I currently use CND Shellac and Brisa Lite, but I'm having a go with NSI UV Builder gels, (on myself) Can anyone tell me whether or not, I can cure the NSI UV Gel in my CND 36W UV lamp? Thanks in advance x

Does anyone keep their Pandora bracelet on whilst doing normal girly things - washing hands, showering, or even bathing the dog! I was told that I should even remove my Pandora ring before I use the rest room.

Any ideas on how to deal with this problem? The gel enhancements on this lady have been picked off, or pinged off! Nails in badly delaminated condition, very flexible, with some of the gel still in place. She would like her nails looking 'nice', for the weekend. Must be honest, first time of...

Tried to use 'caviare' on a client last week. Was a bit of a s#d to do, but thought it looked quite good. (Albeit a bit rough!) Monday morning I received a text to say that all the 'caviar' had dropped off and she removed the remnants with nail polish remover. It couldn't have happened to a...

Quick query, I'm out of D-solve and have 4 clients needing Shellac services. What can I use instead of D-solve? Any suggestions? :irked:

Hi, I've nipped over from nails for a bit of advice re essential oils. Can anyone recommend a good quality, pure essential oils company/website/shop on line? They are for my personal use. Is there a particular brand that you could recommend? Thanks in advance, :)

Just popped over from nails for a bit of advice. I have quite a lot of downy soft white hair growing on the sides of my face. I was told that I could have it waxed off. I'm 56, so no spring chicken, but would prefer not to look like my husband! I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance :)

Just typed in the nail geek and was directed to a site on ebay! Not sure if The Nail Geek will be too impressed with it. On the other hand, he may just choose to ignore it. It's the first time I've come across it, is it new to anyone else, or have I just stumbled across it by pure chance?

Just as it says really. I want to trial one or the other, would appreciate your feedback :) Thank you in advance.

:irked: Can anyone help me with my tax returns problem? I know it's a while off being necessary, but I'm slowly starting to panic. I spent an hour and a half last week trying to fill out my very first return, only to see on a pop up that I had successfully filled out 1% of the form :( I have...

Has anyone tried the Gelux hard gel? And if so, how did you find it? If it smells as bad as the Aspire acrylic liquid, please tell me. I can't afford to waste £95!:) If you have a favourite, what is it? Thanks in advance for any info :)

As it says ladies! After my adventures with the acrylics, (see post entitled Good Grief) I have decided to let this kit go to a good home. The only thing missing is about 5mls of the liquid. There is everything you need to get going, and I'll even throw in the acrylic tip cutters. I don't want...

Here was I about to spend an hour or two practising my acrylic application. (Having read Geeg's book several times) I felt ready to start. I had everything laid out, ready to work along with the book, all very exciting. Oh my Great Aunt Flora - the smell nearly lifted me off the chair! It's...

Ok, so here's the thing...I recently went to do a Shellac service on a lovely lady, who was delighted with her 'new' nails, so much so, that she asked if I would do her toe nails. No problem there, I hear you cry! Wrong :o Unfortunately there was no little foot stool to sit on, and the lady in...

My husband spotted a sign in a local beauty salon offering Shellac for £10. He then asked me if they could be making a profit with this low price. I said the profit margin must be carved to the bone,. Either that or they're not using legitimate CND products. Anyone else seen super-low prices and...

Hi, I have only been running my little business for a few months, and am slowly working my way through the mountain of paper work HMRC are sending me. I'm just not sure about the VAT issue. Here it comes, daft question - when I have bought things for my business I have kept every receipt, and...

I am not sure what do do, and it's a problem of my own making :smack: Last year, as I was starting my new venture to become a nail tech, a friend of mine, who is pretty much house-bound, offered to be my hand model. All well and good, and she was very patient with me, so I have kept doing her...

:confused: Removed a client's Shellac today, after removing the CND wrap, what was left on the nail plate looked almost like sugar! Would appreciate some advice.

I have just had the misfortune of being chided by a member of the Nail Geek forum, and that was followed up by being "hearted" by several others. What a sad situation, when someone who is new to this forum, is treated so dismissively by a more seasoned veteran. I have only just joined the forum...
