    Fabric

    Hiya ..... do you have the trial kit? If so, there does appear to be some problems with the dispensing of Boost, ie. the bottle doesn't give very much! Therefore you are better off buying the professional sized one in the future. Sorry not much help with any of the other problems though:o...

    Hiya ...... I use water in a spray with a couple of squirts of Citrus Soak (CND). I guess you could use a couple of squirts of any liquid soak. Hth Adele

    Hard times

    Crikey ladies......it sounds like I'm a bit of a lucky one! This time last year, boy was it slow (pretty much all year actually!). However, now into my 2nd year and business has really picked up. No lows and just extra highs. I'm so relieved that I've seen the hard times through (although...

    moving house wowes

    I too can empathise......not because we have builders in, but because my husband is one!!........Grrreat I hear you cry...........Nooooo I loudly sigh!!! This just means that he does it all himself, which of course halves the cost, but trebles the time as he can only do it at weekends...

    OPI Nail Envy

    I would also like to say how much success I've had with Toughen Up, both on myself and with clients. Because I've had success, I feel I can recommend it whole heartedly to my clients without that feeling of doubt. Prior to using Toughen Up and Solar Oil, my nails have looked pitiful unless I...

    PIinkies?? is that what they are called

    yes we're still waiting..........plus I also posted a thread asking for either sample sizes or smaller sized tubes of AHA Cuticle Eraser/Solar Balm. That way it would be much easier to get potential retail clients interested in such brilliant products. Unfortunately, not everyone is willing...

    Black Nail......OMG

    buying uniforms.......hmmmm!

    A cautionary tale....... I ordered a pair of black bootleg trousers from a very well known mail order uniform company in a size 12. These were not cheap and I know alot of techs wear their clothes. Now I already have a pair of 3/4 trousers and top in 12 (white), therefore I felt quite happy...
