I agree with the others...definitely not. We have seen there are some really good fakes and you won't be able to tell the difference until it's too late. There are so many consequences...hurting your clients, invalid insurance, gaining a bad reputation, losing clients as the product doesn't last...

As above, I have different pedicure packages and these include either buffed nails or polish. Clients can add Shellac or Minx for an extra £10 xx

I trained in Shellac as part of the complete course, then did the art & style and master painter, all the courses have been worth doing and I've learnt something new on all of them. I was a model on a Shellac brings them back course and people who had been using it for years were applying it...

Thanks Geeg, I've been collecting my additives and have quite a few now, but this was the first time I'd used them as I want to start adding them to my service menu. It wasn't a complete mess, I didn't have any over towels, it was just a bit down side of nail. The effect was amazing though, I...

Additives for sure, I just did my first set with black and silver cnd additives and they looked amazing...only drawback is the black gets everywhere, when I asked for advice on this I was told to vaseline around the edge of nail and to use an eyeshadow applicator xx

Congratulations on your wedding. I guess thats a risk you take. Having 2 weeks away is a risk, but clients will wait if theres a genuine reason. 4 weeks is a long time. Have you spoken to any of your clients to see how they feel? You could see if other techs in the area will help you out...

Should have said to give S2 a call and speak to one of the helpful people there 0845 210 6060, they will be able to help you more xx

I trained with CND last year and enjoyed it so much I've completed further training (and will do more) and attended The Event in April. My ea is amazing, we are still in touch now, she is so supportive, I've made some amazing friends, the products are lovely...all of them...and great to use...

Same as 2h2h, same pep as for Shellac xx

I started in this industry after my divorce and just wanted to say good luck, you'll soon pick it back up xx

It was a great course to do after Shellac brings them back, as well as having a good time, learning loads and becoming much more confident with Shellac, I also made 3 really good friends who I still speak to now :Love:xx

Yes, the Master is the ultimate skill certificate, whether painter, architect or sculptor. The morning was incredibly stressful with theory & assessments, the afternoon was lighter and we learnt more nail art techniques too xx

My personal feeling of it is that it's a pass or fail course, you are taught techniques on the various courses needed in the run up to the Master. My ea encouraged me and felt I was ready from the work she had seen. This is an assessment of what you can do. If you are not good at pep...

There's Brisa smoothing gel which is used on the natural nail for extra protection xx

Like you I wasn't sure, I thought 'what was the point', but having tried it now on two clients who both suffer splits down the centres of their nails and other clients with deep ridges, I can honestly say it works. All clients that I've tried it on are thrilled and it looks great on its own or...

Its an amazing course, I did one in January and again at The Event. I was told it was pass or fail, so I was nervous for at least 2 weeks beforehand. There is theory and you are assessed on pep, application of block colour & french, this included being timed. There is Brisa included now. I felt...

Good luck and you'll be fine. Not quite the same but I've recently had an interview for Beauty Therapy level 2, I trained with CND as a nail tech last year. I'm 43 and had to spend 3 hours at college, although some of this was functional skills tests which I would say you don't have. The...

Have you tried Bournemouth Emma, I asked this question on their fb page and they still have full stock in. Great idea about using the almond range. Could you also use the Scentsations lotions too so you could mix & match...ie an Almond & Black Cherry? Is the Eart range actually discontinued now...

Thanks Marian, I am a nail technician first and foremost and for me personally I am so pleased that I trained as a nail technician first. I feel that the bt is an added extra to the nail services I provide rather than the other way round. I would love to do what you do, i'm good under...

I have trained as a nail technician, I did the cnd complete, nailstyle, master painter, attended The Event and I''ve also trained in Exposed, Minx, Shrinking Violet and most recently the Brisa build it. I love training and keeping up to date with it, I take it very seriously and I am about to go...
