:eek: Hi all, Just wanted to come and say hello AGAIN! Brief history: I did my manicure, nail enhancement & nail art VCTC (or is it VTCT?) in 2002 at college (night school). Thought (at the time) it was fabulous and went mobile, creating nail exensions to anyone who'd av 'em! After a...

I did a VTCT course at college 12 months ago and i gotta say i feel completely lost in the world of nail techs. The course teaches you the very bascis of acrylic and gel application and then the rest is up to you. (We didn't do anything on sculptured nails!) As i am VERY determined person i am...

All i need to say is DEIDRE BARLOW in coronation street......my god they're awful!

Hiya Christie, i just wanna say how fab your artwork is! I have copied (hope you dont mind) the hibiscus flowers from your "fantastic" tutorial.......they didn't look like hibiscus flowers when i'd finished with them...he he. I shall keep trying. I think i would have more inspiration if i...

Has anybody used the Nail Solutions L&P? Or the quitissence (soz spelling!) Can anyone give their opinions on this product please :D

Can anyone give me any info on where i can learn to sculpt? I live in the manchester area. I would laso like to do a class on P&W's. The course i did was a VTCT (or was is VCTC, TVTC??) LOL and unfortunatley it only taught me the basics of liquid/powder, gel & fibreglass. The rest was practise...

Thanks Fiona, It sounds ok....I know the manicure products he is going to use is Jessica (i know they are great) So hopefully the Acrylic & Gel will be of similar standard. I'm not sure though i am happy with £15 a set.....I can get £25 (less stock used) as a mobile tech although the clients are...

What type of system does everyone prefer to use? I find that most of my clients like acrylic which is what i tend to stick with! Although i would love find a soak off gel and convert them all (I prefer the look of Gel)....Any (uncomplicated) advise on gels would be appreciated!

Great Job, I LOVE flowers......you are very talonted!

Copied from a website on MEDIAN NAIL DYSTROPHY:- :rolleyes: The condition was first identified in 1928 and is similar to habit tic disorder or onychotilloma. If a client's fissure seems to begin at the cuticle, an unconscious habit of rubbing or picking at the proximal nail fold area may...
