Hi Sam Sorry! :sad: I have probly missed getting this message to you in time. When I had my salons if a client had a natural nail breakage we would use fiberglass over the whole nail then apply L&P over the top. The weave + the L&P gave you amazing toughness. Use the same mix ratio but work...

Hi As far as I am aware Creative haven't brought out an activator for Solar Manicure. If you like to feel the Dead Sea Salts desolving during the manicure try using a little water, if you don't want to saturate the nails a water spray would be a nice way to apply it (Mist over the hands and...
