Hi there! Wonder if any of you can help me. I have been sitting all morning trying to find suppliers of nail tips on line and having no luck. If any of you know of any companys I could try I would be very grateful. Many thanks, Sharon xx.

Thanks for all your imput regarding using drills. Its interesting to hear all your views. I still think I will stick to my files. I never overfile the nail plate and I have never made someone bleed around the cuticle area. I know this is what causes damage to the natural nail so I just take...

Hi! There!! Need some advice from you lot out there. My first course was with Star Nails then I went on and did a conversion course. I am very happy with Creative products and I think the nails I do are not bad. What can I do next? What do they teach at master courses? and is airbrushing...

Dear Adele, If you leave your polish off for a while (say 1 week) do they stay yellow? I don't want to worry you and I might be completely wrong here! ( I am sure some of the girls will put me right if I am). I have seen yellowing nails before and It turned out to be a nail infection which...

Dear Groovy, I have been following your past problem and I must say I found it really entertaining, I am glad she has not made you lose your sense of humour. Sounds to me like you handled yourself very professionaly. I am sure you are feeling very proud of yourself. I think most of us...

I have being doing this job for years, and have tried many different types of pedicure equipment. I stick to being seated lower than my client with her foot on a towel on my legs, but each to there own. I find that if I am lower than the client I dont get such a sore back. Hope this helps...

I wish my first set looked like that! Mine looked like door wedges. I am sorry but I can not see the nails clearly but they look pretty good from here. Keep going girl your doing fine. Sharon x

You Know what they say. There is always something better round the corner. As for the Tanning shop, they will miss you more than you will miss them. I wish you both all the luck for your future. I am sure you will be just fine. Love Sharon XX

Never thought about nail brite. How stupid am I. I have bottles of the stuff. I stupidly thought this product was for natural nails and never crossed my mind to use it on enhancements. Thanks Sharon XX

Thanks Ladies, You have helped me make my mind up regarding drills, and I think I will stick with my files. Love Sharon XX Ps. Fit like Fiona, Do you still have the Aberdonian twang?

Dear Hazel, I am not 100% sure but I think it is safe enough, providing you are carefull and do not over file the natural nail and do not cause any sort of bleeding to the skin around nail. Hope this helps. Sharon X

I have done training with 2 companys and was told by both never to use electric drills. Can some of you girls and boys give me your opinion on using them please. I know a lot of tecs use them. Thanks Sharon.

Can anyone give me some tips on cleaning the underside of nail extensions. I find this is one of the most common questions I get asked by clients. Thanks Sharon X

Hi Mandy, The only advice I can give you is to change products. I had exactly the same problems as you. I was using the same product as you are and had problems no matter what I did. I was at the giving up stage. I did a creative conversion course and my nails changed over night. I know we...

I was told on my course that Creative Products can be used over any product. I have done it many times with no problems. So go on girl and get creating. Sharon.

I heard somewhere that if you cut a V shape into the well of a tip the tip will give a good fit to a flat nail. Is this right? I have never tried it.

I did my first course with Star Nails learning acrylic. I then went on to do a conversion course with Creative. Wow what a product! & what a difference!. The teacher was great, in that one day she showed me how to sculpt. Okay it did take a bit of practice on my poor friends (first set took me...

I agree Diedre Barlows are the worst I have seen in a long time. They are Huge !!!. You would think someone would tell her. Then we have got poor (always skint) Janice Batersby, who has always got perfect nail enhancements, well I think they are perfect, I have not looked that close. I think...

Dear All, Well I did a new set of nails on myself this morning using tips. I did what you all said and cut the well area and it was brill. Nails took a bit longer to do but i am out of practice doing tips. Thank you all again. love Sharon.

Thanks for advice. I shall try cutting the well area, this sounds like a good idea. Pity I did not think of that 5 years ago when I started doing nails. What do you like best Tips or sculptured? just out of interest. Sharon x
