and...

Has anyone had problems with their shellac bottles leaking? A few of mine have starting leaking and I have noticed that when I screw the lid on and tighten it , it doesn't look straight where it joins the neck of the bottle. I keep trying to make sure I am putting it on straight ,but it keeps...

In have only tried Shellac rockstar nails on my nail wheel to see how they came out and all of them are rough to touch. I didn't want to rub them too much into the sticky layer after I had cured the colour as I was afraid I would get a more foil finish. The glitter looks great apart from it...

Has anyone managed to layer Shellac to make a Navy/dark blue that is flat, not shimmery. I have tried the ones I have seen posted but they aren't a flat finish. I have posted this on the shellac group aswell .

I have been given the opportunity by a hair salon to do shellac nails.The only thing is th esalon owner would like me to do them as the customers are having their hair done- mainly having a colour put on as this would be a good why to save the clients time. I am not sure if this would work or...

Really excited to do some Rockstar nails and have looked at a few threads to see how to do them. Still not exactly sure whether its better to but the glitter on the sticky layer or on the uncured colour , it seems that if you rub it on with a brush you get more of a foil effect whereas if you...
