They should be the same thing; infrared is the source/type of heat. If you got a kit from Minx, then your lamp should be fine. =)

What an exhaustive stereotype to have to live with. I think the environment in which you perform your services will have the most influence on how potential clients judge your ability, if that makes sense. If you work in a NSS or NSS-looking salon, then they'll probably be more inclined to be...

Ooh, sounds like fun! What a great research opportunity! In the US, each state has their own requirements for licensing/certification. I know in Colorado, people who want to transfer their credentials into a CO license are reviewed on an individual basis. Your credentials will probably...

That is definitely a considerable expense, but it doesn't have to be thousands. We just got a new Fax/Scanner/Copier/Printer for $75 and it works amazingly. Awesome quality and the ink cartridges aren't super expensive. From my experience, a standard desktop PC is more than enough to handle...

Cover letters are also outstanding tools for explaining long absences from work, etc. My husband is returning to work after a year out to record his music, and he didn't get any calls back until he noted in his cover letter the reason for "unemployment." Good luck!

Big hugs Kate! Are you going to The Event? Seeing some new tricks, getting some goodies, and meeting passionate Techies might be a good prescription. Maybe even just going to a show could get you that. Have you ever thought of teaching nails? Being exposed and inspring people who are just...

Hmm... The usual five pints sounds much better than 2 onion bhajis, 2 jaffa cakes, a burger, a slice of pizza, and a hot dog. That's probably not what they were going for!

LOL @ the neighbors! The big question is, what's going to happen when you do find out who it was? :eek: I prefer to make my own greetings cards, mostly because it's fun for me. It can be difficult figuring out what to write for every one, so I really only send ones to people I don't see or...

DUDE! You SOOO have to read Peony In Love by Lisa See! It is a historical fiction about the VERY first published literary criticism written by women in the world. The authors were wives of the same man, a poet, in China. None of them lived past the age of twenty. The major details of the...

I'm so new, but can I play too? Pretty please?

At one children's party I've done, the girls decorated flip flops to wear after they got their toenails done while they were waiting. You might also be able to do a scavenger hunt or some similar type of game for the goodie bags. Then again, a good ol' movie on the telly with cookies and juice...

Hey chica, if doing what is right will ruin your chances of getting the job, then you probably wouldn't want to be there anyway! If the owner gets funny, you could "blame" it on your fresh and recent training and recommendations from your brand! He/she can't argue with that! If you decide to...

Muchas muchas muchas gracias, Envy! Very much appreciated. =) Just to clarify, the way we do our basic manis, hands are massaged and cuticle softener is applied and hands are placed in warm mittens. Then cuticle work is done, the client washes her hands, and polish and SolarOil are applied...

Oh, me too, please! I've not heard of any of these books, but I'm willing to give anything a go! I've just finished Peony in Love by Lisa See. It's a historical fiction with a fantastic twist to it. Am currently obsessed with the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer... Purple Hibiscus will...

I'm not sure what ANT is, but joining a professional organization establishes oneself as a serious professional who is passionate about the industry and takes it seriously. Membership shows that one values upholding standards that are important to the organization (and usually to the industry...

Hey all, Does anyone know if it's appropriate to use warm mittens after applying CND Cuticle Remover/Cuticle Away and before doing the cuticle work? I read in a previous thread that the heat isn't necessary but my facilitate its work, but I'm not sure if that was in regard to CR or Cuticle...

You wouldn't let the distance of a university stop you from attending if it were touted as the best in what you wanted to study, would you? IMHO, if you really want to train with CND, you should, rather than settling for "second best" (just a saying, y'all) because you don't want to wait for...

Length shouldn't really be a problem... Are you capping the free edge and clamping the sides, as Angie mentioned? If the edges of the natural nail aren't secure, the product curls away from the natural nail causing reallllyyyy annoying lifting. Here's a great tutorial on it: Curlingonysuckus...

The speaker is awesome! Very clear, not to loud, and you don't have to speak loudly yourself... Or this could be an occasion where the Bluetooth Ear Beetle is actually useful!

Is there a supplier/distributor from which you can pick up Scratch while waiting for a subsription to arrive?
