I've always used the Barry M foil effects gold and silver but they don't seem to make them anymore. Can anyone recommend good replacements please? Thanks in advance.

Hi peeps, I haven't posted anything on here for a loooong time but I need some help! I've been doing my step mum's nails for a while now, started out with just gelish then added IBX as well. Her nails are not particularly strong but have always been in good condition (compared to a lot I've...

Just wondered if anyone else is in the middle of an easter weekend project? I seem to have a habit of starting one every year! I think it's because the kids are ususally at their Dads so it's a chance to get things done. Easter 2011 was spent building a partition wall in the main bedroom to...

Hi all, I work from home and only have a very small room. I currently do nails and spray tanning. My nail table is on hinges and drops down giving just enough space to carry out a spray tan. I really want to do more courses and offer more treatments but I don't have enough space for a beauty...

Hi everyone, Most of you probably don't know me as I tend to read a lot more than I post, but just wondered if anyone would be interested in attending a tax workshop / seminar in the Cambridge area? I started my business in 2010 with the (invaluable) help of the Princes Trust. At the time...

Having recently decided to take the plunge, I've done some research and can't decide between the YN99 and the MT20. Then again, there may be an even better one out there that I'm yet to discover. So, opinions please. This is a big decision and a lot of money, I really want to get it right first...

Hi all, As the title says, I'm trying to find make up that actually lasts! Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi, I just received the following text from a client: Hi Kirsty 3 of my nails have chipped only 5 days after having them done - what do you think? I'm not sure what to reply. She has been a regular shellac client for a few months and doesn't usually have problems. I don't really want to...

I've finally managed to get with the times, got myself a shiny new HTC wildfire S :) I've looked a list of apps, but which ones should I download?? Other than SG obviously (It's downloading as I type :green:) So, what are you favourite apps that you would recommend? Thanks x

Hi, I've tried searching for my answer but can't find anything. I want to do a waxing course (and then some others) but will the cost be classed as a business expense or not? Thank you!

Hello to all the young nails geeks :) Has anyone found a way to mix up a nice natural looking cover powder? I tried mixing cover pink with frosted pink which looked great but didn't cover well enough :rolleyes: Thanks!

Hi everyone, I currently work part time mobile doing l&p and spray tans. I really want to expand into the whole beauty side of things, so I looked into part time courses at my local colleges but there is nothing suitable. Now I'm thinking it may be best to go and learn each thing separately...

Hi, Is there a way to use mani-q clear with normal polish without mixing the 2 together? Can I sandwich the polish in between layers of mani-q, or does that not work? I've tried searching for this but can't find the answer! Thanks.

Just wondered if any geeks have children with ADHD? Or know any? I suspect my youngest may have it. Kirsty x

Hi all, I currently use shellac and love it, but my nails are really weak and still break. Do any of the other gel polishes add more strength? Thanks, Kirsty x

Hi, Do any of you use extra lighting when doing spray tans? I'm finding that with clients standing inside a brown tent that can't be positioned under the ceiling light (it's too tall) I really have trouble trying to see if I've done a nice even tan! I'm mobile and am thinking of buying a...

Hi everyone! I did a set of sculpted l&p nails 2 weeks ago. Went back today to rebalance, only to find all 10 nails gone! I asked what happened, she said she didn't bash / pick any of them. She had kept 3 of the nails to show me sure enough, no evidence of them having been picked / pulled off...

I've had quite a few enquiries about spray tans which is great, until they ask what brand I use!! I say 'OMG it's a new brand so you may not have heard of it but it's great!'.......That's it, conversation over, no reply?!!! I really don't want to pay out a fortune to switch products but I...
