    Unidentified soak off gel/polish

    I don't have heated mitts yet, as i do plan on getting some in the near future, but i did wrap her hands in a warm towel to "speed up" the processes, it did nothing :eek:

    Unidentified soak off gel/polish

    I am still kinda mad about this, my client was furious as well, i do not understand why would these "professionals" lie about what they are using or use bad products, don't they want their clients coming back? I live in a very small town and things like this will go around quickly and reach...

    Unidentified soak off gel/polish

    Gelish removal leaving burning sensation

    Thank you all and you are right, i though that after explaining it properly that they could do it themselves if needed but i guess that isn't the case for everyone. Of course the first thing i write before the removal instructions is to say that they should always go to a professional for...

    Changing acrylic brand

    Thank you all with your replies, I am still new at doing acrylics as i have not had alot of "real" practice on it with actual people, mostly on my trainer, there is no nubar trainer here to help and the girls at the store are not very helpful. I really wish i had the option to the get samples...

    No clients

    When you say you get bubbles under the nail you mean under the tip? if that is the case you need to use more resin. if the main problem is lifting from the sides the 2 basic problem will be you are not doing a very good job of cleaning the sides and/or your product runs to the sides. Try to do...

    No clients

    I do not want this to sound rude or anything but before worrying about getting clients you should worry about getting better at your job since you do say the nails you do don't last, I am still new at this also and i also don't really have much clients other then friends or family but i still...

    Advice needed on acrylics

    Thank you Christine Mary for your input, as i said i have considered that and to be honest it will save me so much time, i just do not how my client will feel about it because she said she wants l&p nails and really hates the filling that needs to be done to take the gel off. Speaking on the...

    Advice needed on acrylics

    I am sorry but i can not exactly visualize what you are describing, so if i get this right you put your white bead to the the side where you want the high end to be and kind of drag it down to the low side?

    Advice needed on acrylics

    That is a really good idea that i did consider but i don't know if my client will be ok with that, i was thinking doing pink structure with acrylic and paint the white with gel, i will need to do this on a fake nail first to see how the result is, but the reason i am doing this in l&p is because...

    Do you charge extra for this?

    I always ask my clients to remove any existing nail polish before coming as this will save us both time, of course a lot of the times they had not removed it well and i still need to remove the little bits of polish left and other clients come with fully painted nails, I would not charge extra...

    Water marbelling?

    I think the things you need to notice is the water temperature, not hot or cold either, you should not use thick polishes because those will not distribute well in the water, and generally you need to be fast with this, have all the colors you want to use already open and at reach and drop them...
