Following a rather traumatic wax pot accident yesterday (noone hurt!) I'm considering changing to a 'cassette' style system. How easy are these to use? Are results comparable? What about eyebrow waxing (this is what I use the wax for mostly)? Any opinions welcome.

I can't find anything on the HMRC website about whether I can have training as an allowable expense or not. If so, which box does it go in?

Hiya folks, Some of you may have heard me grumping on here before that salon wear 1) never fits me well (if I fit the bust it drops off everywhere else. I don't have skinny arms either. 2) is generally made of 'easy care' polyester. I'm a seamstress in one of my parallel lives. The new...

OK, here goes. I'm applying Shellac absolutely according to the book and with CND lamp etc etc. I get a nice smooth finish to the base coat and put in the lamp. Apply first colour coat and hey presto, there are a few small bumps on the nail. Not dirt, these are little bumps, as if there was...

As Professionals there is plenty of information given to us about Shellac. I would find a leaflet about Shellac really useful to give to clients, both potential (describing the benefits and maybe an FAQ) and also for users with either FAQ and/or aftercare information. I take it these aren't...

I have nearly finished my first pot of bright pink... I can't remember if it's 2016 or 2027. The lighter of the two... the pot is at home and I'm not. Anyway! A couple of weeks ago I put this on someone's toenails. Last weekend I did someone's fingernails. On Thursday I saw both people at...

Hi have been putting rhinestones on BioSculpture gel for a couple of clients. How do you use them in nail art on a regular manicure? What makes them stick.. or not? My niece is bound to want some!

Hi Got going with Bio Sculpture, Manis & Pedis etc...... Client came last week (she popped in for a repair) and wanted a little design in stones on her thumb. I'm not expert in these things, but can position a few gems into a daisy shape. What should I be charging her for this? She's only...

At the moment there are no guaranteed cures for alopecia. It's a condition that comes and goes and the only predictable thing about the condition is that it's unpredictable. There are many folks out there with 'snake oil' cures, but in reality, that's all they are. If you are a...

Whoopee! Yesterday I got my Bio Sculpture certificate! A few probs during the assessment, but everything got put right and I was fairly pleased with the results in the end. Want to improve my sculpting skills now. At the wholesalers I have seen silk (at least I think that is what they are?)...

Hi has anyone used the NSI training courses, specifically at Salford? It's hard to know where is good for training. PurpleIvy

Hi In advance of my assessment on Monday I asked a colleague if she would like me to do her nails. She's had enhancements before, including BioSculpture. Good choice as she's bored rigid waiting for her housemove on Monday! How long have you got? I asked... as long as it takes! was her...

Morning everyone, Was just reading with interest thread on brush care/brush murder:cry:, but it related to L&P. Is anyone, (or more than one anyone) able to offer the best advice to give me long life from my brushes. One survived near death, a near fatal fracture, but due to massive...

I'm going to have a home 'salon/treatment room' as soon as our new extension is built and in use (said room is currently temporary kitchen). I already hold Massage, SPorts Massage, Indian Head Massage certificates. Also recently done manicure, pedicure and Biosculpture nails. I'm hoping...

Hi Yes, I'm still feeling new! Are the terms above used interchangably, or are any of them different to the others. PurpleIvy

Hi I have got the polish Orly shade 'Pink Nude' for a French manicure and having trouble getting even application. Has anyone else had a problem with this? Any suggestions? Ivy

Was going to show a photo for my first French mani...... well I am a newbie after all. How do I put the photo in? Tried copy and paste, but didn't work. Ivy

Any one know of a supplier of custom printed files? I quite fancy having some of these. Ivy

Hi everyone Very shortly I will be doing the Bio Sculpture training. Something in another thread made me wonder what, or indeed if I can charge for people that I am practising my 'art' on. I know it's not fair (well at least in my eyes) to charge full whack for a service that will inevitably...

Hi I'm just embarking on my venture working from home.... (Biosculpture) some of you will be sick of hearing that by now. I was interested in this thread, as I had been wondering what sort of polish to get i.e. do I get exclusively the bio sculpture ones on the grounds that they will...
