Hi Mui, Why don't you check out the rules for the nail art competition at the Nail Olympics http://www.lvhnc.com/. Might give you a few ideas. Happy Easter Pat

Gotta agree with everyone. I own an Iwata Smartjet (best in the world) but teach with the Sudo foot pump. - it is a very good compressor, although it drive me mad too. Can't tell you the number of times I've sat there wondering why nothing's happening and then evenutally remembered I have to...

Look for a copmpressor that is who's PSI is adjustable right down to 0 for maximum flexibility - this will allow you to do airbrush tanning/make up at 7 - 10psi. I've never come across a small silent compressor - what make did you have in mind? Iwata Smartjet Pro is an excellent choice...

Just paint clear varnish on the tip of the nail as you would if you were doing a French Manicure and then dip in microfine glitter. When you seal the nail, coat the glittered tip last of all or esle you will drag glitter back and forth. Too Much Fun make templates that you can use in the same...

You can use self-adhesive masking/templates with nail polish, although the more intricate designs can be a bit tricky. If you are using polish then, as you say, make sure your base colours are completely dry. Lay your masking down, paint your second colour and remove the masking immediately -...

Live in London, so I'm no good with geography. Don't think Hereford is anywhere near Leeds (?) but then again I don't even venture past the North Circular let alone the M25 given the choice. Anyway I digress contact Melle at www.Allthingsnails.co.uk - most extensive range or colours sizes...

In addition to the previous post - it's a great opportunity to increase your retail sales also. Sell your clients a good quality nail art top coat and advise them to apply a coat every couple of days or when design starts to look a a little dull. Pat

Well on the whole in the UK we tend to be a fairly unadventurous lot. If you are a fantastic artist, great, but speaking very generally people mostly want a little flourish to give conservative colour of French manicure a hint of an eye-catching twist. Most nail art courses are about showing...

If charging for airbrushing with a service then £3-5 pounds per colour is around the mark. If somebody is just having airbrushing (ie no additional services) I would start at £10 and go up increments of £3-5 from there (maybe that's how that NSS salon is charging). Most people will have up to...

Actually most people airbrush at 30 - 35psi for nail, I prefer 30. Nowadays would steer clear of a preset compressor. It may seem like a bargain now but think ahead, a regulator is a must. In the future you may want to use it for other applications such as tattoos 15 - 20 psi, tanning -...

The bit you removed is called the fluid nozzle tip. I always advsie my trainees to keep a spare one as you are more like to have a problem with that than the actual needle. (Mind you you shouldn't really have any problems with either if you know what you are doing.) When you say it won't...

PSI wise you need 7 - 10 for the face, 10 for tanning a body, 15 - 20 for tattoos and 30 for nails. It is okay to use the same gun but it is essential you clean it thorougly with the correct medium before swapping paints - ie a waterbased cleaner for water based paints and alcohol for...

A home learn course will get you so far if you have a knack and are that way inclined. I'm sure I could learn brain surgery with the right DVD. In my opinion nothing can ever be as good as quality hands on training, but then I guess I would say that as I teach for Too Much Fun. I did two...

Try the white "Crystaline Basecoat" by Too Much Fun available from Thenailwarehouse.net. If you are using quality opaque airbrush paints you will not need to airbrush white as a first coat unless you are spraying over an acrylic pink and white. Moral to that story is don't either encourage...
