to be honest skin truth is usually used more for training than a professional salon product, you can still look up affordable ranges yet professional, there is eve taylor, swiss dermly, algologie and m sure others that i have not mentioned, that have no minimum order yet are lovely products, for nails im a huge fan of opi

I would really try Adovia mineral skin care or Abrione/VB Cosmetics. You can google each of those. They have some amazing products that are in lots of the salons here.

As far as nail colors, I also love OPI, but also am a huge fan of Nubar. They have an amazing range of colors for really good prices!

Good luck

OPI all the way, colours you can get excited about, i find that they apply really well, had some probs with the matt nudes though (steer clients away from those) i seal with Seche Vite, harderns in mins. My polish on toes lasts a good 4 weeks no chips!.
Love this site, Just about to finish my level 3, Have a Sat.job at a local salon, hope to build up a mobile business myself, buying the matis 5 in 1 electrotherapy machine and the micro-current machine, really excited to finally be in the industry that i've loved since my teens.
Good luck beanzybaby

hey

congrats on finishing your course!! i am using skintruth at the min....it was a range i was going to use until i found a better one as i didnt want to rush into buying a range i didnt like. i have now ordered eve taylor which is lovely. it is highly recommended.

there isnt a minimun order and you can order as much or less as you like. check out www.eve-taylor.com

i also use china glaze polish. i love it and it has such nice colours.

xxxxx

Go for a good skincare brand not like skin truth,natures way, ect. algologie is a good skin care but they have no national trainer anymore, so it a matter of deciding what products you want yourself and learning as you go along. As you are so new I do recommend going for a skincare that will have training and maybe when you are more confident you could try others

Hey

Don't know if you do spray tanning too but if you do I can recommend ISIS solution from Tanning Solutions. Great colour and price.

They also sell the full mobile kit a a really good price and can offer accredited training.

Hope this helps
