Hi everyone I am interested to know who people have their salon insurance with? I have mobile nails and tanning ins with ABT at present but need to add extra cover for my salon - contents, extra public liability etc but they are asking a minimum of £160 approximate for £10,000 contents cover...

I've got the opportunity to go on an individual lash extension course this weekend. It's £150 plus an extra 10% disc with a kit with chic lashed and brows. Has anyone trained with them and if so, can you tell me what you think? Thanks :)

I'm sure I recall seeing an offer of the 50 foil soak off kits available in Scratch. From memory I think it was something like ten kits for XX with a saving of around £2.50 per kit. Has anyone seen this or have it in Scratch as I can't find it. Can you let me have the details please :)

Hi, I would like to add this service and have already decided that Nouvatan is the product I would like to offer. Could you please tell me where I could get the best training in the greater Manchester area? Thanks :)

A friend had just sent me a link for a KGB Deals offer for the above at the well being centre in Manchester. Normally worth £72 :( This has lost me clients as a lot of my friends use these deal sites. I know they will only go the once but what upsets me is the lack of loyalty. Perhaps I'm...

i have just received my delivery from Ellisons with my Intrinsic gauze wipes - it is a while since I've ordered any but these used to be great, completely lint free. What i have been sent now contains a lint pad within the gauze and is no use to no what so ever! I would like to try soft...

I have recently returned to salongeeks after a change in career for just over three years and have got myself up and running with Gelish. I am almost sorted with regard to kit but the last thing to arrange is a suitable case/bag to transport/pack everything into. I have been looking at Roo...

I know there have been many, many threads over the years about the best storage for mobile techs, however, on Sunday I saw someone with a very small beauty case - similar to the vanity cases with fasteners and handles only this one was about 12" x 4" and 1 or 2" high. The lady who had it used...

I've just done a set on a friend of mine and realised at the second coat of colour i hadn't put the cure time upto 30 seconds on my lamp! I did the second coat at 30 and top it off but a bit worried as my first coat of colour only had ten! Too much talking and not enough concentration! Will...

I am taking the plunge into the ocean that is Gelish colours very soon and will be ordering my first ten colours in the next few days. Deciding which colours to get is becomming a bit of a nightmare for me. My initial client base isn't going to be a particularly young generation (no offence...

Hi everyone I've been away from the nail industry for about 18 months but am trying to get back into it. I have been impressed by the addition of products such as Shellac and Gelish to the industry as I always preferred improvement to the natural nail and encouraging natural nail growth...

I have put a tip and pink acrylic overlay on my nails with poppits and didn't like them plain but they have to be for college at the moment so in a fit of boredom and madness I decided I NEEDED some colour on my nails so I did an overlay in gel using the Ezflow Angel and lil devil collections...

Well as I have assessments at college for the next two weeks, I have had to take my lovely santa's hat off my nails and just have very boring, short, plain enhancements on. Using poppits might I add... hmm.. need lots more practice with these things.. sizing especially. Fed up... hmph...

While at the sholesalers the other day I saw one of the lovely staff there and she had some gorgeous short stilletto's on. They were santa's hats.. They looked so effective I just had to try one out before I have to severely shorten my nails for my assessment in college on Monday. I have tried...

Ok so I've just had a row with hubby over the proposed congestion charging in Manchester City Centre and was wondering what other people think about it. I've got mixed views as I know that something needs to be done to reduce the traffic in the city and also to improve public transport because...

To try to get into the christmas spirit I decided my nails just weren't christmassy enough.. I have been dying to do some red glitter tips since I saw Geeg's tutorial on here. Have done this using the reverse application technique.. I took my white zone 1 down and sculpted a new zone 1 in...

Hi all.... My nephew is getting married next summer and his beautiful fiancee would like me to look at doing a set of nails for her, not really wedding nails but because she has a problem with one of her thumbs. She explained that she's never been able to have them done because they...

After receiving some fantastic help from a fellow geek (you know who you are) on the reverse application technique I have had my first try on myself. I have used the new nsi purely pink masque in zone 2 and double dipped with clear in zone 3. I've been reading a few threads recently about...

After seeking some advice over yellowing resin and crystalised bubbles in the nail geek forum (excellent advice by the way geeks :) ), I have had two more attempts this morning on myself. This is the result of the second attempt. The first one I decided to place a stress strip across zone 2...
