Has anyone had any experience with Evolve Academy Training?

Hi Guys, Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere - but I cant find it if it has! I have about 5 clients who repeatedly have problems with their Geleration Manicures lifting. Only after a couple of days. I am so so careful to leave the margin around the cuticle area and I prep...

Hi All, I have a dilema which I would much appreciate some points of view on! I had a man call me yesterday wanting to book in for French gel on his toes and a full set of Forever French nail extensions. I am fine with this, or I think I am. I work from home (although not alone) and have had...

Morning All, Depending on who you listen to, we are either on the brink of a recession or in the throws of one – expected to last 2/3 years. Although my business hasn’t been majorly affected yet, I have started to notice 1 or 2 regular’s cancelling their appointments, and a fall in new...

Have just rang Manchester One Stop Nail Shop for supplies and was horrified to find that they are discontinuing Creative Products - Especially master series brush heads - I paid a fortune for these brushes for my salon only to be told the heads are discontinued?? Apparantly, Entity is "better...

Hi Guys, Having just had a Health & Safety inspection (she said we were the best she's seen!!) the only thing I had to change was that I needed a written Risk Assesment. I was under the impression that it only needed to be written if you had more than 5 employees, but you had to be shown...

Hi All, Which fire extinguisher is best for use in the salon (nails & beauty)? I think it's powder but im unsure and wanted to make sure before I splash out! Thanks X

I've just been on a training course with Bio Sculpture and during the course the trainer said that Bio Sculpture IS NOT ACRYLIC - I am pretty sure that ALL systems are acrylic based. I looked on the MSDS sheets and the main ingredient is Polyurethane Methacrylate Copolymer - Can any one clarify...

Hi All, We've had the odd few requests recently about lightening eyebrows. I know you can tint them darker, or a slightly different shade but I've never heard of making them lighter. Can any one shed any "light" on this subject for me please?!:rolleyes: My thanks in advance!

Hi All, I had a client to come me for a repair today. She had an injury on her nail where she had a small crack that went right through her nail. It looks like a bacterial infection has started but it seems to have worked it's way underneath her natural nail through the crack. I soak off the...

My new employee has just finished her first day of foundation with Creative. A few things I want to check on..... She was told you have to use PRIMER first, and NAIL FRESH second She was also told that you use NAIL FRESH with Retention + and PRIMER with RADICAL... Now I remember reading...

Does any one know what the names of the colours are in the picture in September 06 Prof Nails (page 21)? I love all the colours (except the orangey one!) and I also love the purple colour by Leighton Denny used in the naked half moon manicure (page 20) on the opposite page - does anyone know...

A fair few weeks ago I had a text from someone called xxxxxx She said that I had been "recommended" to her by one of my clients and that if I registered with her site. I would be registered for media work! I replied asking for the details of who had recommended me, as I thought it quite strange...

Hi All, I've just posted a very recent picture of some P&W sculpted nails I have done. I would welcome any critisism good or bad! It's the first pic in my gallery - please take a quick look. Thankyou!!

I know you shouldn't mix monomer's but I was wondering if I could mix my 32oz Retention with my 16oz Moxie (to make 48oz). Moxie is a little too fast setting, but Retention a little slow. I probably won't end up using the Moxie and I don't want to waste it! Can I do this as both monomer's...

My link for the Geek site isn't working properly - i just have a red cross in a box and the address underlined in blue. I always used to have the little geek picture thing - can anyone cut and paste the code for me to repair it please? Also, if anyone else has link codes they want me to...

Hi Folks, Just recieved my kit today - been really excited about it. Got to say though, upon openig it im really dissapointed. I already have every single one of the powders in it. I was under the impression it would be different hues of pinks/whites - and a guide and colour chart or some...
