I really HATE other peoples' feet! I don't even like my boyfriends feet touching mine in bed at night. I don't have any regular clients at the moment, but recently I've had enquiries for mani/pedis. I wanted to do a better manicure course, as the mani pedi course I did was.. dare I say... a...

So I have my second official (non familial) client next weekend and I'm excited as she's keen to only have OPI and lives really close to me so hoping I can have her as my first proper returning client! She wants IBX which is fine as I trained on their workshop day in London, but I've only ever...

Just a vent really. Someone on a local group on facebook was selling a whole load of "professional" gel nail products- mostly bundles of Elite 99. I've seen the brand around online on various groups, however never really looked as it because it reminds me of other "copycat" brands, for a start...

After wanting one for months, my boyfriend and his family treated me to a FitBit Blaze for my birthday! It's just about a month old, and I'm loving it! Was hoping I'd get to use it more for excervise.. but that would require me signing up to a gym as I've been meaning to.. [emoji23] anyone else...

Hi lovely hair people!! So I had micro ring extensions put in over a year ago, and when I got them removed I kept them. I'm curious to see if I can find someone where I live who can put them in again for me. in the mean time, is it worth me washing the hair? And if so, any tips on doing so? Or...

To cut a long story short- I trained in acrylics with CND, but I don't love Shellac, partly because it doesn't last on my nails, and I'm also no longer really using CND acrylic but INK acrylink. I've just trained in gel polish, with OPI, partly because I wanted to be insured in it and also...

Got my Scratch magazine delivered this morning, and ever the magpie, I spotted the pave crystal stamping template.. http://www.nailsmag.com/video/116150/pav-crystal-stamping-templates-demo.. ahhhhh i want!!!

I was going to post this in business but not sure where it belongs....I've got a creative brain but my art often doesn't reach my finger tips... I have THE perfect logo/font design in my head but I can't find anyone who can recreate it. I've spoken to a couple of graphic designers who said...

Just wondering if anyone else got an email from Louella Belle about a famous names training roadshow, with a big thing in it about becoming IBX certified? I emailed in, thinking I'd get sent details about it or an application form to fill out, and got told I've got a space and a list of...

So I moved into a new flat yesterday as well as starting a full time job this week so even though my nails are taking a backseat until I'm settled enough to offer weekend appointments, I'm on the lookout for a way to display and store my 200 odd nail varnishes and glitters that DONT have to be...

I've been dying my hair regularly for over a decade at home using semi permanent dyes, topped up with vegetable dyes. My hair condition has got pretty bad recently, so I want to try and stop using so many harsh chemicals on it (I'm a redhead too so the red upkeep of fortnightly top ups...gah..)...

So I've had a spate of people messaging me wanting acrylics with nails so small and/or damaged or with unrealistic ideas that I can't change so I thought I'd get some advice with the lady that's just messaged me. She's had acrylics on for quite a while from an NSS salon and its weakened her...

I'm now trained with CND in l+p and was going to do their spa manicure course (having only previously done a basic mani/pedi one day years ago) but I tried the new range that you need to buy for the course and I don't like the smell of either of them at all! I know the CND courses are good...

I've had two texts now from people from this company who have found me through Yell.. This is the second one.. "Hi Rachel my name is Elyse I found you on Yell. Are you a mobile nail tech? I'm operations coordinator of TheGlamApp and looking to have more nail tech freelancers in London/greater...

I want to start posting to help boost my client bookings as I find pretty much everyone isn't keen to pay extra when they can get a full set locally for £18 (even though my starting offer isn't much more than this! and will go up once I have some clients!) I used to have a blog but it was mostly...

I had a cut a few years back, I think it was a Vidal Sassoon training academy, and I really loved the cut. I think it was called the 123 or the ABC cut?! Can any hairdressers shed some light on this? I've since asked this question in a few different hair dressers and no one seemed to have heard...

Hi all, So I want to start trying some nail shapes out; I'm used to doing a "squoval" shape but on my final assessment my model wanted oval nails and I actually really liked how they looked! I've started practising on my nail trainer but would love to trial shapes myself.. The question is, I...

So i'm going boyfriend and mum free, as the first would get bored and annoy me and the second will moan about sore feet and also annoy me! :) First, it would be great to know if anyone fancied meeting up- I feel like I'm going to be completely out of my depth as I won't have even finished my...

Yesterday whilst tidying up, I managed to hit my bare toe on something and then realised I'd hit it hard enough for it to bleed. After passing out (I'm phobic of blood!) when I was finally able to look at it, the blood came not from the nail plate under the free edge but has in fact somehow...

So as you might know, I finished day 4 of 6 of my CND course Thursday and my mum is walking round with some rather bumpy acrylics. I'm trying to get as much practise in as possible, so obviously the first step was to try a set on myself! I have tiny, ski jumped nails which doesn't help. Firstly...
