God knows what it is you have bought hun,
I doubt anyone will be able to help you with it I'm afraid,

A lot of products have their "own way of working"
Different ratio's etc.....

There have been so many people ripped off with so called proffessional products thinking they are getting a bargain...Its been flour in the tub, or normal olive oil in the bottle instead of solar oil etc.......

I have used "cheaper" brands in the past, and they just don't compare at all, with highly respected brands,
Yes they may be more expensive, but you have the customer service to hand to aid with any problems you face...

Can I just ask hun, Who did you have (or are you having) training with ?

 

[slipperyangel]

Have you had any training or are you training as your profile doesnt say anything.

I'll be honest i've received no professional training as yet (due to lack of cashflow) but i'm very keen to learn. I'm kinda self taught. I've come a long way with nailart techniques but would reali like to learn enhancements

I know this isnt going to help with your issue at the moment, but to be honest nothing is. If you are going to buy a cheap/unknown brand then you will get what you paid for.
Instead of wasting your money on cheap products, why dont you save that money and put it towards saving up to do some proper training.

It's no good being out there doing what you love best if you're doing it all wrong!

Get the right nail education and know what you need to do to get out there and DO IT RIGHT the first time so that you don't end up losing potential clientèle in the meantime.

Have a read of the above two threads to get an idea of what's expected within the industry and how to go about finding the best training available to you :hug:

i totally agree with sandi here - you HAVE to do the trainin with the product to get the best out of it - its so easy to buy a product from "sallys" or "salon services" but they dont teach you HOW to use it, get yourself to a reputible company to train with flower, you wont be dissapointed. at least then you know you have trained with your chosen company and will get endless support from them

 

[nailzoo]

the untrained always come on thenailgeek when the shyte hits the fan, I get a little bit tired of untrained "newbies" seeking knowledge for free, whilst pathetically attempting to take money from our professionals pockets by buying shytey products and setting up in some backyard dumpster and calling it a salon.
It's all fun and games until someone loses a finger................... and you get your ass sued off

 

[Kittensgotclaws]

I totally agree with Nailzoo, you can't get out there and do what you love best on the unsuspecting public, for one thing you wont be ableto get insurance and for another you could seriously do a person some damage if you dont know exactly what you are doing.

I hope you are not practicing with this on people, you could hurt them for the rest of there lives! Most cheap liquids have MMA, it could turn the nails black or fall off for ever!

 

[Mrs Geek]

I am with nailzoo here too. You don't need help from us to teach you about what you may be doing wrong. you need to stop spending money on fleabay stuff and LEARN the art of doing real and beautiful nail work. we all put our money into education... if you are serious about this as a career... you will do too!
Best of Luck!
