    Refreshments with nail services?

    I was told when training not to have drinks on the working desk for hygiene, the thought of drinking nail dust etc so I have just kept that as a rule! :-) maybe I should do a little sign explaining why. Something funny! Sent from my LG-P970 using SalonGeek

    Silk wrap help!

    Not sure if I am being dim here as been ages since I did silk but surely the problem is the acetone?! I use that in soak off why are you applying that in prep? Maybe that is why it is not sticking? Or is that in blending tips? If so then scrubfresh to remove all traces and I would start with...

    Email promotions/flyers

My price list is on my website under treatments in downloadable docs in pink....It sounds like it is more formatting you are struggling with so maybe deleting some of mine and redoing would help with your layout...mine is on A4 when print but then slice in half...

    Konad black always smudges!

    No I use Lumos, maybe I will get some Konad top coat and try, I would not have thought it would make that much difference. I have seen some beautiful lace designs with black that I do with white for wedding nails but with black looks so unprofessional. I may try and dig out the black design in...

    Things you wish you had bought when practicing after training?

    With the nail trainers I have always wondered how like painting real nails it is e.g painting acrylic nails is so much easier than natural nails in my opinion. Does that make sense? Does it just feel like your painting false nails? Sent from my LG-P970 using SalonGeek

I would spend so...
