As some of you, I'm a seamstress as well as nail geek (as well as a teachers assistant).....and I've been sorting out my fabric stash and I have a bag of fabric scraps that I simply cannot get rid of. These are some of my favourite fabrics I've used and I always figured one day I would make...

OK, does anyone know where I can get me some MINX here in New Zealand. As usual, not a hell of a lot of distributors of new stuff or even not new stuff here so the question really should be who is the distributor for Minx here in New Zealand? Is there even a distributor in Oz? Help! Thanx...

Summary: Essie "In The Mood" Nailpolish, my favourite (discontinued, of course, and unavailable in NZ, of course)....went missing 6 months ago, nearly full.....ripped house apart, no can find. Yesterday, the bottle shows up, after one of my daughters friends was over....yes, that explains...

So I was at it again.....and disclaimer: If you are newly trained or uncertain in your skills, you should *alway* use the products and procedures of your chosen system. OK, with that out of the way.....a month ago I ordered the Avolve trial kit and was blown away.....expecially by the clear...

Yes, i've already tried to contact my trainer but wanted to ask here as she tends to be rather slow answering emails, and it being the silly season, I might not get a response for a week or so.... Question: Can you use the HD powders with Q monomer? For example, using HD Cover Pink with Q...

I found some information on another board I frequent (www.fashion-incubator.com) - I am also a seamstress and thats my other hangout. Anyway, in the US there are new regulations coming into play with regards to toy/clothing manufacturers which brought up some great discussion about...

In my head (that scary place) P/W is a "summer look" but I have noticed that not many people here (Wellington) actually like/want pink and whites. (The other part of my brain also says that the P/W trend is probably on the way out as a whole...but that could just be me). Mind, a lot of the...

My soon-to-be-15 year old son volunteered himself to me my lab rat for nails.....and I tried an experiment on him I wanted to share. I recieved my Avolve trial kit last week (amazing stuff btw) so I came up with an idea for a "test" and proceeded to do a clear NNO on each of the fingers on...

OK so I started my conversion/foundation for EZ Flow this week.....and I gotta say, WOW, what a cool product! So far, only two things that bug the *&( out of me (I'm sure its me)....but these are they/them, so any feedback would be appreciated. First I know its harder to change habits when...

OMG I hate the damn things...seriously! When I learnt (dark ages mind) we used metal forms for sculpting.....so I have these blasted paper ones now and I am just so aggravated! :irked: Any tips on getting the buggers to stay where the hell you put them so that you get a nice c curve? For...

Hello All, I'm in Wellington and have been going a bit bonkers trying to figure out WHAT it is I need to do in order to work as a mobile nail technician. For the life of me I cannot find any information on the chambers of commerce or business development websites about the requirements. 1...

So, today was chatting with the hairdresser and even though she took about 3" more off of my hair than I wanted, it was very....auspicious. We were chatting away about how I wanted to get back into doing nails and discussing the info that I have found out already and she said, "hey, I have...

Warning: Novel follows, please bear with me. As some of you know already, I trained in the US in the 1980's on IBD and then took a long break from nails (life, it gets in the way)...anyway I got myself some TT about four years ago and started practicing again (on myself and friends to see if...

As some of you know, I trained in the 80's and am now contemplating getting back into the biz (btw: re: my earlier question regarding TT - looks like I'll have to take a refresher in Auckland once I get to NZ, thanx for all the responses)....:) Anyway, read the whole five pages on well less...

Back in the 1980's I trained on IBD L&P. Worked independent for a while, got out of it, and have now been pondering jumping back in, getting try it kits and using them on myself....only thing is....will be moving from the US to NZ, so I am trying to figure out a few things. Mind, I like TT...

Nothing against everyone else but I'm stateside and I need the US Geeks to advise on a few things, if possible. What is the best training here in the States? I trained 20 years ago :eek: in IBD L&P and I've been researching and it seems that not many IBD, EzFlow classes are to be had in the...
