    Should I be worried?

    My best friends, younger sister has started a nail tech course at our local college where we trained a few years back. Even though she only started the course a few months ago, she seems to be good at acrylics. I asked her to do a set for me and they weren't bad. She's getting a lot of...

    Give up or stick it out?

    For the past month or so, I've thought about packing up nails for good. I feel like I've lost my passion I once had for it and I don't know why. Recently I've been offered more hours in my day job which I took because I can't really rely on the extra nail income, plus need the extra money as I...

    S2 nail art brushes

    Does anyone else have these brushes? I got mine today from Sweet Squared and tried to re-create some Balenciaga SS14 Lookbook nails but couldn't seem to get the Striper brush to stripe thin, clean lines (black & white nail). Am I doing something wrong? I used CND Shellac.. Shakira x

    Nail Art like this

    Hello Geeks.. I'm really inspired by nail art done by Wah Nails & The Illustrated Nail I've been practising a few designs with Shellac but just can't get the detail right. Maybe it can't be done with Shellac as the pictures I've posted (not my work) have been done with normal polish and...

    Business cards and loyalty cards

    Do any of you nail geeks have your loyalty scheme/stamps on the back of your business cards or on separate cards? I'm thinking of having mine separate to my business cards, but just want other opinions really. Shakira x

    Custom colour using CND Additives

    Just wondering if anyone makes custom colours for their clients using the CND additives? If so, do you charge extra or would you class it as nail art? For example, with my service menu I have additional extras, one being nail art (using the additives eg. ombré) charging £1 per. nail. Not sure...
