Hi all, not been on in ages! I trained with CND in July / August and loved it. Since I have only had 5 clients for enhancements and after each one I didn't feel happy with my work. I do gel polish a lot but I currently only do nails on the side of a full time job. I've been rubbish at...

Hi All, I did some training with a company in gel, acrylic, fibreglass and silk and have realised how shocking it was! Tried to do gel on a friend and it was a disaster and my confidence was just thrown. I know I need to invest in some proper training and don't even know why I thought it was...
