Hi Nikki,

The notes you have been given will be sufficient for the assessment on day four.

If you'd like to know more, an NVQ, ITEC, or VTCT will give you more overall knowledge, not just of nails but the business side, Health and safety, hygiene etc. etc. etc.

Alternatively, for reference, you could look at: The Complete Nail Technician by Marian Newman, The Encyclopedia of Nails by Jacqui Jefford and Anne Swain, and Nail Structure and Product Chemistry by Doug Schoon (this is an excellent one to accompany the foundation course notes, this book fully details what they touch on re. how product actually works).

I have all three, as do lots of other people and think they are invaluable. Check out Geekbay Books section and you may find someone wanting to sell theirs.

Hi Nikki

Have you had a look at Designer Nails' NVQ elements at http://www.designernails.com/nvq.aspx?. Also, The Complete Nail Technician and the Encyclopaedia of Nails are fantastic reference books - absolute must have bibles of information!
