Has anyone seen this on nailsmag.com?? I was looking through the nail art section and apparently there is a new matte TIO from Gelish! Has anyone found this yet anywhere? I'm excited to hear about this! Gelish's Matte French Mani - Technique - NAILS Magazine

Hi all, A client of mine has sent me a photo of her nails and the color has faded to a greenish/blue. Have others experienced this with 'Up in the Blue'? Could anyone suggest a lighter blue Gelish alternative? It would be fine that it faded a bit but i've sculpted half her nails so some...

I know that there is a post which confirms that bacteria and fungi cannot live in nail polish because it is too volatile an environment but I was wondering if this is also true of gel polish?? This post is purely because I am very interested to know. I'm sure that it couldn't because the...

I've just been texted by the shop owner who has said one of her clients is going to Vegas and she loves my nail art so would love me to do a gel design for her. What would you all do for Vegas-esque nails??? I don't want anything tacky like cards or black jack type stuff (sorry if that...

As some of you know, I am officially going to be taking my nail career full time and I am now renting a chair in a salon starting June 4th....But..I can't stop worrying. I am afraid of putting the money forward for my chair, I am worried about paying childcare as I have to have my 2 children...

Hey everyone, So.. I use Young Nails synergy gels and my sculpting gels are self leveling because they are getting warm. It's bothering me because when I sculpt a free edge I hate how it begins to run. Can I store my gels in the fridge? I think I remember seeing that in a thread. Any other...

Just wanted to share my excitement that i'm FINALLY going to be renting a spot in a salon starting in June. I'm terrified but excited all at the same time! Can't wait! It's 2 minutes from my house..very cute and will just be myself and the owner and she seems to be totally on the same page...

Hello lovelies, As most of you know I use Gelish mostly but use YN synergy gel for enhancements so have a separate lamp for it. Just last night I had an interview in a lovely salon and I am super excited! My question is this---i've seen other people post about having covered their UV lamps...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well! I just have a quick question regarding a deal for when I am finally settled into a salon. Have a few interviews and am hoping to be in a salon very soon. I have had a lot of interest on my facebook page so I really don't think I am going to have any...

I'm SO excited!! I live right across the street from a beautiful salon and I took a shot and e-mailed them today with some of my photos and I have just received an e-mail saying that they would love to meet me for an interview this week! I'm so excited but i'm so nervous! Yay.

Hi everyone, I've had a lot of people lately asking me where I buy my products, how I apply Gelish or how they can buy it without having a certificate etc.. They're always online inquiries but I just don't know how to handle them. I say the same thing every time-"I am a certified professional...

Hi all, I've done a search but nothing has really come up with what I am looking for... I did a client's nails yesterday and the nail plates were very short and her nails were quite square. So. She wanted l&p, so I did them and they were nice and thin and looked good but then when I...

Just got the whole shadows collection and will swatch them soon! It took forever for them to get to cosmoprof. I'm so excited!!

Hi guys, One of my friends has a bit of a rash on her thumb and it looks like an allergic reaction as far as i'm concerned. I did her nails last Tuesday and the rash developed on Friday. Does that sound like an allergy to a nail product or would that have typically developed soon after the...

Hi everyone, I've read the past post regarding delamination but I just want some extra reassurance here.. I have a client whose nails I do quite regularly and everything has been great.. However...her last set she unfortunately had to wait quite a while in between fills (over 4 weeks) and I...

Hi everyone, I don't use shellac but I just saw a swatch of Shellac 'Rubble' and I absolutely love it.. Does anyone know if there is a Gelish equivalent??.. I was thinking Medieval madness but it seems a little too pale. Thanks in advance.

I have yet to post anything on here so I thought I might as well go for it. I am posting a critique concerning my l&p application. I am not as strong in l&p as I am in gel. However, i'm still working hard at it and enjoy it very much. These nails that I am posting are a few different shapes...

Hi everyone, I'm being nosey and am interested to know how many of you work full-time in the beauty industry and how many of you work in a few different areas? For example, I am a part-time nail technician and work from home and do mobile visits but I also work part time as a a CSR in a bank...

Hi guys, Sorry if this has been talked about but it seems that I am having an allergy to nfu.oh L&P. I haven't worked with it for a while and I took it out today to try again and now..I am a mess! My nose is running like a faucet, I am wheezing, sneezing, coughing, and my whole face is itchy...

Does anyone else worry about nonprofessionals coming on SG and reading all the expert advice and tips we all provide to each other? I don't know if it is crappy for me to feel concerned about it, but I do. Maybe I feel crappier about it because in Canada the industry is fully deregulated and...
