    Industry Falsehood & Fallacy

    Hi all :) Do you find our industry is rife with falsehood & fallacy? Practically everyday I hear another! Last night I heard one from my waxing tutor. We were all having a chat 'session' about differnt waxes, when we got onto hard, non-strip wax. My tutor just closed her eyes, shook her head...

    Fiberglass systems, are they all the same?

    Hi there Fiber-Geeks :hug: (notice that i'm using the American spelling, I think it makes a bit more sense actually!) Due to the fact of Fabric# being dis-continued, :cry: , I thought it was time to get to know some other brands... I understand that the different viscosities of the adhesives...

    'Capping' (NNO) How much is enough?

    Hi knowledgeable Geeks, :) a wee question for you... At the moment I'm working on my natural nail overlays using Gel & Fiberglass, and I'm unsure about the 'capping' stage of things. How much is enough? Do you simply apply product to the very edge of the f/e, or do you go over onto the...

    Fabric# disaster, why?!?

    Hiya All, after doing a good few decent sets of Fabric# tip & overlay on my nail trainer, and one good set on another human, I decided to road-test it on my nails...

    Change to Forums?

    Is it just me, or has this fab site just been tweaked & impoved? Just noticed that the 'Main' forum's called the Nail Geek, theres a skin Geek now too! Has this happened today, or am I a bit lacking in the observational skills dept? :lol:
