Hi girls.. Well after many personal problems I'm kick starting my business again. I've purchased some Vinylux (lots out of stock :() but could someone please pm me what you charge for the service. Many thanks x

Hello everyone. I haven't been on here for AGES!!!! I seperated with my husband so been getting used to life just me and my 4 little girls. It's been very busy but 5 months on I'm feeling much happier now than I've felt for many years :) Anyway...tomorrow I'm going to Manchester to do the...

My daughter is swimming at the moment and has asked me to shellac her nails. I know you shouldn't do them straight after being soaked in water just wondered how long you should leave them to dry out before its ok to shellac?

I've just done my infills and took the final sticky layer off and they look awful!!! It's looks like loads of little round dips which are dull...I've tried to take a photo but it's not turned out well. Can anyone help me, I'm fairly new to Brisa :(

I'm just about to do an order and want to order a large pot of pink gel as its far more cost effective. Which do you find is the most popular (I haven't had many clients yet!) I use the semi sheer pink on myself and would have guessed that one. Any ideas?x

I'm just starting out and going go be working from a home salon. Just wondered if you offer your client a drink when they arrive? It's difficult to drink when you're having your nails done!!

I've done a search but not really found out the info that I need! Which lamp do you have? I bought a cheap one from Argos which isn't really big enough and it causes shadows!!! I want to buy a good quality lamp that really gives off a good light to work in! Heard the daylight company are good...

I have a client in a bit and it's taking all my will power not to eat a piece of garlic bread from the kids tea....I thought it would be a bit unfair to my poor client lol

It's the day before I go on holiday and I just can't make it. How will I be able to learn how to use the additives? Will there be a course that I can go on?x

Are those pedicure stools with a leg rest attached good? I'm doing the CND spa-tacular course in sept so want to get one to practise :?:

There's a salon near me that does LCN (light concept nails)enhancements they charge £45 for forever French. I've never heard of them, have any of you?

Can you believe it, my 1st enhancement client since my Brisa conversion is allergic to it!!!!! Her cuticles got red and swollen and they all lifted. She was really nice about it and says she's allergic to loads of things. I'm surprised as Brisa is hypoallergenic, I'm guessing it's very rare...

Just been watching the DVD that came with my Brisa pack. The educator at the academy told us to use Brisa bond after the tip was blended or the form applied yet on the DVD she used the bond before tip/form application. Which should I do? I have been doing it as we were taught in the class, but...

Had my 1st client return for re-shellac today. She was very happy with her nails and I wrapped them and made her a cupola as she was choosing a new colour! I was praising how fabulous shellac was and how simple it was to remove. Opened the first wrap and it looked the same, it clearly wasnt...

I have Brisa enhancements on, some tips and some sculpted (was practising!) and I put dark lava shellac on yesterday which I love but going out tomorrow and it's not a great colour with my dress. What's the best way to remove the shellac without ruining the gel? I'm guessing using dsolve will...

I love my menda pumps as they are so convenient to use but I wish you could buy them with CND on or better still, different ones with scrubfresh, dsperse and dsolve on. How do the clients know that I'm using all the real products? Anyone else have this problem or are there stickers you can buy...

My daughter is 15 and I have done her nails for her quite a few times while I've been training. Usually after about 3 days she'll appear and they will have all disappeared!! She usually says they all broke so she picked them off?! I blamed the gel (which was pretty awful I admit) but I told her...

As I'm feeling a little more confident after my client this morning, I decided to have a go at sculpting as the only time I've had a go was last Monday during my conversion. I'm pretty pleased with the results, I've been putting of trying as was worried I'd be rubbish! Excuse my other awful...

...to do a full set? I'm just interested as it takes me at least 2 1/2 hrs. I'm hoping to get speedier as I gain more experience! How long did it take you to do a set when you first qualified and how long does it take you now?!
