Hey everyone :) I've recently bought a load of gorgeous glitter pots and have been having a play about with them tonight. I'm finding it so much harder to make a glitter gradient with them than I do with my Gelish glitters and trends. Currently I've been doing base, cure 2 x colour (or 3)...

Hi everyone, I've decided to post my reviews of Gelaze by China Glaze as none that I've seen online have answered quite what I wanted to know about the product. I still don't think Gelaze is available in the UK (if it is, it's not yet in my Salon services store) but I stocked up when I was...

I know a lot of you are against DIYers but that is how I started out. So I'm on my holidays and I decided I'd treat myself, my nails were getting to be a bit grown out and needed redoing. I went to a nail bar that advertised CND Shellac power polish so I went in and they asked what I had on my...

Hi everyone, A client has asked me today if I'd be able to do a tartan pattern on her nails, I've sent her pictures of some decals I've found and some foils but she said she doesn't like any of them. Would anyone be able to suggest a free hand tutorial? I've tried with striping my acrylic...

Happy New Year ladies and gents, I was wondering if anyone could help me find a certain colour that's Gelish... A girl I met last night had the most gorgeous glitter on her nails, the picture really doesn't do it justice! The glitters like a holographic/rainbow type effect and it's got bit...

I'm so annoyed, my gelish lamp broke half way through a pamper party nails I was doing, I hadn't even done one client!!! Luckily I have a friend with an old gelish uv lamp she doesn't use but I'm having a meltdown here! I'm going to have to keep lending hers because I can't afford a new lamp...

Hi everyone, I'd like to find a way of storing my bottles of gel varnish in my current bag. I LOVE the bag I've got at the moment and don't want to buy another. I love the Roo ones but I don't need anything else to carry round, the case I've got at the moment has all the space I need but I'd...

I've just ordered Vegas Nights and am so excited to start using it, I was wondering if anyone had any swatches of it over different colours? Also just ordered You Glare I Glow, not very Christmassy I know but I've wanted it for ages!

Sorry for the late post geeks (if you're in the uk like me) I usually do my nails late on on a night and I'm really annoying myself now because I can't get my nails filed quickly and evenly. I used to have a nail tech who I'd go to, I'd do her nails and she'd do mine. Since she moved away I'm...

Hi everyone, Was just wondering if anyone had any tips to stop the gelish TIO getting contaminated from strong colours. I only have this problem with two of my colours, I've tried dry brushing before applying TIO but I don't think it's helping much. At the moment I'm just cleansing the TIO...

Yesterday I was doing a new clients nails (gelish on natural nails) and she said "Could I book in for infills on these in about two weeks, how much do you charge for infills by the way?" I was never taught to do infills on Gelish, do people actually offer this? I was a bit shocked...

I'm having some problems with Gelish layering. I've been trying a few tonight because everyone on here seems to be on about it, I've been so excited all week to try it out. I've currently pulled out these colours: Bella's Vampire High Voltage Sunrise in the City Sheek White Pink...

Hi everyone, I've had a Harmony nail file (240 grit) and buffer (100/180 grit) and done maybe 4-5 clients nails (plus my own nails twice) and I've noticed that they've blunted really quickly. Is this really common? I've never used their files before but decided I wanted everything with the...

Hi everyone :) I'd just like to know what prices I should charge to apply structure gel with the gelish, a nail salon in my area doesn't charge any more than a gelish application but I think I should charge extra for it because it's extra product used. They only charge £16 for gelish and I...

Hi there, I've been looking on the forums for a few weeks now as I'm going to be doing a Gellux nail course in September (there aren't many branded courses in my area). I'd like to know how similar the processes are for Gellux, Gelish and Shellac and also which are best for nail art as that's...
