Geeks i desperately need your help please. Acrylics are really stressing me out. I have only just qualified in L&P and am using Harmony ProHesion. I have only been doing them on myself so far, as too scared to do a real client. This is because so far every set I'm doing is just not lasting...

Hi Geeks, Where can I buy IBD from? I don't want to buy online as I'd like to see the colours in the flesh first. Thanks, Sarah xx

Hi everyone, I recently took advantage of my free listing on yell.com and since then I've had a lady call me and offer me advertising on their website for £10 a month. Does anyone else do this? Is it worth it? I'm just starting out and struggling to get new clients but wondered if this would...

Hi Geeks, I really need your help. I trained with Harmony earlier in the year. I just did the Gelish course. I absolutely loved it and the training I received was fab. I now want to do an acrylic course and would love to train with Harmony again as would love to stick with one brand. However...

Hi geeks, I just received a free copy of Scratch magazine in the post. I've been meaning to sign up for this magazine for a while and weirdly one shows up today! Question is how did it get here? They knew my business name too. Not that I'm complaining obv as I can't wait to read it. Do they...

Apologies in advance if this is a really silly question. But I wanted to get some acrylic paint for nail art as sometimes I find Gelish is not opaque enough when doing thin lines etc. Is it literally just the acrylic paint you buy in an art shop such as hobbycraft? Also can I use my Crystal...

One of my clients would like this next. Do you think this is a stamp? If so, does anyone recognise it? Thanks for your help everyone x

Hi geeks, I recently purchased some structure gel after tagging this onto my training with Harmony. I used this on one of my clients last week as she had tiny pits in her nails but I realised I hadn't decided on pricing. What do you charge on top for structure gel if being used on all the...

I just recently bought this colour and applied it to a colour pop. When I was applying it I noticed the consistency is extremely thin and watery and it literally needed about 6-7 coats to get an good coverage. Has anyone else experienced this with this colour? Xx

I am so excited and nervous as I have my first "real" client tomorrow. I am really really nervous and really hope I do a good job. But I need your help geeks re pricing. She is having a full set of Gelish with an additive fade on every nail. How much extra would you charge for an additive...

Hi Geeks, Inspired by another geek (jojo) I attempted the snake skin effect using CND additives and some netting. I've tried it so many times on a colour pop really pulling the netting as tight as possible over the nail, but each time the additives get under the netting somehow and the pattern...

Hi everyone, So today I had my first paying client :) my best friend (she insisted she pay me) but I had a few nightmares! Firstly she has nails that bend downwards as they grow so they were really tricky to paint. Then after using All Dahlia'd Up on her, it just wasn't curing properly in my...

Hi Geeks, I went to Ikea today to check out the Micke desk as been researching on here and it seems a lot of ppl use it. However I noticed the back of the desk is a bit lower and might be a bit difficult for clients to get their legs under. I was wondering if anyone who had this desk had...

Hi Geeks, I've trained with Harmony in Gelish and would love to do more training. However the courses for the above are very close together so can really only do one at this point in time. Which would you recommend and why? I'm very new to this so would hard gel be a bit easier to master than...

Hi everyone, I'm really new here and just building up my collection. I bought loads of lovely glitters and additives at the pro beauty show on Monday but I now need to buy a good collection of brushes. I also need a striping brush to practice nail art. Please could you recommend the best...

Hi geeks, Any ideas on how I could replicate this look (ring finger) with Gelish? Sarah xx

Evening everyone, I started my Gelish training on Tuesday and we were learning about manicure. We practised using cuticle remover cream and then prepping the nail. Obviously using cream helps remove the cuticle much easier but then for Gelish she was telling us that we can just dry prep. Does...

Hi everyone, I start my Gelish course on 4th February and am hoping to start my own business from home. I have already bought lots of colours and the lamp in preparation for my course and have been practising on myself loads. This is what I did today. Please could you lovely geeks give me...
