I want to give this a go with a UV lamp, would anyone mind posting a link of where they got theirs? (Something that's not *too* expensive but does the job if possible) I can't replace my CND lamp just yet so anything in between would be perfect, thanks

P.S. I've had a look on ebay but a lot of them have bad reviews, so would rather check where people on here got theirs x

I use Sibel UV lamp from salon services it's heavy and well made but may not be what your looking for if your mobile. I love it though.

Had a bash with xlac tonight, 3 thin coats of x-5 will see how it lasts on my guinea pig!

How long did you cure each coat for

 

[jennijen]

I did the first coat for 30 sec, second for 60 sec and third for 90 sec just to be sure!

I need some help please. I'm using INK London ilac polishes and love them. I have a client who comes to me. She has several weak nails but these are much improved since she started coming to me. As a treat, she always has a luxury manicure and has recently started having the gel polish. But I find there is some shrinking at the side walls. I had her again last night and it was better but not good enough.
So this is what I do - I file and shape the nails, use cuticle massage cream and soak for a couple of minutes. I then use cuticle removal cream and do cuticle work. I then do an exfoliation on her hands, wash them then buff and shine the nails. I then clean the nails with sanitiser and INK London's dehydrator before applying base coat, colour then top coat. For my luxury manicure, I usually apply body butter and do a hand massage after exfoliating the hands but didn't do this last night until after the polish had been applied to see if that helped against shrinking as I was thinking too much product on the nails.
I'm meticulous in cleaning the nails but I must be missing something. I've even spoken to Lee at INK London and he says it must be my prep work too but I'm very conscious about cleansing the nails.
Can someone please advice,even if its just to tell me I'm still doing my prep work wrong. The luxury manicure is something my client doesn't want to give up and she likes the ilac gel polishes too.
Thanks.

Have you tried doing the normal prep and ilac application and THEN doing the luxury manicure (soak, scrub etc)? That's what I do and not had a problem x
