Hiya folks long time no see, but this is just a quickie. Apologies that I may find the answer in existing threads but to be honest I haven't got time to search. Will explain all in chit chat another time! I have a client coming in a couple of weeks that wants nice nails for her holiday...

I just wanted to share being the proud mother..................my eldest son, Alex who is 15, has just passed his black belt grading in karate today...........after 8 years working his way through the grades. He was nervous and so was I! Bad timing though........my youngest son was finishing his...

I know many of you design your own aftercare leaflets and wondered if you could give me any help/examples. I primarily want to produce a leaflet to promote natural nail care at home, to then help retail all the creative products and Spa manicures and pedicures. I do gel nails as well, but really...

I am busy beavering away trying to expand my business and I am coming unstuck with a couple of things. I am planning kids parties and ladies evenings and will be including a party bag in the price. I am trying to find mini bottles of nail polish (pretty girly colours and glitters) and also nail...

Hiya everyone I would love some advice from any of you that not only have your own website but sell online as well. I currently work from home but next year will lose my workroom when building work starts on our house. I keep going round in circles as to how to keep working during this period...

Hi everyone Just had to share my news as all my friends are away on their hols. I took my Calgel exam yesterday and have just heard that I PASSED! Yipee. I was away on my hols until this weekend and so I had to take my workbook away with me to do some revision. Needless to say I didn't do very...

I have just been reading my new copy of Prof Nails and had to laugh when I reached page 24. There at the top of the page is a piccy of the Geek himself and.......the back of my head! This photo has now appeared in at least three nail mags - it's a shame I don't get royalties :rolleyes: ! It...

Has anyone out there trained in eyelash perming? I bought the kit at a show last year, but eventually decided that although it looks easy, I would be more comfortable doing some official training before letting myself loose on joe public! Anyhow, I am going away next week and thought it would...

I'm about to do my first spa pedi, but having not yet done the training I do not know when to incorporate the heated booties. As I previously offered them in my deluxe pedicure, my clients are expecting the heat! The treatment looks ace from the video,but any help is gratefully received!

Hiya all I can't decide whether I'm really happy or really sad! I am starting some part time work this weekend at a beauty salon as a therapist. A friend of mine works there and suggested I approach them as they were needing staff. I currently work at home, but some time soon we will be...

Hiya all, I'm going to start offering ladies pamper parties and can't quite decide on the format. I've read lots of previous threads so have some fab ideas but maybe a few too many! Is it better to go: A) the Virgin Vie route and do one treatment such as mani or pedi and then make your...

I have just bought the spa manicure kit and watched the video. I am having the training in September (no time until then!) My question is, I have heated mitts but not paraffin wax. Does it work to put the hands in the mitts after the exfoliation or is this not moisturising enough without the...

I did my first set of french white tips with a transclucent pink overlay today. I use calgel and there's no info on this in the workbook. We were told to blend tips when using gel because it isn't as forgiving as acrylic, but on blending the tip it wasn't then the solid white. Then I layered...

Hi all, Here's something (rather long I know) that I thought might raise a few laughs:lol: Help me! I’ve got a male-function LAST year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting software, limiting access to...

Hiya all I need advice re the basics of nail art. I did a children's party and found that the nail art only lasted a couple of days. I was using the little pots of spangles paint - not too good I think.:sad: 1) Is there a good basecoat that anyone can recommend? 2) Likewise with top coat...

Hi, I have just registered today although I've been reading the messages for quite some time. Some things confuse me such as what is lol when it's not at the end of a message. Is it still lots of love? I am a beauty therapist of many years experience and therefore do many things other than...
