Thanks for your reply. I have looked into the H&S and I just need a DBS form. I will check with insurer but as the kids would just be painting pops I don’t think it would be too much of a problem. People get insured for pamper parties where the children are having treatments so I think it would...

Hi I have recently finished my home salon (it’s a cabin in the garden) and I am getting prepared to reopen after having a baby. I have an 8 year old who loves practicing nail art on pops. It has made me think about offering nail art workshops for children in the school holidays as just a bit of...

Thanks for your replies. I will take a look [emoji4]

Hi does anyone use a really good training hand that they would recommend please? I’m based in the UK x

Hi sorry for the late response. I don’t think we are allowed to post prices but as you have been advised contact them and they will help. I went for a middle package so there were more affordable options. I love the products so far [emoji4]

Hey I can’t comment on products suitable but I didn’t want to read and run. It is always best to use the lamp that your gel polish brand recommends. This ensures proper curing of the product and less chance of allergies occurring. With regards to UV or LED I would always say LED but just because...

I use Shellac and have just invested in The Gel Bottle. I love Shellac but for me personally I need more colour choice. I feel like sometimes they are a bit behind and have found my clients want bright colours etc. I’m waiting for my delivery of TGB so haven’t tested it yet but I’m hoping it’s...

Hi I have just purchased Eve Taylor ready to start up my business again. It wasn’t cheap but the products are amazing and I have heard so many good things about them [emoji4]

Thanks for your reply. I haven’t but I will take a look. I’m a bit disappointed with TGB tbh as they have now sold out of their lamp and won’t have any back until end of March so I’m gonna hold off purchasing anything from them as want to be insured. I will take a look at the brand you suggested x

Confidence really is! But you are so right... not trying is worse than failing and if you don’t you will always wonder what if. Just do one thing at a time and practice, practice, practice and the confidence will come. I wish you the best luck x

Definitely a good opportunity to check out new products etc. I am hoping it will give me a bit of motivation to get going again as I always remember getting a bit of a buzz being around it all [emoji4]

Thank you for such a lovely helpful response [emoji4] haha it’s definitely a struggle keeping the house in order xx

Hey is anyone going this weekend? I haven’t been for a few years so I’m quite excited. I’m going to be looking at a new gel polish brand to run alongside my Shellac (a bit disappointed TGB won’t be there), a skincare range as I’m looking to start facials again and a lash lift brand to train...

Hey if you still want to do this, feel free to message me your number [emoji4]

When I used to use Gelish before I switched brands, I had the lamp and it was amazing! Well worth the money. As it’s the show this weekend they may have a discount on it.

Hi I’m in the same position as you with starting up again although it has not been as long for me. So I originally started 8 years ago and in that time I trained with Gelish and CND Shellac. The lamps for Shellac did change from UV to LED but it just meant a quicker cure. There is now another...

Hi I’m wondering if you had a choice would you go for a Log Cabin in your garden or a spare room in the house that would be solely used for your business? I have three children and expecting my forth. The youngest is 1.5 and the eldest is nearly 8 so it can be a bit noisy at times however I...

When I was practicing lashes after day one of my course (you had to go back for the assessment a couple of weeks later) I really struggled. Then I realised it was just because I could not see properly. When I was doing the course they had Glamcor lights so I invested in one and it made such a...

I can recommend Lady Lash based in London. My course was amazing. I wasn’t allowed to leave until I could do it and then had to return with a model to show a set I had done and infill them whilst there to pass. I know some you can just send photos of your case studies but I liked it this way as...

Hi has anyone experience of using both of these products? I’m wondering what is stronger, offers more choice etc? I’m looking for another brand to run alongside my CND Shellac which offers more colour choice and something a bit stronger. I still want to be able to use foils, glitters etc. If...
