I did mention to her about a month to let me tint them but she really didn't want to. Today doing her make up I penciled her brows in according to...

    Latex gloves affecting Gelish?

    Hi I've got a regular nail client who has had Gelish on every month for a year and 9 months. It always lasted her 2.5 / 3 weeks with occasional chip here and there but she knew why.

    How much time shall I allow for bridal make up

    Hi. I have my first bridal booking coming up soon (the trail being this Friday) and I'm not how much time to allow for the big day. I thought one hour per person just to be on the safe side? When originally booked there was 6 people in total so I said I would need help from a girl I trained...

    Loyalty cards - what offer do you use?

    Hi I have been wanting to get some loyalty cards made as things seem to have gone a little quiet over the past few months. I'm just not sure what offer to use. Don't want to do myself out of too much money but again want it to seem a good deal for the client. Can anyone share what loyalty...

    Is it a messy job?

    Hi I really want to add spray tans to my treatment list but as I'm mobile, I just wanted to ask how people find it being mobile. I know lots of people do it mobile but is it a pain setting up the tent and machine just for one spray tan? Do you clean it there and then or wait until you get...

    Hi ya I've been qualified now for a year and my mobile business has been amazing from the very first day!! I really want to train in spray tans now. As most people have suggested, I think it's probably best to get samples and decide which I like myself. BUT just wanting to know, obviously in...

    Top lip hair removal.

    Hi Geeks. I've been waxing my top lip from the age of 15 and now at the age of 26 it's not much better. Other the last year or so I've had to do it even more frequent and it's really getting annoying and also it's upsetting. I'm so paranoid people will notice it inbetween my waxing sessions...

    Hi Not sure where to post this but just wondered if anyone has / does experience this. I've been mobile for a year now but until february was only part time. About 5 weeks ago I woke up with a 'dead left arm' as such and it later started on my right arm too. It eases off some days and other...

    Summer uniform

    Just wondering if any of you change to a 'summer uniform' when it gets hotter? I'm mobile and believe uniform is essential, looks smart and put me in the job mode as such. But I get so hot, especially as every clients house is different temp. Can sometimes feel my face sweating. So...

    Paraffin after my minx

    This may be a really stupid question but I'm just wondering if I gave myself a little pedicure and did paraffin wax, would it ruin my minx? I've had my minx on 2 weeks but my heels are so dry lately that I'm desperate to do something with them. Wasn't sure if the heat from the paraffin would...

    Is Minx causing it?

    Hi My mum has been wearing Minx toes since about October and her toe nails have become abit of a mess. At Christmas I noticed that one of her toe nails had a split horizontally across it about half way up. Basically was kind of flapping a little. I cut it down as much as I could and hoped it...

I had lots of people asking for acrylic nails but there were no courses available on an evening near me. I searched all summer for a college course but nothing. In the end I was...
