hiya im rach and ive just started my nvq level 3 in nail services about a month ago, i originally trained in beauty therapy 6 years ago and have always been interested in all aspects of nails and nailcare, its only recently that i have found myself fortunate enough to start to pursue this. I found this site a couple of days ago and have to say im addicted already ! I'd love to hear from you guys with any hints or advice for a newbie just starting out on the long road ahead also is there any books or magazines worth investing in ? Looking forard to hearing from you xx

Hi Rache, welcome to the site Best advise I can give you is to use the search engine and read read read.
My fav mag is Scratch, my world comes to a stop until I've read it from cover to cover, checked out all the web sites etc.

Welcome to geeking

It's a professional only mag, fabulous!

Scratch Magazine - The Forum for Nail Professionals

hope this helps

sorry i may be being a bit thick here, can u buy it in a shop or do you have to subscribe online ?xx

Welcome to the site xx

You can order online or the phone no is on the website.
No you can't buy in a shop, you need to subscribe.

This is because it's a professional only mag and often shows wholesale prices of products which most people prefer not to be known to the general public
