Hi All, I have been in the nail industry for 10 years and I'm unsure, and wonder if someone can give me some advise. My daughter works at a Salon/Nail Bar and will be shortly carrying our acrylic nail enhancements. The salon use NSI attraction acrylic products, as do myself and my...

The lovely man in the van has delivered my order at lunchtime today, so I'm a happy bunny. The number that I was trying to contact them on is the number on their advert which is on the backpage of the January edicition of scratch magazine. It would be helpful if they incorporated a system...

Hiya, I placed an order with Nail Harmony on their website on the 28th December 2013. I understand that they were closed until the 2nd January. However, I have not yet received my order, although the payment shows on my bank statement as being paid on the 28th December 2013.:cry: I have...

I think there are many of these people out there, just trying to make a quick load of money, and don't care how they go about getting it, or the stress they cause. My advise to anyone looking do do a course with a Training Acadamy that is not an established name with a good reputation like...

Hiya, Do you charge extra for removal when re-applying? I always tell clients that the UV gel polish is £XXXX per set and if they wish to continue wearing it then removal if free when re-applying. After all we all like to think we are getting something for free.:D This may stop her...

Thank you all for your replies. I have found some SS3 size on the internet. I have had a look on scattercrystals and will be ordering some in their lovely colours for christmas. Thank you all again x

Hello, I hope someone can help me. I have wedding nails to do in a couple of weeks and have been trying out ideas on the bride to be. She does have very tiny nails and although I bought the Swarski crystals from CND they are 1.6mm, and just look a little big for the look that we want to...

Hiya, I agree, you should watermark your work. This is theft and totally dishonest on her part. My thoughts are, why would this person need to steel your pictures? Why not take her own pictures of her own work? Perhaps it's because she's not as good and therefore feels the need to...

Thank you all for your comments. I guess I just expected the Vinylux to swipe off as easily as regular polish. I am loving the colours, the ease of application, the finished look and the quick drying time. My client was really pleased with the way her toes had lasted, and the only reason...

Thank you all for your comments. Hellishbellish, Yes my lady had been away on holiday to Turkey, so I guess she had been wearing sandals most of the time Chickafish, I use the plastic backed remover pads. I have just ordered some Nourish remover, so hopefully this will be better than the...

Hiya, Do you find that it takes and longer to remove with a normal nail polish remover to remove than a regular polish?

Hi Geeks I have been using Vinylux for a few weeks now and love it. However, I am finding it more difficult to remove from natural nails that a regular nail polish. I had a lady today who's toes I did 3 weeks ago, and it was a nightmare to remove. I used D.Solve on a lint free wipe and it...

Hiya, I couldn't live without my nail trainer, which I have had since first doing an Essential Nails course almost 11 years ago. Sometimes I just feel inspired to try a new design and then go and try the design on the nail trainer. It's an excellent piece of kit and well worth...

Hiya ProjectPretty, I really feel your frustration. It is my understanding (and maybe I could have this wrong) but as a student you would need to have been registered with the VTCT for Registration and Examination in respect of the NVQ qualification. It might be an idea to check with them...

laurakate & gemma1995 Well done to you both. I know my daughter will find it hard work, but if she is determined, then I'm sure she will succeed, just as you have both done Thank you to everyone who had replied. All your comments have helped a lot. x

Thank you so much Sanilula and Mum for your replies. Mum, the course is for the period of 15 months at the Local College, but I guess that equates to probably 12 months with the holiday breaks. I have been in the nail industry for 10 years and have run my own business for the past eight...

Hiya Sanilulu, Thank you for your quick reply. She had already done manicure, pedicure and acrylic enhancement courses, which I understand from the training academy that she attended were module courses and would go towards an NVQ2, (as well as a nail art course and a gel polish course)...

Hiya all I wonder if anyone can give me some advise please. Has anyone completed the NVQ2 in Beauty Therapy (covering beauty and nails) at college on a part time basis. If so can you confirm how much course work would need to be completed at home. i.e. 2 hours per week My daughter is...

Hiya, I have just been onto the Dashing Divas website to purchase some more supplies, and there is only 3 bottles of polish in their shop. I always purchased them from sweet squared until they stopped supplying them. Does anyone know what has happened, is the company no longer trading, and...
