Yes, I do LCN gel extensions and always use a Shellac colour to finish... some may argue its possibly a slight waste in that I'm combining two treatments, but I much prefer the finish of the Shellac colour compared to LCNs colours and they stay shinier longer too with Shellac! x

No it's Bikini Pink! Does look a bit like Tropix on the pic though! X

Shes blonde, but I like your thinking! I'm pretty sure the gloves thing will be it - I've had it with dark jeans too, they stain your hands and nails. She seems quite happy to accept it's something she's done as she's a regular client and never had a problem in all the years I've done her nails...

It's bizarre isn't it?!? I'm convinced it must be something that's contaminated them - what though, she's no idea and I certainly haven't got a clue!! Thanks folks... I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has had this and discovered what caused it... I'm intrigued now! xx

Nope!

Hi guys, I've had a read through other posts and can't see anything that quite answers this... any ideas what on earth has happened to my clients Shellac nails?? (Pic attached) In all my 101 years (it feels like!!) of doing nails, I've never ever had this happen! I've quizzed the client on every...

Pink Bikini with two lots of silver glitter, small and large dust :)

Pink bikini Shellac with silver glitter dusts... 💕

I've been doing Shellac for years and even I'm in ore of this picture!!! Fab collection! x

NYX do some great glitter palettes which has both the fixer and glitter within one, so perfect. I use it on clients' eyes, just subtly and it looks great and stays put for hours (have also used it on myself, so personally tried and tested!!) x

Blimey, what a read this thread was... it started off well, then sent me almost to sleep in the middle when the unhelpful slating, comparing to nail companies and battle of "whose been in the business longest" started and then there was some useful constructive criticism (always necessary to...

I find that with caviar beads - however much top coat I put over them, as soon as I wipe them, the colour from the bead wipes off leaving a silver bead!! Very annoying!

I personally would love it - but that's probably because I'm not a huge fan of mainstream, high street salons (nothing against them as such, just personal preference) so a slightly unusual salon would be attractive to me (and I love cats!). I have a home based salon and it works well. As others...

It happens to us all, we are after all only human - every job in the world has good and bad days, I think the key thing is how you handle it. The suggestion above of giving her a call is a really good idea or you could also say that after looking at the picture, you felt they weren't your best...

Love these - what did you use to create the effect on the ring fingers - did you use caviar balls (just separated)?? Xx

Sorry, just clicked on the link you shared and it's only 3 hours, I'm sure if there's one in the Birmingham area, I could fit 3 hours in!!

Great, thank you. Is the sculpting gel process hugely different to LCN or any other sculpting gel? I'm just thinking, I've got a couple of ladies who have issues with soft and brittle nails, but don't want gel extensions and so this sounds as though it could be a solution for them, but...

Slightly off topic from OPs original post, but as I've just seen something mentioned I've been meaning to ask about for a while, thought id jump in! Is the smoothing gel you mention, Brisa? I was never taught about that in my shellac training (admittedly it was a couple of years ago and yes it...

Absolutely agree, always have a rough idea of what you want to charge and certainly for things like wedding and special occasion make up, have a set amount and that's a fixed price, but when dealing with fashion and entertainment jobs, be prepared to negotiate here and there and weigh up the...

Hi This is a good question, but unfortunately a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" type question (not helpful, I know, but true!)... my rates vary depending on the client, the make up required, the work required beforehand (planning, research etc), the location, the model etc etc. I would...
