Who is your course with? Is it done partly over the internet or something? Can't get my head round how it would work coz there are so many questions that need to be asked and things. I have almost completed my 4 day creative course on l&p and found it really hard...getting more into it now mkind, but it looks so much easier when your sitting there watching somebody pampering you, i got quite a shock when i started with it all! lol

Anyway, I'm sure it will be good, as there all tried and tested i would of thought and what works for one...

Best of luck

hi there,

Just thought I'd add this link

http://www.thenailgeek.com/showthread.php?t=4960&highlight=marian+newman+text+book

marian newman (mum) wrote one of the books she mentions, and many of the geeks (inlcuding myself) rely on it for excellent information to top up your knowledge.
She has also listed two others that may be of help (i also have the encyclopedia of nails, and found this useful too!)

Hiya,
A home learn course is great for getting you started!! that's how i first started as i had a very young child and worked full time. I then decided i needed to go into a classroom course!! Simply because a video cannot tell you if you are doing something wrong!!!!

As far as books go The Complete Nail Technician II Edition by Marian Newman is absolutly fantastic, it has everything you need to know about Nails!!!

p.s i am a distributor for Marians book

OFF THREAD:

I think I have just been given negative rep for my post?
please PM me if you gave me rep (i've only received one rep for this post on this thread)
If so, could you clarify why please. However, I realise it may well have been done with the intention of giving positive rep - just wanted to check what I may have done wrong?? I'm just a worrier!

Thank you anyway (and Lily). You don't get rich from writing textbooks but I am happy to help so feel free to ask me anything (PN or post)

The learn at home course is by essential nails,
You buy the course from them, get all the equipment you need plus the trainer hand,video and manual, follow the video save you work on to progress charts send the work back for examination.
