    Minx Road Testing - Want to post your results?

    Love the look but haven't tried them myself yet as I'm on maternity leave & I've been banned from buying more nail stuff till I'm ready to go back to work lol. Maybe I could put it on my Christmas list so I'm not buying it myself. Can't wait to try it out. Any geeks need a guinea pig?? :lol:

    Crisps banned in hospitals!

    Well on one hand it is good to reduce temptation but it is good to have a choice. I think that replacing junk food with healthier snacks is a great idea, as long as there is still a variety. As someone else said, sometimes fruit doesn't hit the spot. Regarding hospital food, I stayed in...

    Male face shaving rash, help

    I'd love to book my fella in for a professioanl shave. He refuses to shave more than once a week because he gets a shaving rash so most of the time he looks like a hairy monster! :lol: Jonathan, I know you aren't allowed to advertise but where in Liverpool??

    Something Different

    They are lovely, I'd definitely wear those. I think that what Cathie meant by 'flared' is that they go out a little towards the edge rather than being straight along the free edge. Other than that, they are great, especially as you haven't been qualified very long. Well done! :)

    Pedicures on pregnant women

    Yes the massage is mainly to do with pressure points. There are spots on the heel and ankle that can stimulate the uterus and, in theory, cause contractions. Right now, I wish this worked for me! I am 10 days overdue so anyone wanting to test out the theory can try on me lol It is fine to do a...

    Geeky bookclub?

    I'd love to join too. I am a big reader and always have a stack of books to read. I'm a big fan of the classics and sci-fi/fantasy, especially comic fantasy. My absolute favourite author is Terry Pratchett (Discworld) and my favourite book of all time is Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil...

    Outfits.....the event!!

    Oh, another jealous one here! Currently 9 months pregnant (3 days overdue:rolleyes:) so not going anywhere for a while and the only clothes that fit me at the moment look like tents! I love Monsoon clothes, I've had a few lovely dresses from there. My fella would never buy me a dress and if...

    Tan that lasts 4-6 weeks??

    Maybe she is using a DHA-based moisturiser? She might be applying more DHA on top of her spray tan without realising it and topping it up. I have had clients who top up their own tans after a week or so with a 'fake tan' in a bottle. They just see it as topping up, not reapplying. 4-6 weeks...

    Embarrassing Waxing question

    A hairy bum is totally normal so she shouldn't worry about it. She just needs to be a little less shy when having her waxing done and ask her therapist to do it. The worst her therapist can say is no if she's not trained or not comfortable to wax that area. In that case, she can ask around for...

    Have a laugh on me!

    haha, I laughed so hard at this I thought I might go into labour! Good on your mum for still enjoying herself but maybe you should introduce her to google so she can find things without having to ask you in future! I've listened to my parents discuss 'adult' videos with their friends, my mum...

    Tips and forms

    I never use tips these days unless I need to. I always have them handy but it is very rare that I use them. Its generally more for new clients who request tips. All my regulars have their nails sculpted/overlayed.

    Qualifications in Canada

    I think the company he is looking at is based in Edmonton. Don't really know much about the area, had a quick look on the net but not quite the same as getting a real insider's view!

    Mixing acrylic Glitters with CND products

    You can mix glitter with Creative powders, just make sure you use glitter that is designed to be used on nails so the colour doesn't bleed and watch how much you mix as adding anything to your powder can weaken it, you only need a little. The Nail Graphix glitters are good. Just have a play...

    Card Machine...Yes or No ?

    I have a card machine and it really made a difference to my takings! I've had it almost since day 1 so can't remember what I was taking before but I know my takings shot up. There are so many people who are willing to spend more if they use their credit card as it doesn't seem like 'real money'...

    Qualifications in Canada

    OMG that's terrible. What a horrid thing to happen to you and what a horrid company to do that. That's kinda what I'm worried about, that if we moved it would cost us a fortune and we'd be stuck! To be honest, we would only move for my partner's job and I know that his job would be secure...

    Qualifications in Canada

    I am currently trained in nails and beauty but on maternity leave(ish!) and my partner has recently been thinking about applying for new jobs, possibly abroad. It might be something that we would consider in about 9 months, when I would be going back to work BUT I have no idea how I would stand...

    Married or not ?

    I am not married but I know my partner was going to propose to me after our holiday at Christmas/New Year. As we found out that we were expecting a baby pretty much as soon as we got back, it didn't happen! He has since said that it isn't going to happen until the baby is here but by then we...

    How many forums are you a member of? ( it isn't a poll lol )

    I am currently a member on 2 forums, this one and a baby one. The baby one is the reason I have been lurking rather than posting on here recently! I have joined other forums before for particular reasons and only been on them for a short time. Salon Geek is the forum I've been a member of for...
