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...

hi geeks, does anyone have any tips for getting full coverage? I find it really patchy after 2 coats and need 3 sometimes 4 coats. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I have just booked onto the GHG course for next month. although very excited, I'm a bit nervous about it not being about the natural nail. I have seen my own nails grow and be more healthily than they have ever been due to Gelish and really promote it as being for the natural nail, which most of...

Hi Geeks, is there a true clear uncoloured Shellac? If so what's the colour called? I'm asking on behalf of one of the girls at work who has shellac and it has a purple tone to it when it catches the light? She has been asking her lady who does it for a true clear, but has been told this is the...

Hi Geeks, I'm using vinylux on myself, I paint down the middle of the nail and then paint down the side of each nail, on the last sweep I get a ridge in the middle of the nail of polish- I'm thinking thin to win- but also trying to get full coverage with 2 coats. Am I still using too much...

Has anyone had any experience of gelish being stained by nicotine? I have a new client who is a smoker, who asked if the gelish would be discoloured by smoking, and I didn't know the answer, but know some ladies/gents who might! She will be mainly having clear on her nails as she isn't allowed...

I believe this could be the answer to a lot of my clients problems. I have a lot of nurses who like the colours but aren't allowed them for work, if they have a few days holiday they are a bit put off by the removal of gelish, so this will be great as they can remove themselves, with still...

I've just had a text from a client saying that a nail had fallen off. I used gelish structure gel for the first time, I had told the client I hadn't had the training in it and only had knowledge from my own reading on here and you tube videos, the client wanted me to apply and said she would...

This may have been asked before, but I have done a search and it didn't come up. Can people with nut allergies use solar oil? Thanks in advance!

Hi Geeks, I'm only trained in gelish and one of my clients would like me to apply gelish to her toes, however she has acrylic on them currently. My question is can these be soaked off? I have the gelish remover and just received some d solve, will these products work?

I've not long started out and am still learning, and gaining confidence. I've had some advice from some lovely geeks on here on where I may be going wrong with the removal of gelish. Anyway, yesterday I went to a friends house to remove and reapply gelish (using the technique reccomended) I had...

hi all, im having problems with gelish removal and hoping someone may be able to help. so I start by taking the shine off the gelish, then soak in the gelish removal solution, wrap in foil and leave for 15 mins. however it doesnt lift off and takes several attempts before coming off? its really...

Hi geeks, I'm quite new to gelish, and am still learning. I found the gelish quite hard to remove so far. (any tips on that greatly received!) I went to a client tonight to remove gelish without reapplication due to work issues. It took loads of soaking last time to remove the previous gelish...

Hi all, hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I wasn't able to post much before Christmas as it was a bit hectic! However, I did manage to practice on some much willing volunteers before Christmas! No surprise there! I've only just started out with nails and have many questions still. When you...

Hi all, I've been lurking on this site for ages, and now I've finally saved, payed, and passed the course I feel I can join in! The work that you guys do on nails is amazing and an inspiration! I hope with practice I can be that good one day! For now though you may have to put up with questions!
