Good point! I usually try to take pictures and post them before and after a video but you know how life is at the salon. I'm usually booked back to back and sometimes I don't have time to take pictures or the client is rushing out. I'm so thankful my clients are OK with me filming these manicures... I will try to remember to slow down at the end at least so people can have a better look!

When applying shellac, work on dehydrated nails ( use scrub fresh after they’re shaped) Base coat, 2 coats of color and then top coat. The clients only care that you’re touching them and talking to them. You get to come up with your own methods and stay within the allotted time so you’re earning what you need. In my opinion, you can’t do it incorrectly. When in doubt, massage arms longer. 😊. Best of luck in your new career

@TheSalonLife
4 жыл бұрын
If the gel polish is shrinking I do cap they nails. I made a video explaining that (in my video description). If the gel polish is not shrinking- I don’t. Because if I add too much gel at the free edge that creates a bulge and that might not cure properly and it looks thick.

random question. What’s the difference between shellac and gel? I know gel can range from gel polish and like the gel builder (where you build the gel). Is shellac just like gel polish?
@TheSalonLife
3 жыл бұрын
Shellac is a name of gel polish made by CND. But because it was one of the first ones and most popular, people starting calling all gel polishes- shellac (which is incorrect). So: CND makes gel polish called "Shellac" OPI makes gel polish called "Gel Color" Essie makes gel polish called "Gel" (confusing, I know!) IBD makes gel polish called "Just Gel Polish". They are all gel polishes. So they are gel but made to look like nail polish. They are meant for lasting color and shine. They are not meant to be used to build the nail. Gel is usually a thicker honey like consistency product made for "building" the nail (sculpting method) or it can be used over tips. It can also be used over natural nails without extending the nails and then we call it "gel overlay or "natural nail overlay") All of these products belong to acrylic family. "Acrylic" is really called Liquid & Powder system because all of them (including gel and gel polish) belong to acrylic family (they contain acrylates or methacrylates)

What do you do for clients who have A LOT of cuticle build up (about halfway down their nails)? Do you still try to push them back dry and use a bit to remove it or do you soak? I personally think using a drill is faster but not sure if clients will be 100% happy with cuticle removal.

@TheSalonLife

CND is a company that makes Shellac. But some people incorrectly call all gel polishes “shellac”. You don’t have to take a shine off from natural nail but sometimes there is tiny bit of base coat left on the nail or there are little catches and the base coat would go bumpy. Also with some clients with very smooth and shiny nails the Shellac peels off very easily if the surface doesn’t have shine removed.

Thank u very much for ur reply . 1 more question please . Sorry to bother you . So i can use any gel polish without taking shine off the natural nail and take off gel polish without removing shine off u mean . And don't we need primer for gel paints applications. My confusion is when i see cnd videos they say no drill or file needed ,but when i see shellac videos it shows drill or file to take shine off . Please let me know when u can. Thank you
@TheSalonLife

This is why calling products properly is so important :) With CND Shellac you don't have to take shine off the natural nail and you don't have to file the top coat. Other brands of gel polishes might be very different. Always follow the manufacturers advice.
@TheSalonLife
3 жыл бұрын
PS. Shellac is made by CND. Other gel polishes are NOT shellac. Shellac is not a type of product. Always look at manufacturers videos and instructions. People do things differently sometimes. Even my videos are not instructional videos, I just show how I work in my salon.
