Heidi, Not been on the site for a while so only just spotted your question. Although I am in Australia I fear you may find the same thing I have - Creative products are VERY expensive out here, not cheap in the UK (hey, you get what you pay for) but with the additional shipping costs for...

Hi Samantha, Long time no speak, hope you are well. Can I just point out that I ordered some stuff from Leeds last week and they CAN'T (or won't) deliver to Australia, so this doesn't help.... I emailed you sales team and asked if I could have a regular UK county code phone number that...

Hi, Been ages since I've posted so apologies if I'm putting this in the wrong place..... Are there any nail techs out there who are local to Wokingham/Reading? I am FINALLY emigrating to Australia and am looking to find a tech to potentially take on a client. She comes to me in Wokingham in...

Thank you :D Ain't she just! Thanks all for advice, funny enough I was thinking this morning about trying fibreglass so might just do that when I get time(????) :D

Hope you've all had a good Christmas & have a Happy New Year. I've been a tad busy with the little one so not been geeking for a while, but I'm after some advice please. I've never had any problems with my nails before but during my pregnancy (and still having the same problem now 5 weeks...

After my previous thread to say baby would be born by C section last Thursday, she decided on one last surprise........ I went into labour on Wednesday morning (last week) and had her by emergency C section on Wednesday afternoon. Katie Victoria was born at 15:14 weighing 6lb 15oz. I'll...

Hiya, It depends on what you class as 'injure'. I have, once or twice made a clients' finger bleed slightly at the cuticle when using a new file. I've just made sure I clean it, that it doesn't keep bleeding, doesn't hurt and ensure the client is ok. I've disposed of the file aftwerwards...

I've got bumpy nose from a break too! Can handle it face on view, it's just a bit of a bump at the top but my profile is horrible - fortunately I don;t have to look at that!! I have thought about a nose job, but I've also seen someone after one and their whole facial features were COMPLETELY...

Well you can ignore the ticker.... Had a scan on Thursday as the midwife I saw this week thought the baby might be small. She is fine size wise but the scan did show that she is breech! (Would have been nice to have found this out a bit earlier, especially as I had voiced concerns that what...

I'd like to treat a friend to a beauty treatment or 2 but she lives in Swindon and I don't know the area well enough to know where is good or not. Can anyone recommend a beauty salon, it doesn't have to be in Swindon itself, in the surrounding area would be OK too. Need to be able to see...

Not just any MOBILE tech should have insurance - ANY tech or beauty therapist should have insurance. Why do you need it? I take it you don't drive around in an uninsured car? It shows your client you are serious about your business, and also that you have a proper qualification certificate...

You use it if you smudge the polish. You just go over the smudged bit a number of times and it kind of 'melts' the polish a bit and allows you re-manipulate it to cover over where you've smudged it. I've used it on myself odd times, but have found it depends on how badly you smudge the polish...

I'd be up for this but sadly it's a bit close to when baby is due, and you can guarantee if I committed myself she'd decide to turn up at the wrong moment! Although, does it work like M&S - If I went into labour whilst working there would I get loads of free clothes? LOL!

Hiya, I think the reason for this is that someone with poor circulation may not be able to judge if the mitts got too hot and could be more at risk of getting burnt. I'd have thought if you didn't heat them to max, and checked them yourself (bear in mind if you are naturally warm or cold) to...

For the sake of £40 odd a year, it's not worth the risk compared to what getting sued might cost!

Check out www.hse.gov.uk for advice and leaflets. Alternatively check to see if you have a Business Link in your area, I got loads of info from them. You need a written health & safety policy if you employ more than 5 people. There are many regulations that don't apply if you work from...
