    Gelish problems

    Hello I am having a hard time with my gelish drying dull at the end of the service when I wipe the dispersion layer, sometimes the colours don't adhere to the foundation and then it all wipes off, it seems to be the same clients this happens with and then with others no problems at all.

    A few application problems with Gelish

    I personally didn't have any luck with the structure gel building over a form. They never got hard enough, it works well for a repair but not for me in the sculpting form. U could try to build it for yourself, but don't use primer on the tip from what I've read, never used tips when I did...

    Using a hard gel over Gelish

    Hello there, from time to time I don't do well with my nails wearing gelish, so tonight I did my nails normally but instead of the top it off I used a hard gel over the nail. I know I'll have to file that top layer off but thinking this will be worth it to get at least two weeks where now I'll...

    Heating towels for services

    I use a slow cooker set on low just make sure that towels are wet enough or they will burn. They stay warm for a couple of minutes and for me that's enough time. I use a scrub and then wrap their feet in a hot damp towel. My clients would die if I gave up that part of their service, that's the...

    Brazilians gone bad-please advise!

    Hello there, I have been waxing for years and I used to only use the honey wax and had great success with it. Are you trimming the hairs are they maybe too long, or too short. Are you applying firmly and thinly. I have used the honey for the brazilians for years and now I use the berodins blue...

    Contact dermatitis, can someone explain to me?

    Is this only found on the hands if you develop contact dermitis, I have a rash over my left eye and left side of my neck and I'm not sure if it's stress related or an over exposure to the gelish.

    Colour pops for normal polish

    I use wooden coffee stir sticks cut them in half the cut side gets a glued tip on that and then I paint the colour on. Grab an elastic and put it around the bottle, I have lots of colours and you can stand in front and see them all done this way. My clients love it.

    Gel polish fading

    I use Gelish and all of my lighter colours fade within a week or so, does anyone else have this problem? Especially if I layer two light colours after a while it turns in to a totally different colour I applied. What gel polish out there stays true to their colour?

    Having a hard time getting clients to like hard wax

    I am using the perron rigot blue and I am not having any luck with my clients preferring this wax to the current strip wax I use. Most are saying the pain is the same for the facial area. Even some of my regular brazilian girls prefer the stip wax and for 3 times more money for the perron I'm...

    What's the trick to using hard wax?

    I thought about maybe using a piece of muslin on top of the hard wax instead of the plastic tabs, has anyone tried that with the muslin on top of the wax? Or laying a small piece on the skin then applying wax, I'm sure I'll figure this out. I am really afraid to use hard wax on new clients. I am...
