I think I agree and disagree at the same time. :twisted: Call me complicated... I agree that we cannot ask or force chemists, Boots and others to NOT sell DIY nail products. That is impossible. But I disagree that the end consumer usually knows the score. Most of them haven't got the...

... glad I could help!!

Hi girls!! I use a saddle stool! Bought it last year. It is very good and confortable..... once you have read the instructions and set it up properly!! :rofl: The rule of thumb is that if you are in any pain, then you are not sitting properly! :shock: But once you get used to it, it is...

Well, she gave up in the end!! She is now going to a Bio Sculpture tech because her friend convinced her that her nails never ever had that problem.... well, of course she hasn't!! She gets a new set every 4 weeks!! :shock: She has tips and gel applied, then 1 infill, then soak off, cut, tips...

Hi Fiona, I would say that if you wanted to "warn" them and tell them what to look for when searching for a nail tech, you should do it when you talk to them during the first phone call, when they are making that first enquiry. Anytime later and it would sound a little pushy, whiney and...

.....and we all encounter different things, that's what makes it interesting!! :D She is not the kind to put polish on, she is more the "I don't take care of myself" type of girl. I did apply 2 coats of Bond last week, and the nails today didn't look like the resin had gone from the top! That...

Ok guys, I have had a strange thing happen with my f/g. Had a bride-to-be come in for a set of nails last week. As she didn't want to keep them, did tips (badly bitten nails) with f/g overlay. Used Fabric#. The set turned out really beautiful and CLEAR. She was happy, so was I. 8) I had...

... but this is a genuine question, ok? :D In view of the changes that are to come next year or thereabouts... Is the Creative training NVQ / VTCT / "whatever will be required" compatible? I am not talking about standards here, I am talking about potential "legal" requirements that might...

.... but YOU KNOW you will sell well!!! ;) ;) :D

..... at £100 a stand, that's bit steep if you don't get any business or very little from it!! As Lisa said, something to thing about VERY carefully.... :?

Ok Ok... dear oh dear.... :? Lets see... we had 25 people staying when we got married... in the house, tents in the garden and makeshift beds in the garage... OMG.... :shock: Do I really want to do that again????? :shock: :shock: IF it is at Ascot, THEN we will see!! :D But then...

Sorry Mandi, had to point that one out as I am still :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:.... And with all the dancing that went on, their shoes must have been soleless by the end of the night anyway!!!... ;) ;) Anyway Scott, how about Ascot Race course??? :D Great venue, loads of space, various rooms to...

I don't use drills.... call me carefull... :P Now, why do your clients want them off at one point?? Confused....:? Is that because the don't like them, because they want a new set for what reason, because it was temporary...?? Why??? I find that I don't really have to file sets off to...

Well, it is one of the particularity of gels to have to be filed off..... :? As they are not porous, the acetone or other chemicals do not penetrate the gels to break them down. Hence you file them off. But gels are softer and easier to file than L&P, so filing them should not be such an issue...

What I have tried was to mix some glitter with clear gel and "hand paint" that mix under the gel top coat, that works fine (but it makes the gel rock hard!!). I have also tried the same method with some pigments and have had various results, so I am still experimenting! Good results with foils...

Hi Christie, What a superb blue!!!! I love blue!! :D Fantastic nails!!:thumbsup: I know your problem with sculpting your right hand!!! :rofl:

Debs, it usually is a mailto: email address. The one you have on the web site I picked up from your profile works fine. Try to copy the code from that one.

At least you were recognised for yourself!! Hubby was recognised before I was!! :D :D Good job I brought him along!!! :rofl:

It was a good do!! My ears are still ringing!! But then again, that's what you get when you sit just in front of the speakers!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: As you said Mr Geek, bad drive home tho... a silly b----r had decided to close the M25 for the weekend nights!! What an idea.... :evil: So...

Hi there, When I have to file the gel off (not very often tho :shock: ), I always leave some on to protect the natural nail which had been used to have the extension on. That protective layer is very thin and will usually peel off or wear off on its own. I use about 3 or 4 up&down with a...
