Just a quickie, is Shellac top coat supposed to be thicker than the colour and base coat? I did shake it very well, done 3 sets of nails so far with Shellac and loving it but my top coat seems very thick. It actually reminds me of the Brisa top coat! Thanks:hug:

just thinking aloud here. I have to sell my house next year, and I cannot afford to live in Norwich any longer:cry: so now that my children have grown up and I don't really have any other ties, I'm thinking of moving to another part of the country. Does anyone rate the Derby/Nottingham areas...

I was wondering, how do companies like Sweet Squared, LeChat, EzFlow, NSI, etc. decide on who to list as salons that offer their treatments? I mean, like, a member of the public calls them and asks for the name of a salon that offers the products in her area? Do they go by who has ordered it...

I know this sounds wierd, hear me out! I just got my Shellac and am dying to try it out. However, there's an alternative (ie goth/punk) fair coming up, and I'd like to put some funky MINX on to parade around, and hand out a few flyers, business cards, etc. So I was wondering, if I put my...

I'm really sorry but I'm so confused by Facebook. Been on it for ages, but I still don't understand the difference between a facebook page and a group. And I don't understand which is better to create for my mobile business? If anyone can clear this confusion up for me I'd be extremely...

Can anyone tell me where is the best place to get an adjustable height stand/tripod for my practise heads from? Thanks:hug:

Hi As per my other thread re further training, I've just been looking at the Sally Salonservices website, and there's cutting training there by Rand Rocket. Has anyone had experience of this? I'm thinking of possibly doing it, but with my nails/beauty training, I know that some wholesaler...

Hi guys, I've not been around for a while:hug: Here's my situation. I did an evening NVQ2 hairdressing over 2 years, I qualified in 2009. I didn't feel that I had enough chances to work on the public at the time, and got an offer of unpaid training in a unisex salon, primarily doing mens...

I've been to the LeChat distributors today, bought several gels, but unfortunately they were completely out of what I describe as a pillarbox red. I need to get a true bright red, the rockabilly/Dita Von Teese look. I stupidly forgot to ask which one would be the best. Can anyone tell me what...

Just been looking at the list of exhibitors for Beauty UK at Birmingham next week, and noticed Bio Sculpture isn't on there. Does that mean they're not going? It's one of the main reasons I was going to go! It's a long way to drive when my favourite brands appear to not be represented.

Gel question for you, anyone who uses LeChat Nobility gels, I bought just a couple to try ages ago, used the white and clear with great success, but I've had the sweet 16 (bright pink) and black lust (black) sitting in a drawer for a while. The pink is fine, but the black seems rather wishy...

You'll see in my blog my current work situation, but what I'm wondering, is do any of you know, if your contract says 1 month notice, what can they do if you don't work that notice, say, you tell them you're leaving in 1 or 2 weeks time? Also I've been told by a friend that although I've not...

Hi guys, I'm wondering does anyone know if you can rent a room above a shop that's advertised as an office and use it as a nail/beauty salon? There seem to be lots more small office spaces available in my area than retail spaces. They are usually cheaper too. Thanks :hug:

Hi I got a phone call today, a lady wants me to do a pamper party, it's a hen weekend, with 20 people:eek:. She wants it on one night, so I've come up with the following as a plan, please let me know if you think I'm talking out of my bottom, and if you have any better ideas, I'd be glad to...

I'm currently working in a nail bar, but am wanting to start up self employed. I'd like to rent a room to do nail extensions, manicure, pedicure, but hopefully also include spray tans and waxing, facials, etc. all of which I'm trained/experienced in. Therefore a room above a hair salon or...

I really didn't like my Blackberry so I just got a Nokia 5800 touch phone. I'm loving everything about it so far - except that I can't seem to get onto Salon Geek with it:eek: I can see other websites that I've tried, but Salon Geek just shows a blank white screen. Does anyone know what I...

I have been looking and looking to learn about the history of the role of the nail technician or manicurist, and I just came across this on the internet http://www.scratchmagazine.co.uk/NEW_IMAGES/NEW%20Pages%20for%20Web/%20MAY%20Nail%20Fashion%20SINGLE.pdf It's EXACTLY what I've been...

I have an interview on Friday, and if I get the job (not telling any more until I know whether I got it:rolleyes:) I will be working in the city. The car parking is £5 per day, and the bus is around £4 per day, and I don't want to be spending that kind of money if I can help it. I've decided...

I recently bought the LeChat Nobility starter kit and a few colours. I'm loving the product, but I'm not getting the same shine that I get with NSI Glaze & Go. I know you can use the other gel that's in the red container, should I get some of that? I just feel that if I use that, the nail's...

Hi all, was gonna blog this, but I thought more people would read it here! I just wanted to say, thanks to all the Geeks in Geekdom! Without you guys, and your encouragement, help, advice, and understanding me when I waffle on about nails/beauty/hair stuff, I wouldn't have still been in the...
