I'm working on my design for CND's contest--any other geeks doing this?

Would love to get you geeks' input with these. Do any of you have clients who want their nails this short?

I've been, shall we say, distracted from online nail stuff for the last year or so (well, judging by how long ago my last gallery update was, more like THREE years. Yikes!). But I have been busy doing nails, and I thank the Lord that I'm in a career that I LOVE and I have some wonderful clients...

About two weeks ago, I started getting a crazy itch around the base of my neck. There was no rash, no blisters, etc, it just itched. And it STILL itches today, and I'm wondering if I could be having product sensitivity issues? It just seems weird to be having them on my neck, because it's not...

Two different clients: Jan (the sparkly almonds) is a custom blend, and Riana's pink and white is using the new CND neutral pink powder. Oh, and some hand-painted flowers for good measure. :)

Is there anyone here who can tell me why the new Brisa colors didn't include a black gel? Is black a difficult color to produce? And how come there's a silver semi-opaque shimmer, but not a gold one (since there is both a silver and gold sheer sparkle)?

Well, this is my very first set of stilletos, so I know there are flaws (which I can see much better in the pic that I could in real life! How embarrassing!) I left out the smile lines and apex placement in the ratings box because you can't see the apex, and there are no smile lines! :D So do...

Just wondering if anyone is as addicted to this show as I am? Heather, you went to an audition once, didn't you? I'd love to hear that story! :D Anyway, I'd just like to officially say that I love David Archaletta, Michael Johns, Brooke White, and Carly Smithson. Can't wait to see how they...

Would love opinions from all of you. Which do you choose in your nail systems and techniques--quick and easy, or beautiful and lasting quality? Or do you feel you need to choose at all? My personal opinion is that there are some definite differences in results between the two. I want to hear...

...so that you don't throw off your product's usual mix ratio, but so you can still get a good solid glitter nail? I use CND, and have been wanting to play around with glitter more. I got some Nail Graphix, but when I went to file on the color, I discovered it was the metalic glitter, so I...

I'm about to tear my hair out over on the other nailtech board. Someone asked if they could use any lamp with their Brisa gel. I replied with the basic "you must use the Brisa lamp with the Brisa gel". From there, it has spiraled downhill, and even after a couple more posts by me mentioning...

Have any of you seen these yet? I just got a sample in the mail. I sculpt everything, but I just might give these a try. They're so thin, and there's no contact area. I don't think you have to even blend them. I have samples in white and natural, and I hope they come in clear also!

A question for the CND educators/employees, and others in the know: Who does the fabulous work for the ads? Is there a website somewhere that has all the CND ad pics, and the artists that did the nails? I know that the ones for the Solar ads are by our own Gigi, but I'd like to know who did...

Just wondering if there are any others, like me, who are dealing with fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue-immunodeficiency syndrome while keeping up with your nail career? What do you do specifically to conserve your energy for work? How about ergonomics--what kinds of tools or exercises or...

I was just reading a post on another nail board from a tech who is working 14 hour days. I cannot get my head around this. Do any of you work longer than 8 hour days? Me, with my Fibro and CFIDS, I'm lucky if I manage a seven hour day a few times a week (my average is 5-6 hours per day, five...

Okay, one more question for you guys, and I'm done for the night, I promise. :D I keep my Moxie brush in a brush case, flat in a drawer. I rarely use it, and now it has the dreaded yellow death stain going on when I try to use it. My question: WHY did it do this, when I've been keeping it...

Hi geeks-- Just wondering what your personal opinions and policies are about answering your business phone while performing a service? I tend to let it go to voicemail, unless it's a client who's been playing phone tag with me, or a family member. What do you do?

I'm so embarrassed to have to ask this question, but what is up with my clients who get the pocket lifting only after the third or fourth rebalance? They're doing great for those first rebals, virtually no lifting, and then they sit down for that next appointment, and it takes me twice as long...

If you follow the link below, you'll see a pic of the very first tips I did in beauty school (yep, I saved em. :)). Nearly eight years ago. My goodness, how time flies (hee, I typed "files" accidentally). And these pictures prove that you really can learn to do pretty nails, even if your first...

LOL! I had to borrow one of your UK words to describe my state of mind when I got home from work yesterday to find out that I'd placed first in the Enhancement Jr. category! And I was so impressed with the other entries! Kudos and chocolate to everyone :D
