Hello ladies I'm loving the new vinylux polish but I do have one bug bear, the top coat! When I open a new bottle it goes on like a dream but once it gets about half way down (I think its about half way as I cant see how much product is left in the bottle exactly) its thick to the point that...

So I received my order of Vinylux this morning and when I took the brush out of my Locket Love I found half a brush. I don't know if you can tell by the attached picture, wondering what I can do as its only the one and its not for retail but personal use, I have an old top coat bottle do you...

Does anyone know where I could get one of these spa manicure bowls used in the Spa manicure tutorial? Or is there a particular name for it so I could do a search?

Unfortunately I've had a client that's had a bad reaction to the CND Sentsations lotion, It's the first time she's ever had a reaction to any type of lotion and doesn't suffer from any skin allergies or disorders. Could it be the perfume in the lotion? She is taking medication for depression so...

Hi geeks I have an elderly client that has been having regular CND spa manicures to get her nails into shape, she suffers with quite bad peeling on three of her nails. In the past she's had Shellac on a few occasions and even when I've lightly buffed away the peeling and used Brisa smoothing...

I've started to look around for stencils that could be used with additives, and was looking at the airbrush stencils, I don't own any as I never got into airbrushing, just wondered if anyone had tried using them with the additive or mica powders?

A regular manicure client of mine is thinking of having gelish or shellac over the Christmas period. She has recently had a pace maker fitted and is in her mid 80's. Are heart or circulatory conditions a contra indication? When I did my Gelish training it wasn't mentioned that it was. But I...

There used to be a thread on here about the strangest things clients have said to you, or weird requests but I cant find it, so i'll post this here. A client just phoned me as her dog isn't looking to well, and thought because I had two dogs maybe I could pop over and have a look at her...
