    Highlighting foils for soak off?

    I actually had "nail mates" & they came with the foam. Unfortunately the nail mates didn't last long, but I had heaps of foam that came with them. I just cut them to size for the clips. Do you have art & craft or fabric stores near by. They might sell foam. IBD sell foam which could be used...

    Highlighting foils for soak off?

    I find the opposite. But when I first started the pre made foil wraps only had a small piece of cotton. I found it didn't hold enough acetone. Then adding my own just got too fiddly after a while. But I now use little pieces of foam instead of cotton. I find it can hold a little more acetone...

    Highlighting foils for soak off?

    Just throwing it out there, but I don't use foil anymore. I use these little clips & find the process easier & quicker. I have a few sets that I use. That way I can sanitise them & still have some for other clients. I also have ones for toes which are a slightly different shape. Absolutely...

    Can you use any cuticle oil with gel polish?

    I use the ibd lavender cuticle oil. I'm loving it. I find it's not too oily & quickly absorbs into the skin.

    Gelish/Artistic Colour Gloss question

    I'm not 100% sure, but I believe both these products are the same. Possible manufactured by the same place. I know both base coats cure in 10 seconds & they seem the same. Both hybrids. I'm fairly certain they are compatible. Apart from that, I know from experience 'ibd just gel polish' is...

    Daylight LED desk lamp?

    No, they are totally different. Those lamps won't cure gel products

    Arthritis and gel polish removal

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221776152862 I use these. They are fantastic. They are reusable & so much easier than foil. I also use little pieces of foam instead of cotton. It holds more acetone, no stringy bits & reusable. Maybe something like this could work.

    Arthritis and gel polish removal

    More often than not, my gel polish pops off in 1 sheet or pieces. Can you soak for longer? I use little pieces of foam instead of cotton. I find it holds more acetone.

    Friend poaching clients

    Unfortunately, friends/people change. Iv learnt the hard way. It's sad when it happens, but you will learn from the experience both personally & professionally. Over the last 6 months I have noticed with people in my life, they just do what pleases them. So now Iv taken a step back from my...

    Friend poaching clients

    Clients come & go. It's part of business. I saw your other post about your friend when you originally posted it, and I think I agree with most of the comments, that's it time to cut ties with that friend. Obviously you were upset then & your upset now. It's not worth it. Focus on you & your...

    What is this chrome?

    I don't know the actual name, as I didn't buy it, it was given to me to play around with. They are not from the beauty industry, they are from the automotive industry. But they look just like loose eyeshadow. It's a powder. I havnt actually used them on people, only pop sticks, but Iv seen...

    Well, chrome, I keep trying!

    I have natural nails & only work with natural nails. So far it's been ok! I have 2 different chromes. A cheap eBay one which is a little bit courser, this seems to last better. My finer one, I get slight tip wear. But nothing too severe. I think the combination of chrome & top coat is the...
