Yes thats perfect I just needed to get my head round the order of things. I have only got solar oil in bottle not the spray could I brush that over the top coat instead? Annie

I'm getting quite confused (Again!) I have recently done my CND Foundation course and am still practising as much as possible but am also doing normal manicures on friends. When I was at college doing my VTCT Man/Ped course we were taught to do everything in order ie file nails, apply cuticle...

Hi yes I do have box and I have read all that but what I was wondering is it like a treatment where you apply every other day for a week and then remove and start again which is what I was doing with OPI . Annie xx

After using OPI Nail Envy on my own natural nails for over a year and having great results I have decided to give Toughen Up a try. There are no instructions on how often to use TU and I have just spent ages looking over previous threads on this subject and am still not sure. Should I apply one...

Hi Isobel yes I had thought of doing that possibly as a last resort, however a fellow geek who lives locally has taken pity on me and has offered her help x

Can't believe I've just posted a reply 3 times!!! Big mistake didn't realise it was on page 2!! Anyway thanks again for advice. Annie xx

Hi, thanks to you all for your replies its nice knowing that every one has been in my position and taken as long as me. Regarding practicing when I did my CND Foundation course there was an odd number of us so instead of pairing up we had to work in a 3 some which wasn't ideal and then when I...

Thanks for all of your replies I think I may take the plunge and go and have my nails done there are a few salons close by who use Creative. Good idea Tanya about putting files in order we were actually taught to put things in order on Manicure/Ped course at college, however we didn't use as...

Hi just wanted to say I have done my first set of enhancements today and it took me 4 1/2 hours. I have to say that although my friend was pleased with her nails I was disappointed with them. I did the tips ok and was pleased with the blending and de bulking. Shortly after that a friend of hers...

Hi Rebecca, I have been using OPI Nail Envy for about a year and I can honestly say that my nails have never ever been in such good condition, I recommend it to all my friends as it was recommended to me and although I love creative products I would be very reluctant to switch to anything else...

Hi, Thanks for those replies I knew when I was typing my question that it was abit of a cheek to expect a qualified nail tech to let me watch but I was thinking of the experience I would gain from it but I know how it must look. Anyway I take on board all of your suggestions thanks very much

Having finished my CND Foundation Course in Leeds I now desperately need to see more nail enhancements being done so I can watch techniques etc. I have found a link via this site for training videos/dvd's which I am thinking about buying but there are a few different ones, not sure which one I...

Thanks for that i'll try it and see how I get on

The friend who was my model on my CND Foundation wants product removing from her nails as I always knew she would, she was just helping me out and although she was really pleased with the result does not want to keep them on. Anyway I've bought designer nails nail tip remover and also a pack of...

Thanks for that I know everyone has been in my position at some time or another and it certainly helps to read many of the postings I might go so far as to say i'm addicted!!

Now you explain it like that I feel happier about doing it, I was afraid I may damage the nail plate. I do use the pushie gently and agree it is a great tool and easy to use. I wish that CND did a video of the foundation course though because I really enjoyed it but felt there was so much to...

:confused: Have just finished my foundation course at CND in Leeds and am not sure about using the cuticle remover and the precision pushie. During our prep we had to scrape over the nail plate towards the cuticle and in doing so what seemed like the surface of the nail came off (yuk) After...

Thanks Heather x
