    No wipe top coat that doesn't crack?

    I'm struggling with my chrome... my application over NSI glaze n go is going on nicely but when I apply the glaze n go over the top it ends up cracking. I've tried Gelish top it off and it just seeps through the chrome and spoils the finish. What do you all use?

    Make up artist qualification

    11 years ago I passed my BTEC in beauty which also covered make up as a module. My question is should I re train to be able to offer this to clients? Or will my insurance cover me as essentially I already have the qualification. I'm confident in make up so I don't want to pay for a course if...

    Still offer wax & tint if HD trained?

    So I've booked the HD course for November. How many HD stylists still offer clients their regular wax & tint? I have a handful of regulars who I know won't pay the £25+ and it doesn't seem fair to say that's the only option. Do you use your old wax and tint for that so your not eating into your...
