Hi - I qualified (quite) a few years ago with a VCTC in Nail Enhancements (L&P) and Manicure but due to having babies and ill health have not been practising for quite a long time and have been doing other various part-time jobs. My youngest is 4 months old and am having to think about going...

Hi guys My little boy who's three and half seems to have developed really (and I mean really) flaky nails and several have split right accross half way down (both toenails and fingernails) so the top half of the nail comes off much to his distress. Why is this and what can I do about it?

Hi guys Feeling a bit pants at the mo so feeling sorry for myself :sad: . Just wondered how much support you feel you've had from husbands/partners in setting yourself up in business, mobile or even just doing your training? I feel like I've found something that I really love doing for the...

Hi all I don't know about anyone else but I would find it really helpful to be able to save certain threads somewhere - a bit like saving website URL's under 'Favourites'. I can't see that this this is already available on this site (if it is I would be really grateful to know how!). I often...

I normally dread French Manicures but did one last night and decided to try using a nail art brush instead of the one that comes with the polish. WOW!!! It was a doddle - I used a fine detail brush and with the lovely consistency of CND's cream puff the results were just fab - nice crisp lines...
