I know this is probably a not one answer fits type of question.... I obtained an NVQ Level 2 in Beauty Therapy some 14 years ago but never really did anything with it. I have a gel lamp and gel polishes in a bottle which i use to do my own nails. I'm on the verge of being made redundant from my office job and would like to use the opportunity to get trained in nails and potentially create a career in this field. As I have always done my own nails and watched YouTube videos I'm not very knowledgable on the different types of things available because I don't go to nail salons - I have only ever done my own nails. My nails are long so I don't do extensions etc. I have decided I want to do a gel course (rather than acrylic) but think there are the 2 types (tell me if I am wrong) gel polish in a bottle and then gel builder gel in a tub that you put on with a special brush. (I use the gel polish in a bottle on myself). Can anyone offer me the pro's and con's on each of these different gels (or any others that I should be considering) so that I can decide which course would suit me best please? I have been looking at the calgel courses near me but should I look at a more generic course that isn't brand specific so that I can choose my own brand once I am trained? If I don't train with Calgel and then decide I want to use Calgel could I then purchase once I have my insurance and qualification or would I still need to train with them? (I have put a call into Calgel and waiting for them to ring me back). I am looking at courses in the West Midlands, UK area - can anyone recommend any training courses in this area?
