    Animals can be really individual!!! We got a kitten Lucky first, had her a couple of years, so friendly and loved to be petted and held etc!! Then we got a puppy Sheeba - she was tiny when we got her and Lucky wasnt too impressed with the new addition but she put up with her. They just left...

    Where do I begin?

    I did Foundation Gel Course with CND in March, passed exam in April. I absolutely loved the training with CND. They are brilliant, the trainer was so helpful, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend CND, I'm so happy I did my training with them. Although I've never used any...

    Sorry I'm not much help so, if you are following the system correctly and using the correct lamp. I had a problem recently with my lamp when I was doing my own french but it was because two of the bulbs were not working. Now I always make sure they all come on. Hopefully another geek will be...

    Gellish or Shellac

    Shellac really lasts! I did Tutti Frutti on clients hands and feet on Thursday 28th April. She was going abroad on holidays so luckily for me I had read on Salon Geek about suncreams etc and was able to inform her of same and tell her to ensure she wipes it off her nails. I have spoken to her...

    Seriously addicted to this site!!

    I too am completely addicted!! I came across the site in January when researching where to go for a nail course. I learnt so much on here from trawling through all the comments, and putting words into the search option!! I dont have an app on my phone for Salon Geek but I do have a shortcut...

    Plastic surgery? Did you get the results you hoped for?

    I had my nose done in January of this year. I've wanted it done for as long as I can remember. I was really self conscious of it - didn't like people looking at me from the side. I hated whenever a photo was taken of me and it caught me from the side profile - as my nose had a very large bump...

    How long for a full set?

    I'm very new to nails, and the very first set of practice gel with extension tips I did took me 3 hours to do, I got my time down as I practiced and got a set finished in 2 hours and 10 mins. I've only done 10 sets of gel with extension tips including my exam set. I'm mobile too, but I timed...

    Just done nails with gelac

    I'm only new to nails and did a French Shellac (I know you used Gelac) today. It took me 50 mins: from the start with filing the free edge, cuticle work etc and each coat, to finish with solar oil. Obviously I'd like to get my time down and am trying but I find some people's nails need more...
