    Jamberry vs Minx?

    I've had a sample and I fell i love with them straight away. I'm also a bit of a classic car geek and I put some on, I then worked on my engine and polished my car, went away for a week and they lasted me just over two weeks! Anything that can handle what I do with my hands and still look...

    Would you take a few moments to critique my new website??..

    Hi there, It does look really lovely. There are a couple of things though - in my opinion there is too much wasted space at the side. The only other thing really is I think the price list would be more readable as a table - one for each thing eg. a table for facial treatments, then another...

    Which Acrylic nails?

    All I can say is - you get what you pay for and I feel after having had experiences of cheap/er training and then having to go on to do the more "expensive" one because I didn't feel like I'd had enough training, false economy I think. I would recommend having a read of this thread - might...

    Geeg doing a DVD? All those in favour, say aye!

    All I can say is Geeg, feel free to hijack me and my nails anytime you like - if it means you have to fly me to Benissa then so be it (I would cope somehow). Secondly, a DVD would be fab - personally I think Nailclass is fantastic and really do keep it handy at all times (it is the Nail Bible -...

    Advise needed, very disheartened newbie.

    Totally agree - I just wish I'd known that before I started training with anyone else! - hopefully though people looking on here will see that before they start. If my mistakes can prevent even 1 person from making the same ones then it was worth it... x

    Self employed or salon employed?

    Great, I recently moved to a house where I have room for something like that. Do you find it works well? Can I be cheeky and ask roughly how much you spent setting it up? Had a look at your website - it looks really nice. x

    Please Help!!

    Hi Jenny, I would recommend taking a look at your preparation, make sure you are following the steps completely - this tends to be the main cause of lifting. Don't skip anything - this is one of the most important parts of your service and is what takes the longest when done properly. Hope...

    Advise needed, very disheartened newbie.

    I decided I hadn't learnt enough to do a conversion so went right from the foundation course - it was so worth it and I'm so glad I did! If you can afford to then I would really recommend it - if you can't then I would recommend saving up ;) - it is so worth it... as you can see I went on from...

    Totally agree - if you have that kind of money then do something worthwhile with it!

    Advise needed, very disheartened newbie.

    That's me too - I tried to do it cheaply (started with a home study one - bad, bad move, went on to a cheap 2 day one, then to a cheap conversion (I am deliberately not mentioning any names here as I feel that would be unfair) and finally I realised if I wanted to be any good I would have to...

    Self employed or salon employed?

    Yes, it's the donkey work part that really bugs me, the unpacking and packing and travelling and unpacking then packing and so it goes on.... Have been in estate agency and having had what was almost a pretty nasty experience I totally get you on the not knowing what's on the other side of a...
