I know, that's why they send me a pm I think! Seems to have done the trick thank goodness, and I am going to be SO much more careful from now on. Thanks for letting me know where I'm going wrong, as I'm still training I was expecting to replace my brush once or twice, but have really fallen in...

Thanks so much to all of you who offered advice, I have managed to fix my brush! So happy its unreal! Here's how I did it- washed it gently with baby shampoo twice, then let it dry on a clean towel. Then soaked it in acetone (following advice from a geek who pm'd me, thanks!) for about half an...

Yep, big chunks of product in the bristles, I don't want to attempt to pick it out as I know that's a big no no although soo tempted :p Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it, will give it all a go, like you say I have nothing to lose :) x

Thanks for your reply, I'm still training at the minute so thankfully not working on the public, otherwise I would be stuffed! Just practising on my nail trainer, so it's only me with access to the brush which is even more annoying! I'm so careful as well to clean it after every use, and I store...

Hi guys, I wonder if any of you can help me. I know there's lots of threads on contaminated brushes and cleaning them, and I have honestly sat here for hours reading them all before I post this! I have the CND ultra sculptor size 10 which I have only had for a couple of weeks. I'm still...

Sorry got a bit carried away :p will get on to them in the morning!

I'm still a student at the minute so unfortunately this is not applicable to me yet, but as someone who is serious about wanting a career in this industry (not just wanting a quick buck!) I think this is a brilliant idea! Seems very similar to the michelin star concept for chefs/restaurants. One...

Hiya, Have a search on here for courses or something, you'll get loads up, there's always people talking about their preferences and which courses are good! I'm sure people will give you their opinions in this thread as well, but just as some extra info try doing a search. I'm studying at the...

Thanks so much for all your help, everyone here is so nice :) Becki that's really interesting, maybe I will try that. Do you have a mani/pedi course as well? I don't at the minute, so think that might hold me back with the Shellac? Did you just phone up Creative Manchester and get a...

Hi, I know there's been a lot of posts about conversion courses before, but I'm looking for some personal advice really. I'm currently training with EN (I know a lot of people don't agree with distance learning, but I just couldn't take the time off work to do a full course!) and I'm actually...

Thanks, I'm going to order the Polish Pro, and at the minute I'm just using a top coat on top of acrylics but thinking of using Glaze n Go and will be much more financially effective if I can use the 36 watt Polish Pro lamp for the Glaze n Go, will bear the timing in mind!

Sorry to hijack this thread, can you cure Glaze and Go with the same UV lamp used for Polish Pro?

I think veganbeauty.co.uk is good, just make sure your advertising is good enough so that people know its .co.uk not .com, otherwise they might end up at the wrong website and give up/get confused! Good luck, Nikki x

PS forgot to say, if you're advertising for models at a cheaper price, make sure you are clear that it's only a price for whilst you're training. The models may well turn into clients for your future business, but make sure they don't only expect to pay that price once you're established! It's...

That's the best thing to do yeah. Did you say you were training with EZ Flow? I don't know anything about them, but I'm sure they do a mani/pedi course which is certainly worth having under you belt, as you'll possibly want to expand in the future. I'm pretty sure the acrylics insurance won't...

Hi, I'm training at the moment, starting off with acrylics, then going to do a mani/pedi course and a conversion with NSI and I'm enjoying practising with their products at the minute. Not sure how much advise I can give you about starting up, but I'm planning to start up as a mobile nail tech...

I found your post very interesting, I used to live in Kingston and regularly had my nails done just outside Kingston (Hampton Wick) by a lovely woman (Hoa Nails it was called) who was either chinese/vietnamese (sorry I don't know which!). She made a great effort to talk to customers and make...

Ok just realised there's a picture on the website of the brush, d'oh! Still interested if anyone's tried it though, and if it's any good?

Hi, Am looking to get some Stripe Rite from NSI to practise some nail art, however I can't see on the website what the applicator is like. Has anyone tried this, and is it any good? I can't stand applicators for nail art that are like pens, I need to use one that's got a small brush to apply...

Thanks so much for all your help. I have a feeling I'll be having business link on speed dial as my start up date gets closer!
