Laura, great to hear your mum is treatment free for 4 years, and yes it makes you feel great when your nails looks beautiful but every other part of your body feels awful. I do them myself, I had just started out in the nail industry when I was diagnosed, and my grand (naive) plans of still...

Thank you for your replies. Squidernetball, what your saying makes perfect sense. I had originally asked about massage when I was first in hospital as my arms had doubled in size, but they said lymphatic massage was contraindicated with lymphoma. It's something to look forward to, but then they...

Kezcows, I'm currently undergoing treatment for Lymphoma and have been advised by my haemato-oncologist not to have massage. I would benefit greatly from the relax purposes of massage as its something I've always enjoyed. Is this something you would agree with? Not that I would go against what...

I got an invite, depending on hospital apps, I'm hoping I'm well enough to go. I've so missed nails!

I personally haven't had any problems with lifting, in fact my Gelish has stayed on longer, I think that's due to less washing up, housework etc- there's got to be a positive in this cancer malarkey somewhere eh?! It will make her feel pampered and will give her something lovely to look at when...

I'm having chemotherapy at the moment and do my own nails. I haven't had any problems. In fact it lifts me having nice nails when every other feminine part of me has been taken away by the chemo.

I had this too when Vinylux first launched. Ive not done nails for a while, apart from my own, due to Being unwell, so am only about halfway through next bottle. It's not gone gloopy so far. I don't believe there is a need to shake/roll the top coat, as only the colours have the little silver...

I used to struggle with removals, until I ordered the wheat bag. The heat really helps, especially in winter when hands are cold. I use it on myself too for removals.

I'm undergoing Chemotherapy at the moment and am pleased to report that I'm not having problems with Gelish, it's lasting fine with no lifting.

I've just placed my order! I've been watching this thread for sometime, and have decided to go for it. I can't wait to try married to mauve as a gel!

I did the design course last year and it was brilliant, the techniques are easy when you know how, some are a little trickier than other- but practice makes perfect. As pinkthistle said, the trainers have all the colours, so you can have a play with them all- this obviously means you leave with...

Thanks ladies for all your lovely comments and encouragement. Nat Nat, if you have details of her blog could you pm me them, I'd be interested to read her blog.

The blue is lovely, the red is quite a popular colour of mine without the magneto effect. I love the silver one though, subtle with a hint of sparkle.

I can't remember my login and am now blocked!! I hope I'm not missing too much.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum- but it's related to nails and my disappointment of not being able to do them. I was really looking forward to my first Christmas as a nail tech, I had built up a decent size client base over the year and had got loads of bookings for the festive season...

Its brilliant! Highly reccommend it. its great playing with all the colours that the educators have too - i finished the course with a long wish list of colours.

I'm having the same problem, and was going to ask if anyone else had tried and could recommend any other files, they are quite expensive to be replacing every couple of clients.

my forbidden love amd good gossip, this picture does not do this combination justice- its amazing! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4

Nessa1980, I used Sheek White as a base, and then 2 thin coats were enough to cover. I also left it to settle a bit as suggested by TLC Lisa. I'm so pleased with it now, I wont be dreading it the next time someone asks for it. Thanks Geeks
