    Why are most geeks not Premium?

    Its such a valuable resource that I was beginning to feel like I should really be giving something back. I dont really use the extra features, it was more about what I could give in return for all the help, support and information I get. IMO its doesnt cost the earth and its sooooo worth it...

    Purple'ish nails?

    Quite a few gel finishing gloss products give a lilac hue they are all especially noticable under a uv lamp. In normal daylight its not that noticable but some are with pink and white and over certain coloured tips and gel polish. Over black tips it can make them go a bit purplely for...

    What application were you taught first

    I was taught nat tips with clear overlay in silk/fglass, l&p, gel and light cured l&p. I was also shown white tips. Not a pink & white in sight! I am self taught p&w and sculpting with gel but have had 1 2 1 with Graftons to help me recently.

    i need help

    Katie, Almost certainly too much bonder. Make sure you blot it with a sponge before curing. Some people dont get on with the bonder and change it for the liquid primer which might help you. Otherwise its your prep. You probably know to avoid getting product on the skin but check your...

    Home Salon - Advice

    My home salon used to be a study, I can fit a couch, nail station and set of drawers to one side and a sideboard where I keep all my stock and retail items on display on top. Its not massive but probably about the size of a regular bedroom. Our house is also 5 bed, I chucked my hubby and...

    Kiddies - they grow up so quick! ....sniff....

    Its my eldest boys 6th birthday tomorrow. I've just been wrapping his pressies and having lots of melancholy thoughts about how time has flown. His Dads out of the country on business (as ever) so I guess I'm missing him particularly this week. To those of you who have tiny ones or are about...

    What part of your nail education have you enjoyed the most?

    I'm very much a one woman band, dont have much support from family and freinds with what I do and generally feel a bit lonesome in my quest for the best home salon I can have. So for me (apart from learning) one of the best bits is being in the company of people who really want to learn about...

    Someone help me with my skin!!!

    Thanks very very much to all that replied. I managed ladies day and after a few glasses of bubbly I didnt care! The spotty chin eventually cleared up but here we are a few weeks later they are back again and seem to have appeared around my nose too. Now I've come full circle and have seen...

    back problem is killing me

    Its so important to look after your back, everyone does naughty things which strain it many times a day. Its not until you develop a problem that you realise how debilitating it can be. I had seriously slipped disc which I had corrected with surgery last October, its still not right and I've...

    There are a few geeks in wales, not sure about the geography though. Some of them arent online/post all that much (thinkin about Vanessa and Tamzin for example who are fab girls). Might be better to repost this thread something like "Models needed in Wales", that might get there attention.

    I use IBD every day and love it. They do a good range of builder whites, and coloured gels, its known to be strong. I've got a few bits of Akzentz as its quite compatible with IBD and they work well together, I use their paint on white for example as the option there with IBD is their winter...

    Need Advice on Buying an Existing Salon

    You could try joining the federation of small businesses, they give free legal/business advice on things like this. You have to pay to be a member but it might save you mocy in the long run plus there are other perks.

    hot pink - what do you think?

    I think hot pink is great if you are going for younger clients. I've got alot of it in my treatment room, looks great against white. Do you know if pink suits you though? I've worn it for years and years and last week had my colours done. The consultants first words during the consultation...
