    Are these the worst nails .....

    :eek: If I didnt know better I'd say someone done this as a joke :( It's salons like this that give the rest of us bad names :mad: I'd be inclined to book myself in to get a birds' eye view of what exactly their 'professional' service entails.

    Your car says alot about you! What do you drive??

    I :Love: my Nissan NX100. It's great in the summer to be able to whip the roof off, put on a pair of shades and do some posing :biggrin: Unfortunately, I'm having to sell it due to pending arriving of buldging belly - the car is so low I'm going to have to get a crane to lift me out of it!!!

    Smile Lines with White Gel

    I've adapted my own application of the white gel. Use two brushes. With the first brush apply the white gel in a 'general' smile line - don't worry about it being lopsided or even straight. Using the other brush that is wiped with sanitiser, slowly swipe under the smile line thus...

    My first set of nails ever

    Lovely work, I wish my first set looked that good ;) I like your photos - I think I'd be guaranteed a pay rise if I went on a work's night out in an outfit like the one you're wearing in your gallery photo :lol: Kathy - I use Bio Gel but don't use tips, I sculpt. It takes me 1½hrs to...

    Polish stock for new starter...

    Also, forgot to say, I don’t carry all my colours around with me (I’m mobile), I paint a colour wheel for clients to order from. They can hold the plastic over their own nail to judge the colour rather than look at it through the bottle.

    Polish stock for new starter...

    One pointer, if you’re looking for polishes to retail (or any products for that matter) stay clear of high–street names. There isn’t much of a profit in them, as your client will often know the RRP. If you purchase professional items you can mark them up to whatever price you deem...

    Where can I get a "Melon Baller" ? !!!

    :!: That's it - a curette! Thanks Geeg. (I just want one!)

    Where can I get a "Melon Baller" ? !!!

    I've searched everywhere for one. I don't know the technical name, but it is used during the prep process to remove cuticle and debris from around side walls. My pusher never seems to get right into that area and although I'm not having any problems with lifting I feel sure that it I'm not...

    Dragon nail art :-(

    I havent been on this board for months!!! Busy busy... I have a client who wants the Welsh Dragon painted onto her thumbnails for her wedding. I've practiced with various designs & brushes, but her nail beds are tiny and to get such a complex design to fit in that space is proving...

    New Mobile/Home Business

    Try not to fall into the preconception that because you are mobile you have to charge less than the salon would charge. If anything, you need to be charging more because of your travel expenses. The client should be willing to pay that bit extra for the convenience of having you come to them...

    gel

    Hello Mui, ;) I use Bio Gel and there's a tutorial on their website at: http://www.biosculpture.co.uk/ Whereabouts in Thailand do you live? I have been there many times on my travels through the Far East. It is a lovely country, and the people have always been so friendly - everybody I...

    Gift Bags

    I know that someone has already mentioned Moorplan, but I've just had their November sale flyer through and noticed that in addition to the small glossy rope-handled small bags, they also sell the small voile bags in white or gold from £2.39 each. Not sure if these are on their website, but...

    Mobile work questions

    I've been mobile for around 6 months. I always have a 10-15 min consultation with new clients over the telephone before I see them and during this time I can ascertain whether the client is genuine or if she has ulterior motives! I would not take a booking from a male client. If a...

    advice

    I love my Bio Gel. It doesn’t discolour, doesn’t lift and best of all I don’t have to use any glue or resin to stick plastic tips on as I sculpt my own – which my clients love. After an initial glitch with soaking off I’ve solved the problem by introducing more heat to the fingertips during...
