Hi everyone, and thanks for all those who sent me messages whilst I have been off the board. I have been working very hard recently and have resisted the temptation to log onto the site for fear that I may just enjoy myself too much and not concentrate on the things I need to do. Can't...

Now I have just realised how completely addicted to this site I am. I am going away tomorrow morning and will not get to my PC for at least 5 days. I am trying to figure out if I can get on the net somewhere as I will feel so out of touch!!! Off to hertfordshire to celebrate my Granny's...

I have just been made aware of a site to train nail techs which is really very shabby from another forum. The link is **Link removed ** GMG you will have to remove the stars from this link to make it work - I typed it like this to prevent the google spiders finding their way down it...

If anyone bought the new CND Brisa kit at the show the following may be handy: The UV lamps have been kept in a very cold environment so the bulbs need to be left to aclimatise for a day or so before you use it. The product is just Sooooo new that the lamps are fresh off the plane where they...

Is anyone else flying into Gatwick for the show on Sunday??? Or is anyone travelling in on public transport from gatwick area? Love to know as I'm flying up on my own and fairly nervous!

I really need to know what you all think. Lots of you are in this business beacuse a) you are passionate about nails, b) you have small children and have to work around family commitments. You will imagine how my heart feels about this so I am asking for your thoughts to help me make a decision...

Just in case anyone was interested, I found about Nimue, what the story is beihind the name of the new skincare range to be launched at Olympia: The Lady of the Lake was the foster-mother of Sir Lancelot and raised him beneath the murky waters of her Lake. She is, however, best known for her...

Does anyone know what the requirements are for a nail tech to work in Portugal & Spain. I have a client who is emigrating to either portugal or spain (not decided yet but likely to be portugal) and wants to become a nail tech. She hoped to train here before she went, but I advised her to hold...

I have a friend who has thumbnails which corkscrew. This is due to an accident as a child. OK so this is not a run of the mill nail issue, but what would you all do with it. I want to make the nails look as close to normal (i.e growing straight) as possible. I am thinking - build up one side...

I know I should post privately to Glynis about this, but I just wanted everyone to know how kind she has been. Glynis has kindly sent me a box full of goodies to use at my sisters 13th birthday party (It is a nail party). Glynis you are a star - I must send you some good Karma! This is one...

Are any techs from cornwall going to Olympia? Looks like I will have to go on my own so anyone wanting to share travel ? I have looked at flying from Newquay to gatwick, but I don't know how far Olympia is from there. It costs £105 including taxes. Would be happy to drive if anyone wants to...

I was chatting to the girls who work in the creache at our local supermarket whilst I collected my little girl - and obviously we were talking about nails! She had a set of pink & white l&ps done in a local salon who I know have recently converted to creative. She was happy with them, and she...

I keep getting asked by people if I will teach them nails. I have a client about to emigrate as well as people who have seen my work and a couple of emails this week (not sure where they got me from?) As I am so passionate about nails I would truly love to do this. I have trained techs who...

I have had some "more than white" for some time now, but didn't use it as I had not had much success with it on my first attempt. I knew what I had done wrong as I had checked with Geeg so planned to give it another try on a model at some point. Well last night I gave it another bash. I had a...

My little sister wil be 13 soon (big age gaps in my family!) and she wants me to do a nail party for her and 4 friends. Have any of you ever done this, and what did you do. I'd like to make it really special for her. All ideas very gratefully received.

I'm on the verge of changing my mani/pedi products to Creative Spa range. Could any of you who use these products advise me of how many services you get from each pot of product as I am working on some costings. How much do you charge for these services? Also, what do you charge for...

I have my hair done by one of my clients. We both know use the same wholesaler (Aston & Fincher) and so if she wants my retail products she buys from them to save herself money. I did not have an issue with this until I recently went to buy shampoo & conditioner from the wholesaler to be told...

Today we took out children ten pin bowling. We had never been before and it just didn't cross my mind that my nails would be at risk! I have broken my thumb nail & damaged others. My nails are natural with a thin gel overlay to strengthen (or were!!) so I'm pretty upset. I did love the...

Is Geek wear still available? It would be great to wear some to the expo if I get to go.
