Had 2 new clients yesterday. Old school friend and her friend. Everything was fine I was pleased with the nails and they seemed very happy too. Last night I get a text off my friend "hi where did you do your training I'm thinking of doing nails now too". I spent months looking at sites...

I had a set of L&p and another gellux booked in for today at the same address. One of the girls text asking if I could do their friend gellux toes at the same time. I told her not a problem and gave the price. This morning I got a text saying " the toes are sick but we will see you at 1" I've...

My mum has quite bad eczema and is on very strong steroid creams for it. This seems to be thinning her nails. Her constant scratching seems to be causing ski jump nails too. I was thinking solar oil would be the best thing to use to help with this. I've told her to try to make sure she washes...

And I've gotten 18 likes in 24 hours which I think is pretty good. And just got my first enquiry! Says she will be in contact on Saturday to book for next week! Felt a bit down that I had so many likes and shares and no enquiries but this is the start! Just had to share with someone and it's...

Just got my lamp and some colours today and was wondered do you put base coat on colour pops?

As the title says really. We know about under curing gel but can you "overcure"? Would it effect the product in any way? I was just thinking today while I did my ironing. Always think of random stuff when doing housework. I've never done gel or had and gel polish etc so I've no idea if...

How do you do it? I've tried and tried but I can't seem to get the right position! My left hand is not a problem. My right hand looks awful and it's the one I use most so I need it looking good to show off! And I need the practise!

Evening everyone. I'm being minxed tomorrow for the first time and would like to know what the proper procedure entails. Hoping to train and offer this service too so I am trying to try out a lot of the things I want to offer but also find out of it is being done correctly. Kind of sussing out...

Afternoon everyone. I am trying to sort out the start of my business and thought it would be a good idea for us all to compile a list of the suppliers we use and what for. There are loads of threads on where to get certain things but no where we can get a list of everyone without trawling...

I'm trying out a new gel called magnetic ATM. I have the Gellux top coat over it but tonight I decided to try out my new OPI that I bought this week but I've no idea how I can take it off! Can I just use a non-acetone remover? Will that take off the top coat too or just the varnish? Sounds...

I'm doing my first proper set of nails today. Just on my mum but in still treating it as if she were a "proper" client. Not sure what we are going to do just yet. Either white tips with pink powder or just a NNO to thicken her natural nail and strengthen it do she gets used to the feeling of...

I'm still training and now I've built up enough confidence using my nail trainer I'm looking to practise on some real nails. I've posted on my fb asking for friends to pm me but as soon as I say I will be charging a nominal fee just to cover my costs and fuel none if them are interested! They...

Just wondered what all you mobile techs use when doing L&P? You always have some liquid left after doing a set and in a salon the techs normally just use it on the next client but mobiles would have to discard it which would lead to higher overheads. Is there such a thing as a dish that's...

This is my first critique so be gentle but not too gentle. The pic looks like there are bubbles in the nails but IRL there isn't which is odd. Also I have checked the lines of light and they are pretty good but not 100% IMO so the blob on the middle finger is just a shadow from my lights...

Hi all. Popping over from nails for advice. I have had 4 Hollywood now from 2 different waxers but I'm still not happy but it may just be me. As far as I was aware, a Hollywood was everything off front and back. Is this right? What I have received so far I would call a Brazilian. Everything off...

Say a client came to me wearing enhancements from another salon and they used CND but I used Entity could I just rebalance them using Entity products as long as it's the same kind of system ie L&P or Gel? Or would they need to be removed and redone completely? If all the client wanted was an...

My brush is new and is round. But it needs to be flat for it to work the L&P properly. Any tips for getting it to be flat or does it just take time and I will be able to get it to be flat to shape and blend the acrylic through use? I hope that makes sense lol.
