Im going on the Sunday soooooo exited. I have never been to the show before & going on my own:eek: The bf said he would rather watch paint dry than go as he finds the beauty industry boring???? Dont worry I told him if he went then he CAN watch paint dry....... POLISH lol No seriously im going...

Too true Cathie. Wouldnt it be great if students could pay a set monthly fee to their educators & attend training on a more regular basis i.e one day a week. I would jump at the chance for that. i think education should be regular not a few days & then return a few months later. I wish lol

Of course not no! but MOST short courses are cheap & not sutible for a newbie.

I consider a short course to be a few days but with no continued training afterwards i.e 2 days L&P & thats your lot not unless you want to rebook & repeat the same course HTH

Perfect advise Geeg as normal. This applies to myself too. I used to want to do loads & loads of 121 courses thinking I would improve but now know that all I need is plenty of perfect practise & to do as many sets as posible. You already know in theroy how to do great nails but like myself need...

Very good thread and agree with most of the above comments But......... just to play devils advocate and to look at this from another angle the reason why some people chose cheap/short courses is because thats what they can afford & as much as they would like to just simply cannot afford to...

Hi all Has anyone used The Northwest Training Academy in Liverpool for anything? Thinking of maybe using them for spray tan & eye treatment training but have been stung in the past by some rubbish nail training & not wanting to go down the same route again? Cheers Dears xx:hug:

Hiya I get that feeling all the time so your not alone:hug: Im still learning & always get that dreaded feeling that the work you have done is not good enough but when you see them again for a rebal your shocked that they look great lol. This is called self doubt & is a good thing really it...

Hiya all I would give all my limbs not just my right arm to apprentice with someone like Sassy lol. Such a shame im old (29) & live miles away from her. Just imagin if one of us were invited to apprentice with Geeg:eek: I think I would p**s my knickers if I were invited lol. I know this tread...

Hiya & welcome to the site Why dont you have a look at www.proimpressions.com I use the well less tips but they stock a great range of express HTH

Hiya Maybe a 121 with your educator is worth considering? If its CND they will iron out any creases in no time & have you back on track. Its easy to fall into bad habits & is always worth a refresh now & again HTH xx

I have just got some NSI Balance gel & the Body Bulider gel & it's great. I really struggle with L&P (any brand) but since switching to gel I've been doing the best sets of nails I have ever done.

Thanks once again jessie :hug: Will grab myself some Body Buliler gel & have a go. The normal Balance gel is nice to use but want a bit more shape to the body of the nail rather than on the flat side lol. I find im having to cure very quickly after building up the stress area or it flattens...

Hi all Can you please advise on NSI gels? Am I correct in thinking the new Body Builder gel is thicker viscosity than the normal Balance gels & less self leveling? And has anyone used the new Body Builder gel & how do you find apex building/ strength with this? I am just "playing" with gels...

Hiya I always blend clear the same as natural. Customize tip then remove roughly 50% of contact area by placing tip between fore finger & thumb using my file angled downwards then buff over contact area before application to the natural nail. Then cut & shape tip to required length. After...

Am in the process of doing this & will post for all to see. Funnily enough I was using another well known brand to practise with on my training hand as did not want to wast my gorgeous CND l&p as not much left (placing order next week) but decided to have a go with CND & the result was...

Hi Geeg Bowing out of somthing or quitting is not in my vocabulary. I dont think I "have it" I KNOW I DO lol. Im just having a tantrum because im impatent and want to run before I can walk. Its just skill I lack not determination. Skill can be taught but not passion that is somthing we both...

Morning all Feeling a bit down today. :irked: No matter how much I practise I just cant seem to do l&P to a reasonable standard that I would be happy to offer a client not even a simple one colour tip overlay with pink or clear. I have read all the tutorial's on this have Gigi's nail...

Hiya Go to www.everythingairbrush.com & get yourself one of the cleaning kits. It has tiny brushes that will fit through your fluid nozzle & will allow you to scrub out the dried paint. Make sure you pull the pin back before you do this. Also take you airbrush unit apart and give it a good...
