Lovely. Can I ask what weekend/party nails are please? Xx

Course you can 
they are simply a temporary short extension meant to last anything from the weekend to longer dependent upon how heavy handed you are. They don't have an apex so the structure isn't there to support like you get with a full nail enhancement, hence why they don't last long.
I have applied Pro Impressions well less white tips to a prepped nail, cut to size so that they aren't long and shaped the free edge. I then lightly buffed the tip and applied MM base coat to the whole nail and cured. I then applied 3 coats of Megamix making sure the application was smooth and cured each layer. I finished with my Cuccio Veneer top coat as it's super shiny, cured and they were done.
These are great for people that only want extensions for a short time or if you use a clear or natural tip you could extend the nail if 1 out of ten nails is broken. They're in no way a substitute for traditional enhancements, nor do they provide the same strength, but they'd be great for the party season coming up or brides that don't want a long term commitment.
Also these easily soak off in foil after 10-15 mins

Not to be a party pooper, but has anyone checked if their insurance is valid when they mix gels and pigments? I just wonder who would be responsible if there was a health issue.
As I understand the European Cosmetics directive, the person who blended the final product could be defined as the manufacturer.

Foes anyone else have problems with the pot oozing? I have the original white pot (don't know if it's changed to black yet?). I always wipe the threads as clean as I can, but it still seeps out and makes the whole pot sticky
It would be great if the pots had some kind of little inner lid like this maybe..?

I had this. I've stretched a Roo polish case foamy bit to fit it in so it now lays flat all the time and have had no issues since.
Not ideal if you can't store in that way though.
Meant to update my party nails, I got a week out of them, could have got longer but I had a breakage after being waaaay too heavy handed. I now have my next set on which are longer, I'm not expecting them to last too long because they are long, but we will see.
This is last weeks and this weeks

I'm doing rockstars this morning. I'd like full coverage and have way more Cuccio veneers than polishes so can the MM mixed with glitter go on top of a cured veneer layer or am I better doing it the original way and putting the glitter on my cured layer and leaving the MM out? I'm not sure about mixing different products on top of each other x

What I would do is do veneer in similar colour as a base and then mix Megamix with glitter and go over he top
The gels will be fine together ( compatible)

I was just having a thought ladies...
Would Megamix work with colour changing normal polish ? As in would the colour changing element remain?
I don't have any colour changing polishes but would love to know ! Xx
