I've got an 18 year old daughter. It wouldn't be my ideal choice for her to have a baby so young, but if she did, I would support her all the way. I would actually be quite upset if I thought she couldn't tell me something as important as that. My Mum had me at 18 too, so I've got a nice young...

We get that effect with gel polish by applying the 2 colours normally with the first coat and then on the second coat, we apply 2 or 3 colours as required and use a small detail brush to blend them, then cure. We also don't charge any extra for it in our salon as long as we can do it in the...

grrrr... so annoying I feel your pain - we've all done it! :)

To help put your mind at rest and so you can enjoy the rest of your holiday..... What reaction is she saying she got from the tint? Is she even complaining about that in any case? I don't know anything about tinting, so can't comment on this... If the nails came off straight away and before...

I was also going to suggest applying your topcoat gel all over the nail as usual to finish and then apply it a bit thicker where you want to apply the crystals. Apply the crystals and then cure. You can seal over again with your topcoat gel, but yes, it will take the bright shine off the...

I had a quick look at your fb page and you have a pic of some natural tips on there. You are charging a very cheap student rate and absolutely everyone I know gets nervous with their first paying client. I still remember my first paying manicure in a salon about 15 or 16 years ago - I was...

You can call or email us at NCO London HQ no problem at all and we will get to the bottom of why you are getting lifting without you having to buy any other (and possibly non compatible) products :) regards Gina

If anyone needs extra tuition on top (rarely I might add) we also offer skill building classes. Our classes are very small - usually only 4 to 6 students We also run Open days and workshops - some of them are free. All complete nail tech beginners get some one to one tuition too. The original...

When we were having our gel polish formulated, our ideal was an all in one gel polish. The reason we decided against it in the end was because of staining issues and removal issues. I would be amazed if there is all in one gel polish in a rich dark colour that stays on for 2-3 weeks and doesn't...

Never trust anyone who feels the need to bad mouth their competitor! If they have a good product or reputation themselves, they shouldn't need to!! I've got 5 nail techs in my salon - Customers sometimes ask me which one is the best!! How do you answer that!! Here is a link to cosmetic product...

nice, neat, clean and organised - the sign of a good Nail Tech :)

Consumers won't tidy the nails properly, they won't be as hygenic (and could risk bacterial infections!) and above everything, they won't look as nice. Nail polish is sold everywhere, but it does not stop clients coming into our salon to PAY to have a revarnish :) regards Gina

As a gel user, I like to use a thin layer of coloured gel first and then a glitter layer. For example if I do a silver glitter tip, I use a silver coloured gel first to get a crisp smile line (and higher coverage with a thinner finish) and then go over with the silver glitter gel (premixed)...

This will be a silk or fibreglass strip. It looks like a mesh piece of fabric. You can use it with gel or with resin & activator to repair a split broken nail. regards Gina

I have been responding very quickly to all the emails (sometimes about 7 or 8 of them per day) you are sending me, you have been in to shadow me whilst I am working and attended our last open day (all of which is FREE support) and all of this support is AFTER you have completed your course - I...

it is speed - the LED lamps cure some gels faster. Gina x

I am from NCO but we have coloured gels as well, so thought it might help if you are having probs trying to get the colours you want from NSI Gina x

Competition is a healthy thing :) We supply the Blixz as well - if we could have supplied Minx, we would, but we couldn't, so Blixz it is :) It's not just a case of people copying - it's a case of it's a great product and we want it too - not just to supply, but also for use on our customers...

soak off gels... applied very thin - like nail polish and should be viewed as an alternative to nail polish (hence all this talk about hybrid I think?) buff off gels... much harder wearing, can also be brushed on, but most people 'build' with it to create strength. Coloured gels are often...
