    Which tan solution?

    Hiya I'm still trailing brands myself which I've written about on another thread. I still like LA tan (brown range) 10% is light to medium (looks lovely on most skin tones even my niece she has a very pale complexion and lovely blonde/ginger hair) 12% is medium and the 14% is dark. They have...

    Shellac pros please help!

    Hiya, I'm not a pro when it comes to shellac but I didn't wanna read and run! Have you trained in shellac? It's quite different to gel polish imo. I've done a gel polish course but if I was to work with shellac I would definitely do the brand training. Could you discuss this with the salon...

    St Tropez spray tan samples?

    I just wondered if anyone knows whether St. Tropez do samples? I contacted them directly and they advised they currently don't have any? And to contact Ellisons or Alan Howard...had a quick peek at their websites but can't find anything. I'm pretty sure I'll stick with LA tan but you never...

    LA Tan or Nouvatan?

    I trained with LA Tan and it's still a winner for me particularly the brown range. I've tried others just to check I've got the right one lol. Suntana, smells amazing but to me it doesn't have a good guide colour and was a nightmare to get off. Nouvatan, again not a great guide colour, fade...

    Mixing acrylic/pigment to make a nude colour

    Hiya, I'm in love with CJP vanilla shine, however I'm unable to use their monomer due to allegies. I will be using CND retention+ l&p as it's the only one I haven't reacted to. I want to mix acrylic/pigment to match the vanilla shine. Any ideas? Xx

    Nail technician qualifications

    Hiya, some brands do a longer course. I felt the same about the four days thing. There's no way I could soak it all in over four days lol I'm a bit slower than most. I did the nail harmony 12 week course one evening a week for 2.5 hours which, personally, I found much easier. There really is so...
