Thanks ladies. I am going to register, sod my family. They are just thinking of making a few quid so no one can get hold of it. It is me that will suffer in the end & go to jail, not them. So, i am definately gonna do it. I knew i was right about this and not them. I might need a bit of advice...

Can someone help out on this matter please as it is causing a bit of a disagreement in the family. I will try to explain it as clearly as i can. I have been a mobile nail tech for a few months now and have been insured with babtac from the beginning, but my business has not been registered...

Thanks for the advice peeps and i now have a good & clear idea of what to do & what to expect. I will have to get preparing now with some of these great ideas that you`se have given me. What a small world Lil. That would be great if you could let me see some pics of what you did. Would really...

I have been approached by the local council to do a nail & beauty demo at a wedding fare next month. The trouble is, as i have only been mobile for 8 months, i have never done one before & have no one to ask how to do this. Can anyone give me some tips on certain things please. * What do you...

Signed up peeps. Lets hope something gets done. Laura.x.:)

I am using CND ( love it !!!) & i did over exaggerate a bit ladies. Only one of my regulars nails goes a bit dark & i think it may just be as geeg said, the smoking & maybe the working enviroment she works it. Others are ok. I feel abit better knowing others have clients that come and go...

Seen one of my clients in passing today, she was in a sandwich shop. Well she is due have her infills done on Saturday, but I noticed she didn`t have any nails on. I phoned her to see if she still wants me to come, but I have had no reply. I am wondering if clients don`t like the pink part of...

I think i may just do that. Only been mobile 5 months & gradually getting to grips with enhancements. They are good i think, and so do my clients, no complaints...but i need to have more practice at perfecting that smile line. So yeh...i will keep practicing & maybe once i have done it, i may...

ok peeps, i think i may just stick with what i am doing. It seemed like a good idea anyway, Laura.x.

Just like everyone, i am always looking for new products & techniques to make the job alittle faster. Well i have seen a product called `Perfect Smile` from www.nailorder.com. Has anyone else seen & tried these? They are white plastic strips. They seem ok. They can be used over the natural...

Thanks Mat. Were can i get it from because i can pass then this advice onto her & she can see if it may help the condition a bit. If you have any info, please let me know, Laura.x.

A client of mine phoned up yesterday saying she needed infills this week instead of next week. Next week would have been 3 weeks. She said no matter how much oil she uses, they just kept drying out & plus peeling off around the cuticle, especially at night. She said they have dried out alot...

Does anyone know of any gel refresher courses around the south yorkshire area such as worksop, mansfield, chesterfield, doncaster, rotherham or sheffield area that i could pop along too. I have just had a look at the local suppliers website for a gel refresher course and there isn`t anything. Or...

Yeh, we were trained at college for gel nails, but not as much as acrylic. The teacher wasn`t bothered by which product we used. There were about 5 different products. The instructor used NSI, but we were giving other stuff to use. I can just barely remember what she did. As geeg said, i must...

I am still puling my hair out on this one. I did a client at the weekend, who had gel nails. I don`t get many clients having gel, ( thank god) but when i do, they mess up. I dread it when they ask for a full set, but i go on & do them. They are lovely when i leave them, then a few days later...

Great. I had a slight idea that is what i was supposed to do but wasn`t sure. Thanks gals, Laura.x.

I am a bit puzzled on this one.I have been in the business 18 months and i thought i would start using french white tips. But i am unsure on what to use to get rid of the shine. I have been using the smooth side of the bommerange file, you know the one you use to smooth the finished acrylic...

Some of these things just go completely over my head, as i can not get my head around some of these techniques. I have to read over & over again to imagine them. I know we all want to do things quicker but isn't the health & safety of the clients natural nails the most important things here...

Why should you not use clear? I thought it would be better with the clear. More transparent. They look great. Laura.x.
