    Re-using files

    Remember you must fully sanitise (clean) the file before you spray. No point disinfecting a dirty, dusty file.

    MMA/EMA-help

    Most acrylic goes jelly like and sticky when removing but MMA will take ages to get to that state and be very difficult to remove. Naio is a well respected brand and certainly doesn’t contain MMA so you have no need to worry.

    Nails techs - time management help!

    Look into getting trained to sculpt instead of using tips, that’ll save you 30 mins immediately. I can’t actually remember the last time I used tips and I can do a full set of L&P with gel polish in 60 mins.

    How to become a nurse?

    No that wouldn’t be enough. Each university has its own entry requirements and specified UCAS points which can be made up from A levels, Access courses etc. Look at the universities you would be interested in and check their requirements.

    I let the client choose. I can work around paper pants if required and for me client comfort is paramount not my convenience.

    Sculpting acrylic nail using a magnifying LED lamp

    If you’re still struggling to see close up go back to your opticians. I have a pair of specs prescribed solely for doing nails, they’re perfect but so strong I can’t even walk with them on without feeling giddy lol They stay on my nail desk and are never moved.

    CJP & dipping systems

    Tip and dip has been around for very, many years and is far from being a new way of doing things. It is however, seeing something of a revival with a handful of companies now promoting it.
