    CND Geeks! Something special is coming

    Works from within the nail? Is it like a pill or something, like perfectil. How else can it get into the nail if it's not taken internally. I'm intrigued.

    Is there a market for express nails?

    If anyone wants to give more details on where to tell clients to get sticky backs etc that would be appreciated. It's a great idea and I'd love to be able to offer it to garner interest in nail art from my clients. Thanks in advance :D

    Safe carrier oil for pregnant woman?

    Hey all, Our usual cream we use for pregnancy massage is currently out of stock, so we are considering using our normal oil. I have tried to fond this on the web but can't. Is soya bean & wheatgerm oil carrier oil safe to use? Can anyone tell us for sure? Thanks guys x

    Big steps, too soon?

    You would be best to try and get some salon experience before opening your own salon, in my opinion. You need to learn how to deal with issues with customers that your business man dad would have no idea of. It's a very different game. Good luck whatever you decide to do :)

    Minx procedure

    My advice would be to do the training to learn the procedure before sussing out competition.

    Shellac colours to get next?

    I agree with leaving hotski. In our salon it isn't a very popular colour at the moment :)

    Please help me choose a beauty couch

    I have the tm04 - it is a gorgeous comfy couch. I can manage it but it is heavy so wouldn't want to try 18kg. I bought it based on advice from geeks here.

    Hi... I'm Tinxy and I'm one of the "horrid" one day coursers! :)

    Hi kathie, I originally did CIDESCO, ITEC, IAL etc This time I went through the NVQ system and YES - standards have dropped. I felt people were being let pass exams with insufficient skills or practice. This was a p/t night class. It's a shame that the industry is the way it is now, but I just...

    Hi... I'm Tinxy and I'm one of the "horrid" one day coursers! :)

    My thoughts - I trained & am fully qualified since 1990. There were no easy ways into the industry then - I worked my ass off for a year to get my qualifications. Then through motherhood I was out of the industry for 14 yrs. So I went back and did another YEAR long course to refresh my training...

    Horrendous skin - make-up and remedy advice please?

    A really good coverage foundation is clinique continuous coverage if you can get it. It has limited colours and you need to go lightly with it but it covers everything and doesn't irritate the skin. People never think I have foundation on and I wear it sometimes. Good luck hun x

    Mentor please

    Personally I think only trained beauty professionals should run salons. So if I was you I would do the training - your staff will respect you more not to mention your clientele :)

    Gel polish training

    Shellac isn't a gel polish.

    Konad-all you need to know and your favourite pics!

    Planky - I've been having issues with white stamping as well. Half of it doesn't transfer off the stamper etc, and I know I'm not too slow or anything. I have ordered a new white to see if that helps - am convinced it's gone off or something

    Fungal infection treatment

    If you want rid - take tablets! Break them in half if it helps but take them. That fungus spreads to other toes if left untreated. It takes time to grow out but is worth it in the end. Stick with it!

    Leaving the room during a facial.....

    In the salon I worked at years ago - we used to leave clients while a mask was on, or while we were lash tinting, but we were literally outside the door if they needed us. We did it as the salon was really busy and we often had phone calls, or people arriving in to make appointments. Anytime I...
