Hi - I just wanted to know if anyone else is marketing solely natural nail care on a mobile basis - and how it's been. I started doing this last Christmas, after doing the Creative Foundation and then CreativeSpa course - and preferring natural nails, do three kinds of manicure (Standard...

Hi Nat Tov Have you contacted your local authority Environmental Health department? They should be helpful in health and safety issues, disposing of flammable product etc.

I think if you are working from home (particularly l&p) you need to meet ventilation requirements? I was told at Creative that this involves consulting a specialist heating engineer, if you do not have one of those tables that has a built-in ventilation system. Best speak to your local...
