If your using tips, file the tip into the almond shape first then when it comes to finishing you will only have to refine the shape. David

No I would never offer a discount on my services. Clients are paying for my time. It is a business not a hobby. I have a client who told me I should do a 20% discount on one day a week for regular customers. I asked her if she would be happy to take a 20% cut on her wages one day a week from her...

Just tell her to come and see you after you have finished your training today. It's only going to take 14 mins and 10 seconds to re do it David

The key to not getting streaks is the angle as to which you hold your brush when applying the colour to the nail. If your holding the brush up at a 45 degree angle then you are basically applying and scraping the product off at the same time. Keep the brush as flat as you can to ensure a thin...

Any CND Technician looking for a fantastic working opportunity in Central London, please PM me. David

Im not getting the fascination of LED Lamps either. Great selling points of no need to change bulbs, dries in 30 secs and makes your client go WOW but I think it can put too much pressure on a person to perform up to the speed of the lamp, making the service more rushed so they dont feel they're...

Was it peeling from the free edge? If it was, after you have filed and done your pep, make sure you clean under the free edge of the nail removing all debris and then just go round the free edge with the 240 side of a Koala to ensure its a nice smooth seal and wipe under the free edge with...

I would firstly look at your polishing techniques, keep the brush as flat to the nail as possible, this will ensure an even coverage of product over the entire nail, if you are using the brush at more of an angle, when you pull your brush down to the free edge you will find you are starting to...

I use Lumos all the time with my polish wearing clients or if on shoots and never get a smudge from either. Lumos fast drying top coat is what it is.....a fast drying top coat. If you are applying your colour too thickly and then putting on your top coat, the solvents havent been allowed to...

Fiona, the voice inside says blog it....ha ha, I been dying to do that for ages.xx

Hi All, for those of you who are using Shellac, here is your 13th colour which is just the same as 'Spike'. Apply one coat of Fedora and cure then apply a coat of Red Baroness....... David

Hi Cathie, there's only so many clients you can do in one week. Whether your in one place or two. Wouldnt it be easier to do them all under one roof instead of running back and forth.....If your looking to switch to a new location, why not take your old client base with you to keep you going...

The NVQ is basic and I mean very basic.....I have learnt more about nails from training with my product provider (CND all do jazz hands please) than I did at college. Their business is nails, they know all things about nails and continue to invest in their company to educate and give us even...

Contact Sweet Squared on 0845 210 6060....they are the Educators/Distributors for Creative Nail Design. Their education programme is untouchable. The course you book on will also include your starter kit which enables you to recoup the money you spent out training with them. David

Im gonna disagree here....just a little anyway....lol. I think sometimes we are all to ready to listen to others and jump on the bandwagon and blame the product saying it doesn't last on fingers when infact we should be looking a little closer to home at our prep and application procedure. One...

Try CND glossing buffer, it brings nails to a glass like finish that lasts for 2 weeks. I then run a white pencil under the free edge to give a soft natural clean chic look, finished off with a bit of oil. David

Can I just point out that the client base you have built up during your employment with the company does infact not belong to you. If you decide to leave your present job, you are by law not allowed to tell the client of your intentions, solicit by any means or tell them where you are moving to...

In my experience, S2 have always been excellent at promoting the retail services of technicians to customers. It would be quite easy for them to take the money and keep schtum but I have had clients who have tried to buy polish, scrubs and creams from S2 and they have referred them back to me to...

Thanks Geeg, Im not actually looking for a polish range that is 3 free, Im looking for a range that contains all 3........ David
