Im with prof beauty too, signed up through the ANT.

When you buy the creative spa manicure and pedicure kits together, you get a days training too, unless its changed.

The public buy them because they think its easy, and then of course they realise in aint. ANyway, half the time the stuff doesn't work. Four of my clients are guilty of buying the gel kit and then the gel wouldn't cure, and argos wouldn't accept it back because it had been opened. Its like...

Why do you have to remove whats already on? Go for Gel... just infill with gel and forget removal until she is past the 12weeks just to be on the safe side. Scrubfresh won't harm her, just keep the lid on when not in use and put the lint straight into a bag and dispose of straight away, and if...

Thanks everybody.. Its definately true that I have a passion for nails, and you're definately right that I need to persevere. The main thing that set me off into thinking I was rubbish was that a few days ago a got a call from one of my new clients. Now, I had gone round her house a week...

Just to update you all... I saw this client on Thursday (it had been 3 weeks since I rebalanced them) You were all right, she did have onycholysis 3 weeks ago. To be honest, when it was first suggested that she had this condition I broke out in a cold sweat because I'd already rebalanced her...

Hiya I am finding myself in the frustrating situation of needing to gain experience and I can't get any because of my current circumstances, ie main carer of young daughter. One of my new mates on here said, "If you don't ask you don't get", so here goes... I would like to gain some work...

Yes good idea, I will post a thread now, you never know do you? I just think no matter how much training you do, nothing can beat experience, and its frustrating me so much. People are so cruel as well.. you spend loads of time making sure everythings perfect from prep to apex and all they can...

Hi everyone. Im really sorry if this thread sounds like I am feeling sorry for myself, but I just feel like I'm getting nowhere fast! I keep plodding on doing bits of mobile work here and there, as much as I can fit in, and I feel as though it just isn't enough to get good at doing nails. Like...

"Encyclopedia of Nails" by Anne Swain & Jacqui Jefford is fab!

It depends, I did 5 girls which took me an hour, and 9 girls once took me 1hr 45mins.

okay thanks for that, I chatter too much is my problem. I need to learn to concentrate at the same time.:)

ooh I've just noticed you are linked into that site Fiona, did you know? :)

I really have to get this off my chest because it really worried me. I recently thought I would go and have my acrylics removed at a local salon to see how they did things, customer service and all that, and I was horrified when not only was I cut twice with the drill to the point where I bled...

I am probably way too cheap, but I charge £28.50 for 5 kids (under 14s only) and then £3.50 per additional child. I give them all their own scratch and sniff file, show them how to file their nails properly, teach them a bit about why not to bite them, and how to apply polish, why base/top...

Yeah you're doing fine, you can't please everyone. I have just started using the Performance White Tips from CND and I have to say they are a bit of a blessing. What I do is place the tip on the nail and then because they are so thin I use a natural powder to build the free edge. This has...

Hiya Laws, I've had this too with a client... spent 2 hours on her nails and worked extra hard on making sure the smiles were as perfect as they could be and she said at the end "Why didn't you just put white tips on? It would have saved you a load of time!" Disheartened or what? Trouble is...

Here's a few little tips that might help: When you start, dip your brush in the liquid so that all the bubbles come out (do this gently) then draw your brush out of the dish slowly getting rid of most of the liquid. I then dab my brush both sides on a tissue before starting, then I only put my...
