Good poll! Isn't it interesting most of the respondents work for themselves-I don't think many employed therapists/technicians have the same passion for their work :?:

Hi all! My computer has been down over all of xmas and new year i'm so glad to finally be back online! I bought my popits on the launch week at leeds and have tried clear over a white tip and NNOs. Have had NNOs on for almost 5 weeks now with no probs at all the popits are absolutely fab...

I think their founder was an orthodontist or something X

It's something to do with dentistry I can't remember the long name but I'm sure someone else will know-it was in Scratch a few months ago X

Aaargh is everyone getting excited now I know I am lol! Haven't been this excited since I was a kid at xmas!:D

Why don't you try using a 100 grit file and switch to a 180 as you get closer to the nat nail/tip hun? X

I can't find the extending the nail bed tutorial and it would be really helpful-has it been taken off? It's probably just me not looking properly lol!:?:

Yup I have a lovely new client with MS that is quite far progressed and she says pedicures-the massage in particular-give her a lovely tingly feeling in her feet. Her circulation is terrible bless her but the massage really helps disperse the fluid build up too X

Cream puff and mostly negligee but some clients prefer M&R X

Hi, I split 50/50 with the hairdressers (apparently this is how hairdressers work) I work from 2 days a week but she was very generous and offered me 60/40 through Nov while it is quieter to make it woth my while being there. After 6 months she wants £50 a day though which I think is very...

I know this is a little off subject but can you believe a client who has previously only been to a NSS actually asked me to cut off her hyponichium with my cuticle nippers because she didn't like the look of it. Apparently every time she had had her nails done before they had used the E-file to...

Thanks for all your replies I will definitely be recommending overlays and to keep them shorter! X:green:

Maybe I was a bit confusing-the tip itself didn't actually break it was as if the glue had broken down so the end of the enhancement wasn't attched to the natural nail anymore and then it broke across the stress line so that the whole tip came off X

Hi all, I have recently had a problem with a client who is a hairdresser and I wondered if anyome would be able to shed some light on it for me? She had a full set on 2 weeks ago and broke one by falling over and then said another one fell off (they were both the ring fingers which are a little...

Just had a thought-will the new application method affect training courses or will it be something that qualified techs can get involved in if they choose? From what I understand it is not a replacement for professionally sculpted nails so will new techs have to master the original method...

Yep I totally agree no master technician should charge £25.00!!! I'm sure you could both put your prices up, if you're worried about the competition I found when I was charging £30.00 people thought they wouldn't be as good as the place down the road that charge £37.00. So I put mine up to...

I was told the other day that Fabric# will be changing to Fibreglass and I will have to continue from my Fabric# induction and do a masters in Fibreglass plus my other masters???

Sometimes I find french polish highlights ridges in the nails so I mainly put the white on first and touch it up, put a coat of ridge out over that, a coat of negligee and then a coat of super shiney. I know you should use a base coat but I find this gives a really flawless finish and only lasts...

Wow Carl your site is amazing! Personally I had acrylics since I was 13 and then decided to do a BTEC in beauty therapy just because I liked the look of it followed by all my Creative courses and mobile tech work. My BTEC then came to an end and I realised if I had to work full time to support...

Hi, the salon down the road from me has a rather flamboyant male client and honestly no-one bats an eyelid, you'll be fine I think you should just walk in and ask or at least call the ones in the yellow pages X
