Hi I've just completed my basic training in acrylic and have done a conversion in gel, i love the gel and i'm just getting my kit together, i've been using The edge acrylic and have been getting on well with it so decided to buy a trial pack of gels from the edge and see how i like it! It...

Thanx! So just a quick buff with a fine file?

Hi, I'm currently doing my training, so far i've done manicure and L+P! I've been practicing like mad and want to try something different, like coloured tips, i like the idea of black tips and i know that they say they require no blending, but i've been advised that you should still blend...

I'm due to start my training in March and can't wait! if mine are half as good as yours i would be very pleased with myself, i love the little flower on the main pic! well done!!

Wow!

thanks ladies, thats very useful! :-)

Hi, I know this topic was brought up recently with regard to a client having enhancements removed because she was pregnant, but you may know that i have been looking into training as a tech recently, i mentioned to a college that i'm 4 months pregnant and if that would be ok, not because of...

Thanks everyone! And thanks Hazel, thats very helpful! have alot of thinking to do now! lol I was questioning the NVQ myself because like i said, i have done nvq level 3 in another subject and that was a 2 year course, we did have lectures but was mainly the assessor coming to my workplace...

Thanks Sian, in that case i would need to do the foundation course first with creative!? I thought that too but i contacted a college that offered the funding and they accepted me! altho i don't want to do the training there, it was NABS, i'd rather do it at The Pinks academy!#But now i don't...

Ok i'm getting confused again! lol how can you be assessed on something which you have never done before? surely they are training you in order to assess you!?! So you would come out with the knowledge of application health and safety etc, then if you do a cnd conversion, you have an NVQ as...

With respect, i think this depends on the person, i've done an NVQ LEVEL3 in another subject, started off with 30 people in the class, for a 2 year course, 9 people took the exam at the end, 2 passed, me being one of them, the others took retests and passed but they got so much help because the...

Interesting views, thanks! xx

Thank you, thats what i thought! alot of salons ask for it as a minimum from what i have seen, not planning to work for a salon but you never know it might be a good way to get experience and more confidence before going mobile/own business! xx

Hi again! :confused: quick question :green: i've been offered funding to complete an NVQ in nail services, but as everyone is raving about creative, i'm not sure what to do, i've come to the conclusion that as far as short courses go creative rule all lol but as NVQ is nationally recognised...

Lol thats what my husband said to me, why didn't you do this when you left school, then you be all set!! if only we knew!

Fair enough lol i love your honesty :-) Reason i ask is when i had acrylics (had to have them removed because of my job!) i then went back for a manicure for a wedding and i had to see a different lady, in a different area of the salon, so just wondered if people specialise in one thing and...

:green: hello Do you work as a nail tech who concentrates on enhancements only or do you all offer manicure treatments too? thanks

yes i think i have to agree! thanks xx

Hi, sorry me again, gatecrashing your pages! :confused: Had set my sights on doing the star nails course but after a lot of advice from you lovely ladies and talks of them going bust decided against it obviously! Have been talking to a couple of you and have advised me on some courses, one of...

Hi, welcome! Can i ask which course you are doing? is it at college or private trainer? it sounds similar to one i am looking at doing! still undecided and getting very stress about which one to do! xxx
