Hi Geeks, One of my clients wearing Shellac Rockstars has damaged her big toenail by dragging a heavy table across it. She thinks toenail lifted from bed and is now infected and bruised. She needs me to remove the Shellac before going to podiatrist but I am at a loss. Is it even safe - let...

Hello Geeks, Today I removed Shellac from one of my clients toenails and found this massive greenie. It is the first time I have ever experienced it (2 years of doing nails) and it was quite a shock. I applied the Shellac on March 8th, and she noticed the dark mark a week ago. She has...

Hi Geeks, Please could anyone recommend *the perfect brush* for cleaning up around the eponychium? I have bought a few brushes which are rubbish and don't want to do it again! Any links to where I can buy the same as you too please. Thanks so much :-)

Hello Geeks, I got a pair of these from my sister a few years ago - foot socks for during the night with a gel lining. I believe she got them from Boots, but they no longer have them. Anyone ever found these anywhere? They are really good and I would like to retail them. Thanks very much...

Hi all, I removed an unknown product the other evening which had the following: UV cured base coat, then regular polish, and then a UV cured top coat. Does anyone know what it was? I've tried googling it but haven't found anything. I wrapped fingers in nourishing remover, waited around 10...

I bought the Belava pedicure bowl and am thinking of getting the heater/massager attachment. Has anyone experience of it? I wish I had bought a full system in the first place as I don't like the fact that the water cools down during the treatment - can't be nice for the client! Would be...

Hello all, I'm returning to a subject about toes that I posted about a few weeks ago as I need more help please! A lady I recently went to see has enhancements on both her big toes (past bacterial infection meant most of the nails had to be removed). She wanted me to remove and replace the...

Hello geeks, I'm hoping you can ladies can help me please. I have been contacted by a woman who has both halves of her big toenails missing which need re-doing. She had tips put onto them in the summer but they now need replacing. I've never done this before but understand in principle what...

Hello all, On Friday I have my hairdresser coming to me for the first time for a Shellac pedicure. I really need to do a great job as she has high standards herself and expects no less! She has a royal blue glittery gel on her toes which I will have to remove manually before Shellacing. I...

Hello geeks, I'm considering buying this chair for pedicure treatments, if anyone can give me their opinions or experience of this type of chair I would be very grateful. Many thanks, Saskia

Good evening geeks, Today I had one of my ladies round for re-shellacing and she had product on from a salon done during her holiday. She re-assured me that it was Shellac but it wasn't. I wrapped her fingers in acetone-soaked wraps for the usual 10 mins, and when I unwrapped the first one...

Hello, I did my first set of Shellac Rockstars on neighbour's daughter last Sunday, and by Wednesday the product had come off the little toes and you can see a chip on the big toe :(. The little toes were literally a sliver of nail so I had my doubts when doing them - how can it stay on such a...

Hello again Geeks, I have been getting tiny bubbles in my base coat for the past 4-5 treatments. It's my first bottle of BC and it started happening around treatment number 20. I have read some previous threads on the forum suggesting it could be cuticle/fuzz etc but I'm quite sure it's...

Evening Geeks, I did a Shellac manicure on a lady this morning and she had quite badly stained nails from using self tanning cream. She chose Clearly Pink so there was no covering it up! Does anyone have any advice I could pass on to get rid of or lessen the staining? (I suppose she could...

Hello Geeks, A long shot I know, but does anyone have the Shellac aftercare sheet translated in French or German? Many thanks, Saskia

I have been busy practicing Shellac manicures on my friends since doing the course last week. Despite the fact that they are good friends, I have been quite nervous and visibly shaky but did manage to calm my nerves, keep my best poker face on and try and look super professional ;) However, at a...

Hello geeks, This is my first post although, I have been quietly addicted to this fantastic forum for a little while now! I would be so grateful if any of you could take a moment and tell me what you love about your job. My big question is, what is it that you love about being a nail tech...
