    Dashing Diva-how's it going?

    Hi. I bought the Dashing Diva French Wrap package and tried them for the first time on Sunday on myself and 2 others. Took a bit of time to do but an excellent smile line and great finish. I did Shellac on top. So far lasting really well, which I would expect with Shellac, as we're only 3-4 days in.

    New career

    Hi. I did my first few sets on my family to get my confidence and didn't charge, so when I had real clients I went straight to charging full price. That way I had no problems in trying to increase my prices and people see you as professional and not doing a cheap or substandard service. I also...

    Pro Beauty 2013

    Just got home. Picked up the new spring colours and additives as well as a few other offers that we're too good to miss. Had to queue for just over an hour from about 11.45 so not too bad I thought. Had a quick chat with Sam(uel) and Sam(antha) - great to see them there. Definitely worth the...

    CND Conversion to Brisa Lite?

    Hi. If you just want to use Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel you only need a manicure certificate so you could start with that immediately. You could then think about Brisa Lite Sculpting Gel at a later point, for which you would need training/conversion.

    All your technical questions about Brisa Lite removable gel answered here

    What's the best way of cleaning your gel brush after using Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel? I cleaned with Dsperse which seemed to work fine but I'm not sure if this was the right thing to do.

    Brisa Lite?

    My Scratch magazine was delivered this morning and there's a double page spread about Brisa Lite on pages 74-75. The prices of the 2 kits are amazing - too good to be missed. I'll be trying to order as soon as it's on the S2 website. I hope they have plenty in stock because they're gonna fly off...

    Mobile kit carry case - public transport

    Hi. I'm mobile and I use a medium suitcase/cabin case on wheels and with a retractable handle. It has a separate zip up section at the bottom which I use for my lamp and a few other bits. I put most other things in separate see-through zip up bags in the main section so that I can easily spot...

    Manicure course then Shellac training?

    Hi, I can highly recommend CND for your manicure course. I did my training in Leeds at S2 and bought all of my Shellac kit from the shop on the same day. As Geeg says, phone Sweet Squared and they can answer all your questions. Best of luck with your training.

    CND Additives set

    Hi Have you tried an Ellisons branch (if you can get to one). Ellisons were out of stock for online ordering so I enquired at Birmingham and the lovely Alex popped one aside for me - it was the last one in store on Tuesday though. I had also enquired with S2 who confirmed they are being...
