Would any Kent <And surrounding areas> nail techs be interested if it were possible to arrange some nail art training here in the county? Am thinking of nail art in particular and something that goes a little beyond flicks/dots/decals - eg gel art/foil? If there is sufficient interest, maybe...

Right, who likes tennis on here and who is going to be hoping Andy Murray is going to be able to retain his title? Personally, much as I'd love it to happen, I don't think he's been playing his best this year since his surgery <understandably> and Nadal's definitely back on top of his game...

Just for fun/idle curiosity, how many of us are 'Dabblers' or 'Devotionalists' in terms of our nail products/brands? I can totally understand how when you've trained with a product and continue to be satisfied with it, you'd want to stick with same in terms of ease/cost effectiveness of...

Who likes it? Who is watching it and how do you think it compares to the summer olympics in terms of enjoyment? I am watching and quite liking it, but I have to admit I prefer the summer ones!

Having finally become interested in nail art with paints, as opposed to the more permanent variety with coloured/glitter powders and being weary of the old faithfuls ie flicks and dots etc, how did you go about practising/improving it? I am talking in terms of one stroke, watercolours and...

This is a place for all who have in the past/are having a difficult time this festive season for whatever reason. :hug: We may be remembering people we've lost/are losing etc. Christmas can be a bitter/sweet time and we can remember and pay tribute to them here. Most of us will be looking...

Now that the festivities are upon us, what are your food/drink treats, the ones that most encompass the whole Christmas experience and you couldn't possibly do without? Setting aside the traditional dinner/pudding etc, what really makes the season special for you? For myself, I'm not a...

Who are your favourites? Do you have any of their books and, more importantly, do you actually use their recipes? Who would you recommend? :)

Finally gave in and accepted that I had to pension my five year old and much loved laptop off. Husband is a computer buff, so chose me a new fangled thing with a much higher spec and generally all singing all dancing. Anyway, it's driving me mad. I get told it's 'Sensitive.' Sensitive, my...

Having wanted to get back into regular exercise that was a little more energetic <and calorie burning> than walking my tiny dog, I've recently started attending Zumba classes. I tried a Step class, but that seemed to strain the backs of my calves and have been advised that Kettlebell can put a...

Not wishing to stir up a hornet's nest here, but this is something I've been thinking about for a while ...... I love looking at/reading about and attempting to create really good nail enhancements. Although I seriously DO appreciate that some of it isn't salon viable, I adore the more...

I am becoming increasing dissatisfied with tipping in terms of the amount of messing about I seem to have to do in order to avoid what I think of as a set of 'Box' nails. :irked: That being the case, what do people do to avoid this? Do you shape them immediately you've tipped or wait until...

Wonder if anyone can help with a bit of advice on how best to deal with uneven sidewalls? I appear to have inherited some 'Dropped' ones from my mum and it makes it very hard to tip or sculpt them and produce an even appearance. The curve on some of them literally goes round the bend! :irked...

Just started using this paint and I'm running into a bit of trouble when I cap it. Not sure how much water I need to use with it, as the paint is rather thick? Anyone know precisely what to do, please? I find it's blurring and almost disappearing in places once I try to cap it, despite...

Although I intend to book a 121 for this, I'd appreciate a bit of interim help, please. :) I really want to get to grips with sculpting and I've sussed fitting the forms to flat nails, I think! My problem stems from no matter how I try to line them up level with the free edge, I still...

I am away from home at the moment, staying with my elderly mother in law. She is asking me what she can buy for her ridged, thin and peeling nails? She likes to apply nail polish as well. She has already tried Sally Hanson and gives it the thumbs down. I am far more into nail enhancements...

I am currently on a mission to get some different coloured soft, thin foil. I already have the gold and silver metallic ones from nfu oh, which are terrific, but I am hoping someone can point me in the direction of more, preferably metallic as well, please? :) It's the gold leaf type, not...

Just been watching vids of Sam Biddle and Kirsty Meakin doing some nail art/design using gels. Being curious, I would like to know what types/brands of gel are suitable for this type of detailing? I am not talking about builder type gels which are used to create structure, I'm interested in...

This is something I've been curious about ever since the advent of the new gel/polish/hybrids looming on the nail horizon. Please don't let this descend into cheap snipes along the lines of 'Mine's better than your's' or rants about lack of availability. Anyway, my question is how much of...

I have a friend who I exchange treatments with. She does reflexology and I do nails. Anyway, I have tried everything with her ie l&p, gel, backscratchers extreme glaze and now shellac. Nothing ever, ever lasts on her. L & p came back chipped and lifting right off on a couple of nails and no...
