Can you shellac over a nail tip as my own nails are not long. And, if you can, do you techs find that as the natural nail grown underneath, that the client then ends up with her own nail long after say 3-4 shellac sessions. Thanks.

Thank you all so much. I will head off to Sallys and get myself a huge bottle of the stuff. If that does not improve things then I will take the other advice and go down the Wella enriched avenue. Hairdressing has changed so much over the past 15 years. I have never even heard of 'hair...

Does anyone know of this product and what it has been rebranded as. I was a hairdresser for over 40 years and we used to use this conditioner in the salon and it was FAB, and gave such wonderful results. Now I am older (gone 60 now eek) my hair has gone really dry, dull and basically looks...

I was 50 when I trained, and I found that ladies loved to be treated by an older lady, after all, we see all these unobtainable photos in glossy mags of stick thin beautiful women, and often ladies with 'not so prefect' bodies feel inferior. If you are an older lady offering services, then they...

Wise move on your dads part, buying and living in Bulgaria is so cheap, and sooooo laid back life style. Just looked on the map and Vratsa is in North West Bulgaria, and we are on South East part. In fact we are only about 15 mins drive from the Turkish border, and not that far from the Greek...

I know this is a long shot, but we moved out to live in Bulgaria last year and love it, but was just wondering if there is anyone else on here who either lives in Bulgaria or has a holiday home over here. Plenty of Brits here already, but was wondering if there is any Geeks out her apart from me.

Sounds a bit like the tip and dip system. I have only ever used this system on myself as I found that try as I may and just could not get good results with either Acrylics or gells, purely because my left hand just cant control the brush like my right hand could. So I used tradition Acrylic or...

Hmmmm, sorry to put a bit of a negative slant on this, but do stress this is only my own personal experience of TFT, so no dissrespect to any practitioners out there ok. But I went for a couple of sessions of TFT to try to boost my confidence, and yes she started to ask me what my stress levels...

I think that maybe you should ask for a one-to-one with your tutor and ask him/her to watch your white tip application and then tell you where you are going wrong. Hope you get it sorted out soon love. Dont get downhearted about it, we all go through periods like this in the beginning.

I live in Middlesbrough, North East, and I will gladly be a model for anyone wanting to practice nails or treatments. Im an ex geek who had to give up doing nail enhancements due to my eye sight deteriorating. But remember how I struggled to find models when I was training, so willing to offer...

Hi all. Im an ex Geek, but come on the site a lot to look at the wonderful gallery. I live in Middlesbrough, so near a lot of you. Had to give up being a nail tech as my eye sight really deteriorated badly and I could not work on clients any more. I really miss the nail industry though. On...

yes, so do I. lol.

Ok, I live in Middlesbrough, North East England. And I want a particular set of nails, and this is what I want, and wonder if anyone in the surrounding area can do these for me................. thanks in advance. 1 Natural colured tips, with a clear nail bed, as I have nice pink nail...

I live in the North East, but do go down to Nottingham a lot, so I am looking for someone who does the semi permenant make up, like eye liner tattooing and also lip liner with a bit of lip infill colour too. Does anyone on here know of a really skilled technitian on here who they can recommend...

Thanks you two, appreciate your answers. My one concern with what I read about all HLVP units is that fact that they are noisey. Wonder if this will be off putting to the clients. Are there any types of machings which are quieter.

If you are running a mobile tanning business, could I please ask which machine you are using, and if you have any problems with it. Many thanks.

Have any of you who do the spray tanning systems ever had clients who are allergic to the products. If so how did the allergy display itself, i.e. rashes, itching, skin break down etc. Also do you get clients to sign a disclaimer before the tanning sessions which would clear you of any action...

Does anyone know where I can buy a really good glitter nail varnish. I have bought about 3 so far and they are just not glittery enough for me. I find that the best time to buy the glitter nail varnishes in the shops is around Christmas time, but I cant wait that long. So any advice would be...
