    CND Shellac separating on application

    Hi I have been doing nails for several years and only use CND polish and products. I do full pep on everyone and scrub-fresh all Nails before starting to paint. I have a couple of clients though who have an issue. I paint base coat and cure and when it comes out of the machine the coating has...

    Removable sculpting gel to replace Brisa Lite

    Hi I've just found out CND are archiving Brisa Lite sculpting gel. Can anyone give me a recommendation to replace it. My clients are gutted! I don't use any tips due to an allergy to nail glue so it must be a product that will work with forms alone. Thanks

    I've done some very heavily pregnant ladies and most of them found lying on their sides comfortable and it was quite easy to wax them like this.

    Nail dust cold like symptoms

    Hi I'd put money on it not being the dust but the cyanoacrylates in the glue you use to stick on tips. It's also in lash glue. I can't have lashes anymore because 5 hours later I get severe flu symptoms that last a week. I don't do acrylics for this reason either. The cyanoacrylate messes with...

    SPMU, sink and environmental health advice please

    It's normal to have a hand wash only sink in food businesses (my last trade) but personally not heard of it in beauty though I can also see why it would be same rule. Can you wash the items in a bowl that you use exclusively for tools and keep sink off hand wash? Worth asking. I've always found...

    What is going on with Tibby Olivier?

    What a load of crap ... Worst PR statement I've ever read. At least she admits that 'wrapture' is plain old pallet wrap that's she's charging 4 times the price for. As for the rest of it pfffft!

    Difficult wax today-tips please

    I don't normally mind but honestly Ive never seen hair like it. When I had finished, her bottom, which she didn't ask me to do looked like a cute furry pet sat on her!

    Difficult wax today-tips please

    Thank you all for your help. I'll definitely try some of these next time. I think all fours would have helped with stretch definitely as although slim she had a crease between bottom and leg which was tricky. I use cartridges because I have carpet and worry about dripping wax but do have a pot...

    Difficult wax today-tips please

    Hi I had a lady in today for a full leg wax. Her lower legs were ok but from knee upwards (right over her bottom and up her back) she had quite fine, downy but very dark hair and loads of it. It was almost like fur. I found it really difficult to remove it all and used a whole cartridge of...

    Can anyone recommend a nice Shellac French pink?

    I think the range of pinks for Shellac is poor - all too pale/white. The only one I really like is grapefruit sparkle.
