    What's the best cuticle remover for gel nails?

    Orly cutique, no need to deactivate, just clean the nail plate with scrubfresh cuticle away I use only for toes, it works slower

    Skin around fingernail

    All of your fingers look like it? I would go and see a doctor, picture is blurred but from what I see it can be also viral infection. I have seen someting similar a few times, it was hpv virus, didn't look like warts as we know them, so people were totally unaware that something is going on...

    Client had powder gel?

    ?!? Sorry?? Honestly Geeg, stop reading what is not there. And as far as I remember it was thousand times said on this forum what NSS means, and it was always underlined that is does not mean Asian/Chinese salon. I understand it is hot topic in the light of last Scratch's issue, but you are...

    My gosh, her nails grow quick

    I looked at mine - 10 days old, half of her gap. I am service-efficient :), lucky for me I like short nails :).

    Client had powder gel?

    Geeg, nobody mentions Asians here. How did you come to the conclusion that by NSS are meant Asian salons in this thread? Why do you also think, we do not read Scratch? You have found a big market for classes and sales, I am happy for you, but why trash fellow techs here? All the nails I...

    Client had powder gel?

    And there is nothing in between 45 min by NSS and 3 hours by slow nail tech? Amazing, most of nail techs I know make nails under 1,5 hour, including a little bit of nail art. So I guess for her it is rather price issue, not a time issue. Whatever suits her ;).

    You went to NSS salon to get pampered? Ouch.

    Quite pleased!

    But she says, she does not have problems - maybe she is not that busy, maybe she has dozen or two of regulars and they have good nails. It is quite possible, isn't it? Of course there is no perfect system. Although I started using Linkage when I see not a very good nails, splitting and thin...

    Quite pleased!

    I believe you, although you are also probably lucky. I get 2 weeks with no chipping without a problem with clients, but myself - well, quite a different story :) very thin, bendy nails, bad habits - I like to put my fingers in my mouth when I am thinking :), lots of work in gloves - my hands get...

    OPI Gelcolor - colour recommendations

    Are you going to service my clients? Then I can tell you, what they like :D And seriously - I have almost all the colors, I decided to skip frosts, so I do not have bogota, cosmo-not and brisbane, all other colors are great, especially last collection. Although I have a problem with...

    Shellac: unreasonable client

    Blossom DO.NOT.CALL.HER for all it seems it would cause you another bad day, she needs an excuse and use of solar oil is not a problem here, her nails can be in a quite good condition right now I personally do not like techs trashing other techs' work, even when I see nails from NSS shop...

    Taking off gel polish without extensions

    I remove with e-file. So - buff it off.

    Shellac not lasting on myself?

    Exactly my nails, thin, bendy. And the same with Shellac - 4 days and chipping, I have more luck with gelish or gelcolor, 2 weeks when I am careful. So probably nothing wrong with your technique or product, just nails not good enough.

    Clear acrylic mixed with Barry M eyeshadow?

    I was thinking the same, I have got some micas on the shelf, I need to find time to try this. You can mix glitters, so why not micas? And I guess eye shadow is not very different? You have some interesting eyeshadow on your mind? DO not forget to take pics! :)

    Forms doing their job?

    I love Entity forms, glue is crazy :) and they have 3 shapes, standard forms and corrective 2sided forms - you can choose which side suits client's nail shape.

    Fake Shellac, ebay, £10 a set and no insurance!

    No idea. I have two NSS salons 20 meter from us, yet people still come to us and pay two times the price. Low price seekers are not our target, so I do not care.

    Gelish fading

    I have decided to say good bye to gelish. I was re-doing my color pops, I noticed, how different are some colors, but I also noticed, that half of bottles started to cure.. I was taking out big cured pieces of gel, 3 I had to throw away. I guess no more gelish for me, I like to buy variety of...

    Glove or not to glove

    Gloves, always, I do not touch client without gloves. I was working in gloves from the beginning and I got used to it. I use nitril gloves, powder free.
