Its not recommended to apply gel after a wet manicure or pedicure as nails will absorb moisture and its not ideal for the longevity of the gel. A lot of nail techs perform a dry manicure, then apply gel and do the wet part of the service afterwards.

Its not ideal to use Shellac and gel polishes to stamp with. See how you go using a proper stamping polish as they are specially designed for stamping.

Sounds to me that she knows she stuffed up. She has been unprofessional in her work and extremely unprofessional in her approach. Make some noise, demand a refund and cost of your top. Keep harassing her, leave bad reviews where you can. Don't give up. Hopefully she will get sick of you...

I didn’t remove the acrylic as I wanted to maintain the strength acrylic offers and I didn’t file them down much as I prefer to keep them long. Letting nails this long grow out with acrylic still on can compromise your natural nails. The product makes the enhancements top heavy and can cause...

There are different types of tips... full well, half well etc. So perhaps think about which type would be more suitable with liquid and powder.

What you need to understand is that many of us have been members of this forum for many years and yes some of us have formed genuine respect for each other during this time. Its not because we ass kiss, we are grown adults and conduct ourselves in a certain way, which in turn forms that respect...

Wow Trinity, that sounds so horrible. I hope you get on top of it soon. I have stopped doing clients, for just over a year now. To be honest it did not bother me as doing nails was a second job for me, more of a hobby. But doing that, along with working outside of the house as an Office Manger...

Extremely well said Trinity. I have to say you are never rude and have been helpful so much to those who show common courtesy. I hope you are feeling better and are on the flip side of the horrid C19. Best Wishes x

m my point was if you make statements like ' but I know now that no one on here are willing to help ' then why bother asking. You have been rude because you did not get the reply you were hoping for. Trinity was willing to help but then you got defensive and stated ' It’s the second time I’ve...

Then why bother asking questions on here?

Just keep practising and eventually speed will come. When I was starting out I used a training hand and practised as much as I could. The training hand I recommend is TheFlexihand. Its very reasonably priced. https://theflexifinger.com.au/shop/ Although this is the link to the manufacturers...

We have been so fortunate and I praise our government for making tough decisions and the majority of our citizens fir following orders. The fact your MIL took those actions over such a small thing -getting her fricken nails done- just shows selfish behaviour to me and I would not want her in my...

Where I live we have had a total of 563 cases and 4 deaths, in our whole state. It has been handled extremely well here. We were put in lock down for 6 days recently, it ended early and was only 3 in the end. I am not complaining, I do what I am directed to do by our government. My boss feels...

One thing this virus has taught me is to be responsible for your own protection. People's opinions vary so much. Some people think they don't need to wear masks, isolate, use hand sanitizer etc. I am in a high risk group, so I protect myself as much as I can. Luckily it has not been very bad...

Looks like newly applied product to ne. Regardless she has now admitted she went to a salon, the time spent there is irrelevant and she has broken your rules. Its now up to you how you handle the situation. PS if she is lying about visiting a nail salon what else is she lying about?

I get this on my non dominant thumb from gripping the clients finger too hard. It stopped when I stopped doing clients. It was extremely painful.

Arkon mounts. Expensive but fantastic I have The Creator Bundle

Here is a tip to get rid of the flaky hanging pieces. Use a sugar scrub. I do it all the time. I just use it like I am washing my hands. I only use sugar scrub, nothing too course.
