    What do you recommend for bitten nails-Brisa Lite or hard gel?

    As the title says I use brisa lite for my sculpts but would a hard gel be more suitable? These nails are very small and severely bitten.

    Why does the natural nail curl away from the plastic tip?

    One of my clients has got tips and brisa lite gel on and when her free edge gets longer (about 3/4 mm or so ) it starts to curl away from the tips that i applied. Her natural nails are very thin and paper like :(, so i was just wondering why her free edge would do this? Can anyone help? xxx

    The "Heated Mitts" debate

    The using heated mitts debate is very interesting. I've found using heated mitts very useful for removing Gelish, but i must add I am a little concerned.
