    Airbrushing

    Although I have been given lots of advice on how to apply topcoats to the finished airbrushed nail, it never seems to stay on. I have no problem whatsoever with airbrushing, it's lightly sprayed, dry by the time it hits the nail and looks perfect even after I have applied the topcoat. The one...

    Creative Retention+ and EZflow powders

    I use both Creative and Ezfow, I'm not keen on the HD monomer I prefer to use Creative monomer but really like the brightness of the HD white powder. It was just a thought, but I will take your advice and stick to the same brands. Thanks for your responses.

    Creative Retention+ and EZflow powders

    I know you can use EZflow glitters with Creative monomers, but can you use the other EZflow powders, i.e HD or APolymer with the Creative monomers and still get perfect results?

    Is doing enhancements not for me??

    Whatever you do don't give up. I was exactly like you, had the exact same feelings and was so close to giving up. I always panicked when asked to do enhancements because I was worried they wouldn't last, they'd break, lift etc and I would get a bad reputation. So like you I concentrated on...

    Has anyone seen these in the uk?

    Minx nails was demonstrated at Olympia in May, so they are being introduced to the UK. I wasn't that keen on them, they are far too fiddly for me. Think they would be a great for anyone who does silk or fibreglass. The finish is fab though.

    Training with Anne Swain

    I trained with Anne Swain last night and I have to say, she was absolutely fantastic. I mainly do natural nail treatments because I've never been confident doing extensions, oh I do them, but worry every time because my application is not that good and spend forever filing. After last night...

    My husband is whinging about the smell of Monomer

    I've had several rows with mine about the smell. I do more mobile work than home work, I do actually prefer working from home but the smell is an issue. I now go out to the garage to practice new designs etc, just to escape the moaning. I spend so much time in the garage that we have now...

    Star Nails GF21 Quattro UV Gel

    I've just purchased a bottle of Quattro UV Gel, Jackie at Liberty Nails uses it on her airbrushed designs and thinks its great, so I thought I would give it a go. It states it can be used on all nail systems including natural nails and over nail polish. I assume that if using over nail polish...

    Nail Gems positioned around the smile line

    Ahh, yes, sounds good to me. Will have a little practice beforehand. I feel at ease already. The awful visions of chasing nail gems for hours and trying to make them stay put is slowly disappearing............thank you both very much.

    Nail Gems positioned around the smile line

    A client is getting married in July and wants nail enhancements. I was going to do pink and white with diamonds on the ring fingers, then finish of with NSI glaze n go. She has now asked for diamonds to be positioned around the smile lines of every finger. My only concern is how do I keep the...
