    Where (ONLINE) do you buy your supplies?

    This is one of the reasons that I don't come on here as often as I used to. I'm tired of the 'holyer than though' philosophy that keeps coming up here in posts. For gods sake we are all still training, learning and aspiring to some point AND we all have to start somewhere. I personally find...

    Am I doing something wrong?? (NSI Technail)

    Hi, I do most of my nails with the coloured Technail kit. I don't mix them with any other powder and use Attraction liquid. If you need any help, let me know. Claire x

    Tanning Injections

    All I know about these is that they haven't even been tested and as such, are not classed as safe. That for me is reason enough not to even bother. Claire x

    Acrylic glitters

    Hi, I've been using fine body glitters that I bought from the Professional Beauty show at Manchester. They are a lot cheaper and there are some gorgeous colours. Other than that, just buy some from your local stationery store. I've also bought them in poundland. Claire x

    Trade testing/interviewing nail techs-what's acceptable

    What are you advertising? Are you specifying that you want a tech with ?? years salon experience or just that you want a nail technician? What about advertising in your local college for somebody who is just coming to the end of their training. You can then guide them into achieving the...

    Bloke sat on my bed while I was in the shower

    FFS you're not even safe in your own home any more and I bet this is what gets you the most. I'd have a word with the neighbour as well so they know what sort of a weirdo they're letting in the building. Wow, hope you're ok, take care. Claire x

    Rio nail extensions!!!! On tv

    Yes, but when they've ruined their own nails, aren't they going to think that all products will do the same thing? It should be banned, full stop. Self blending of tips?? 'The chemical smell from salon nails is awful, but you won't get this with Rio!' Thats what one of the presenters said...

    Massage whilst pregnant

    Whilst massage does stimulate lymph and blood flow and therefore oxygen and nutrients to area's of the body, it doesn't cause miscarriage. We do not perform Holistic therapies within the first 3 months because this period is the most 'at risk' time for miscarriage. This is because the foetus...

    Hand file vs Drill

    For me, unless you have a condition which restricts your ability to manually file, it's better to get your application perfect so that you a) have little filing to do to finish and b) have as little filing as possible on the rebalance. Once you've cracked this, then you can decide whether you...

    Why did my l&p with gel topcoat have craters in them?

    I use glaze n go on the top of my l & p and if I buff to a high shine before applying, I get craters. You need to leave it rough, but dust prior to application, this allows a good adhesion. I know this wasn't your problem here but I thought I'd share it anyway. :lol::) Claire x

    hmm.. VTCT Nail Technician or NSI Foundation

    Hi, Just remember that when you do a college course, the tutors are adhering to a course guideline as set by the awarding body (e.g. VTCT) and the tutors are experienced in their field. If you do a course by NSI or Creative for example, you are being trained in their product. I read a post on...
