hi anne....that is exactly what i thought i was buying! so thanks for that link...v, helpful. I do use well-less tips so I will give it a go sticking it on then trimming before applying the tips. thanks guys!

Hi, thanks for the reply...I do L&P (NSI)....do you think it would look any good placed on the tip?? Unfortunately, I had a slightly different thing in mind when I bought it and have never seen or heard of this.... Told you I was being thick, never thought of actually cutting the smile line into...

Hi, To save trying to explain the product - here's a link... At Your Finger Tips > NEW! Silk Nail Thread - Cerise and Black I wonder if some of you lovely geeks could explain how you would use it please? I know it says on the website just just apply where you want it and encase...I thought...

Thanks very much for your replies. I appreciate what you have all said, especially about it being quiet at the moment. The only thing is, I can't set the business up to be mobile around my current job, as I will get taxed 22% on everything I earn from the nail side and it just wouldn't be...

Hiya, Many of these questions may sound a bit daft, but I'm seriously considering setting up a mobile business....I qualified last september with the idea of doing mobile clients around my current part time job...however, it doesn't really work for one reason or another (won't bore you with...

The area I live in has a massive impact on this for me...quite simply, everyone here does tips and most don't even offer natural's (I think they do them, but do not promote them so every single person in my area who has had nails has automatically been given french tips :eek:)...and most are...

Everytime I try to do it with luke warm water, it sets straight away....I've started using cold water and found it easier...but...I haven't mastered it yet and am still practising...I also found that you have to change the water between each nail or remnants of each polish stay on the water like...

Yes, you are right about the higher rate of tax (I did say I could be wrong!)..I re-read HMRC website which I misunderstood...however, it does say that it depends on whether you use all of your tax allowance on your first job...if you do, you get taxed 22% on everything you earn in your second...

sorry to hijack this, but just wondered do you have to be CND trained to buy the mani products then? I know thats the case with L&P etc, but I have seen the almond spa products available to buy elsewhere...

Just be aware that if you are going to keep your part time job and register the business, you will have to pay 40% tax on everything you earn from the nails (I'm pretty sure its 40%, but sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!)..you will be taxed as normal from your 'first' job ie: your...

Hi all, Just wondered what you all think are the best tips to use when using glitter or crushed shells...I was thinking clear...but doesn't the clear show through the shells? Never done either before but am about to put in an order so I can start practising!! Thanks.

Awww thank you susie....I guess I just don't want to rip anyone off, with the client thinking that I should be giving them a 'professional' service that maybe isn't!! if you know what i mean?! lol... And your right, I don't really get lifting problems...only very occassionally and I always know...

Hi all, I posted a while back (thread: Nervous- what do you all think of these nails?) where I asked if you thought I was ready to take on clients. Whilst most of you said yes, you also said that the white was unbalanced as the tip was too far down the nail bed. Soooo...I've tried again...

Hmmm...if it were me, I would want Doctor's OK before treating...purely because the syndrome specifically affects the hands...do you usually do a massage with your manicures? Again, as the syndrome is circulatory, this could be an issue. I would rather be safe than sorry in these kinds of...

Oh gosh!! Thats not good! I was really looking forward to trying the NSI out tonight! :sad: Oh well, thanks for the reply geeg.

Hi all, This may be a daft question, but I am going to be switching from Supernail to NSI acrylic systems. Now, I know that you can't mix the L&P from the two different systems, so I was wondering what you do about your brush? I clean it in fresh monomer before and after each set - however...

Hi, Has anyone used these tips - if so, what do you think of them? I'm also thinking of trying the Pro Impression French Deep Smile if anyone has used those before too? Thanks! :)

Short time working can be a very tricky subject and if not handled correctly, it is a situation where employee's can claim that the employers actions amounted to dismissal (constructive or otherwise). There is also something called a guarantee payment of £20.40 per day for any 5 days in a 3...

Hi marion, thanks for your comments. At the moment, I am using Supernail pink powder as it is a full size pot that came in our kit. Why do you ask? I'm just wondering, as someone else on here mentioned that pink can sometimes look a bit 'grainy' over white tips?? I am planning to get some...

Yep, most people seem to love CND. I can't comment as don't use it, however, I will say that I did my course in acrylics at a private training establishment and it was brilliant. (In Derby so no use to you). Yes it would be great to convert onto CND at some point, but if you are looking for a...
