Hi there is it possable to do a manicure and pedicure then put on gel nails and hollywood toes or are there any parts I should leave out? Thanks in advance XX
 
Hi, I do this fine, just make sure all products are off before you apply your enhancements and the nail is bone dry. Hth xx
 
Thanks hun just wanted to check. XX
 
Apply the gel before you do the mani or pedi as soaking the nails in water makes them swell, then you will apply your gel and afterwards the nails will shrink, that's when you will have problems with the enhancements lifting and/or popping off... Just change the order you do things,
ie you won't have to prep/shape during the mani or pedi because you'll have already done it when you did the enhancements.

I do exactly like this as Sandi says,i actually encourage clients to look after thier skin and hands aswell as thier nails,so i am doing quite alot of treatments such as this,with manicures combined with enhancements.

You do the prep work as normal,apply the enhancements,and then give your clients the desired manicure.Yes it may be a long treatment,some clients may not want it,but it has worked for me,after i have demonstrated at different pamper partys,it goes down a storm:!:
