Hi, Newbie here!!

Hi All,

I am new to the site so be gentle!! :lol:

I am using NSI gel products but have a couple of clients who I just do a manicure for. What would you recommend as the best product for using over polish on non-enhanced nails to keep them really strong?

I'm not sure I am supposed to use Glaze n go or thermoshield...no details on their website??

Thanks
Amz

Hi!
Why not offer them natural nails overlays - keeps them strong and the polish stays longer.

 

[Amz85]

Yeah, Thats a good idea, If I did this would I just prepare the nail then apply a layer of builder gel, polish then top coat? or polish then the builder gel?

Thanks

I guess that depends upon your system but basically you apply 1 thin layer of builder gel instead of three (at least I do it that way with my material). And then you apply a layer of gel on the underside of the natural nail's free edge - that 'wraps' the nail.
And then you use polish on top of it.

Hi Amz, welcome:hug:
Manicure clients: to strengthen their nails you need a good "Base" strengthening coat, - my personal favorite is CND "Toughen Up" - it is a treatment base coat that promote cross linking of the top few layers of the natural nail plate. Then continue with 2 coats of enamel and a top coat.
Clients need to help themselves as well by following a homecare programme.
3 Keys to caring for natural nails
- Oil daily
- Manicure
- Keep them coated

Glaze n Go and thermoshield are products designed for nail enhancements.
Glaze no Go over L&P or Gel only and Thermoshield over polished enhancements.

A natural nail overlay is a great recommendation. You could also look at doing NNO with soak-off gels, like the new Illusion.

Neither Glaze 'n Go or Thermoshield will work on natural nails, sorry!

 

[yeahyeah]

these are all great suggestions so far, which nsi gel system are you using? I havent started using Illusion yet, but if youre using Balance, one step works great for nno's. i prep, use balance bond, brush on a very thin layer of one step, cure, then apply another layer, cure. then the finish of your choice! you'll make BANK offering this as an add-on service to mani's or pedi's!
