Hi, I dove straight in and went for acrylic L&P course its only then when I started getting my Client base that they were asking for other treatments. I too didnt want to just offer it so I went and did my mani/pedi course and for me, it was a great choise after acrylics. I'm now learning...

Thank you! I tried to do some research but couldnt find anything specific. I'll have another go again to find some items on SG. Thanks again :)

Ive tried searching for topics regarding this but can't find any specifics. I have a regular Client who has Acrylic nails which I do approx every three weeks. She reports a lot of lifting and 'falling off'. I'm very clinical when it comes to prep, I take my time and do everything I should...

Is there no one that can offer some advice? :sad:

I remember reading your story last year Georgeous-Tips! These ladies will give you all the best advice Gee I for one have learned a lot from them. Ive doubted my work in the past due to behaviour of Client's like this but I refuse to let it get to me now ::) I even get my aftercare advice...

Take pics for next time :) I'd def be interested to see as I'm looking to do Sculpts next. Well done :) x

I do sometimes, and Client's aren't always talkative which can be a little .. awkward lol I'm not great at the small talk but I really try .. you're not alone sweet x

Ive had a good search for about an hour but couldnt find what I was after. Apologies though if this is a repeat. Ive been doing my own mobile business in Acrylics for 6 months now after becoming qualified and had some questions through my experience. 1 - I provide an indpeth leaflet on...

Sorry but I couldn't help but laugh. I'm exactly the same. Now I know my way around acrylics when I go myself I'm a nightmare! I'll point things out, and constantly look at my nails after each one is done. A pain in the butt I know .. as for after care .. it's more 'do as I say not as I do' urgh...

This is great thanks guys! I'll give it a go x

hi guys, I was chattin to my friend in Norwich who recently has a set a acrylics done but she said her nail tech put a layer of gel over the acrylic when she was done to help strengthen the acrylic. now, I've never heard of this before being new and I couldn't find any threads on SG about it ...

Hey Sam. I did my acrylic course with EN and the dream products are wonderful. I was recommended another brand and moved away from Dream and I wish I hadnt for all the problems it gave me. I prefer Dream. I know how it works and I know how to work it. My client's can get a good 2 weeks with no...

Congratulations! :) x

Thanks everyone for your encouraging words. I have decided to draw up a disclaimer in addition to my client record cards and even have a small one as a back up about some people not being able to take these kinds of products. When this girl asked when I was free I told her but havent heard...

I was 'recommended' a system that turned out to be a pretty crap one .. Ive learnt a valuable newbie lesson .. if it aint broke dont fix it! lol

Hi Geeks, I was after a bit of advice if possible because I'm unsure if my over stressing of the situation is making a mountain out of nothing. Ive been doing acrylics tip and overlay for the past 6 months. I love what I do and the finished product always looks great in my eyes. On Clients as...

I'm new to the industry and couldnt agree more with Geeg! I HIGHLY intend on doing things the right way. Not offering what I cannot do and offering FULL systems! You do not gain a good reputaion, loyal clientele by not doing it the way mentioned in Geeg's orginal post. I only hope that one day...

I know what you mean. I just WASNT comfortable with the brush I was using however, hindsight is always a good thing, and Geeg is right .. becoming comfortable with your brush comes with practice. I blamed my tools for the discomft (and tantrums) and I bought about 5 in total, spent a fortune...

I did my first yesterday . I redone 3 nails because I wasnt happy with them when my Client thought they were fine so I know what you mean about wanting to perfect what you're doing. Just relax in to it and just breathe .. that will control the shaking, and steady your fingers on opposite...

haha its literally engrained in my carpet DreamNails !! lol Thanks, I'll take a look at some CND products. I wanted to apply to S2 but I dont know if I can apply with an EN qualification .. I dont think they recognise it =/ Shiela I have ur PM so I'll replyyyyy :) xx
