    Little choice of colour with Shellac packages

    I make a yellow by layering yellow additive over cream puff. I know what you mean though. Out of my 24 colour 14 are pinks and reds :/ I'm buying the blue additive next as I've been asked by a client for a blue for a shellac pedi. Additives are definitely worth the investment :) x Sent from my...

    What is your passion/hobby when you are not nailing?

    I love gardening! Many of my friends think it's a thing only 'old' people do! I grow flowers, fruit and veg. I'm only in my third year and a combination of Cornish weather and pests Is frustrating but I find it really relaxing. Plus I wear Shellac and when clients ask about it I tell them that...

    Princess parties - questions which haven't been answered!

    Ebay do good bits and bobs, for younger girls check asdas party bag section. I got 6 pink gel pens, 6 flower rubber, 6 pink bracelets and 6 notepads for £3. 5-7 year olds love that kind of stuff. Poundland is great too. I give the option of party bags, some mums like to put them together. I...

    I'm bored and want to offer something new, any ideas?

    Body wraps? Laser treatments? Ladies nights? A few salons around here also have a nurse come in once a month to do botox and bubbles nights. Obviously that one isn't you doing the treatment but a friend was telling me her salon did well out of it and they're making it a regular thing :) Sent...

    Acrylic powder

    Hey! I haven't personally used different coloured acrylic but check with NSI first, as this is the brand you're using already. I would strongly recommend NOT buying powders, liquids etc. of Ebay. I buy some nail art bits of there, storage, and couch roll but no products. They could be fake x...

    How many massages become too many?

    Hey!! I have no idea if there is a legal limit on the amount of treatments you give, but there are employment laws that state you must have breaks and days off. Are you trained in stones? I find them fiddily (I qualify next week) but I'm getting better and they take loads of pressure of my...

    Order of massage for Swedish/hot stone?

    Hey! I think everywhere teaches it slightly different. At college we are being taught back, glutes, back of legs, turn over, feet, front of legs, stomach, arms, face neck and shoulders. I think I'm going to mix things up a little though. I like the idea of starting on the front and finishing...

    Thank you for your reply! I went ahead last night and other half is nicely tanned!! Only bad patch was on top of his hands - the condition of his skin is quite bad here due to his job. I'm going to do another one on him at the weekend, but carry out a luxury manicure first. Hopefully this will...

    Does physical appearance of therapists matter?

    As the others have all said - go for it!! I'm in my second year at college. I'm 26 with 3 kids and also overweight. I had the same worry, and more! (age, I'd have nothing in common with the others) All the girls in my course are lovely and we're all different. My closest friend on the course...
