I‘ve been out of the industry for a few years due to extended maternity leave and then Covid. Previously I’d used refectocil for my lash and brow tints but all my stuff is now about 3 years so feel better getting rid and starting again with new. Whilst sorting through my kit I did find a tube...

I am 4 days overdue with baby and so am not doing clients this week! I have a regular lady who would have been due her infills at the weekend, she knew I wouldn't be able to do them. I have someone covering some of my regulars but as this client can only do evenings or weekends and needs mobile...

Does anyone else get narked by this or am I just being unreasonable? My Mum has relatives staying with her this weekend and I am going over there tonight for tea. Also have to go back Sunday for Easter lunch and have met with much dissapproval as I am not available for duty tomorrow due to...

Just finished my own nails, packing up to go out to clients, lid not on my white properly, dropped it, no white!! I have one client this afternoon going from colour to French and the same first thing Tuesday morning, so all before I can get anymore white. Could I use my white gel, cure and...

My Niece has just told me that silk and fibreglass have been dropped from the level 3. I think this is really sad. This week alone I have had 3 Clients that have split of broken natural nails and I have used silk to repair before gel polish, saving the nail and keeping even lengths. I know...

I am looking at the feasibility of training in lashes to add on to my current treatments. I am mobile though. How do other carry out a patch test? If a Client is x amount of miles away it wouldn't be viable to go to them to do the patch test and then back again to carry out the treatment. Or...

After several years out of nails I am now back and am trying to catch up on the new nail art trends, more so how to achieve them! I have a bride to be who has asked me for this. She has never had anything done with her nails before, they are quite short and so wants extensions first and then...

I love glaze 'n go, am just looking at the go colour range and am quite tempted. Has anyone else used it? Good or bad reviews?

Just been to a client who chose a particular colour to go with a matt top coat. Came to top coat and it had set like what I can only describe as jelly in the bottle. It's the first time I've ventured into matt nails and so have only used it on my colour wheels. Has anyone else come across...

We are organising a hen do for a friend, she is very much into quiz shows, so we re trying to put together a family fortunes quiz type bit to the night. I have been tasked with the question:- "What is the most common cause of breaking a false nail" {please ignore referance to false nails...

I am mobile and incredibly lucky in that in that I have a lovely, loyal client base, a lot of which are good friends or have become good friends. The downside to this is that I don't have a vast experience of new clients and problem nails. This afternoon I have been asked by a friend of a...

I have just started polish pro on paying Clients, having trialled it on myself, family and friends for long enough to be confident and iron out any problems. Am doing one of my Guinea Pigs tomorrow and she has asked if she can have the scarlet polish pro with black crackle polish over the top...

I have one Client who I go to every 2 weeks, she regularly has pocket lifting on either one of her thumbs or index fingers. Never anywhere else, and usually on her right hand, she's right handed. She has tips with NSI balance gel. She swears blind that she is always very careful and never...

I have two clients who are constantly damaging their thumb nails by undoing the clip on their Pandora bracelets. Does anyone else have this problem and have a solution to it? They both live on their own so unless they drag a man back every night can't get someone else to take them off for...

I have a Client who has had coloured gel for 2+ years now and has always been really happy. She has cottoned on to shellac, gelish etc. and said she wanted the same as she's be able to change colour more regularly. I use NSI balance gels and have started using polish pro but at the moment...

Attack of the Sprouts Thought the Anits might appreciate this!

Haven't been doing nails for a long time due to an injury. In the mean time I have been having my nails done by someone else but want to start doing them myself again. My question is none of my gels have been used for about 8 months, I have never used gel this old before. Will it still be...

Does anyone use this, due to their VAT free offer over the next few days I am going shopping and was wondering whether the new brush on white is any good. Is it tipexy white or similar to their bright white, which isn't at all bright or particularly white which I actually prefer as it looks...

Has anyone else had any problems with them? Received their catalogue with Scratch and placed an order with them over 2 weeks ago and not heard or received anything. Emailed them last week, no reply. Received their catalogue through the post yesterday so they must have received the order to...

I am still quite new to nails and I really thought I was improving till last night. I put a full set of tips using NSI balance gel on Sunday and by last night three had cracked across the tip and come of completely and two others had started to crack from the side. The gel that was left on...
