Well thought I’d post a new thread about a few things, hope you don’t mind. It’s been no secret that I’ve been struggling recently to get my business running. I’ve done all the usual, Facebook page, Website, Yell & Gumtree listings, leaflet drops, voucher donations to schools for raffles...

Just had a bust up with the salon manager I'm renting nail space from. 1 of her regulars was in this morning, having her hair done, she mentions she wants her feet done with the beautician & her NSS acrylics repainted with Gelish with me. So while she's developing her colour she comes to me, I...

Where i rent nail space from, the salon managers daughter has had acrylics done by me before & I really struggle to do them on her. The first time she had tips & I found it really difficult to get them on without sticking it to her skin as well cause of her nail bed (see photo for what it's...

Since there are so many members from all over the world on here & mostly are women, i was wondering if there are any women here who've chosen to be single mothers ?? I don't mean not being with the child's father due to one reason or another, i'm talking about having a baby by donation. I'm at...

I'm a member on a few forums, most of them motorbike 1's, & there are 2 threads which people post things about their days which made them smile or what irked them today. I thought since most people come on forums for info or to rant about something, a thread where you can get off your chest...

Did a client a few weeks ago who had L&P with Gelish over & 2 metal bows put on ring fingers with a small dollop of L&P to hold in place. She's due her backfills soon & I'm just wondering what to do with these bows ?? She likes them & has said she doesn't mind keeping them on, am just trying to...

Just under 11 years ago, I had 2 full blown epileptic fits in just over a week apart. These were put down to what they thought was a cyst on the brain. A year later they said we’re fairly sure it’s just cyst but we want to do a biopsy. Under the biopsy they found out it was a grade 2 glioma...

Saw a client today who suffers arthritis in her hands & fingers, the nail bed is shaped with a bump in & she has something just above her nail plate. She said its been there for years & is sore to touch. Been looking on the net this evening & thought it might be a Digital Myxoid Cyst, reading...

I've been told 2-3 widths of a credit card for the optimum width, but am finding people coming into the salon to have their hair done & they're acrylic nails are so thin they're like stick on nails. Thing is, somehow these acrylics are lasting & I don't know how to make mine last, let alone...

Hi geeks !! I've got some caviar/micro beads to have a play about with before the trend catches on in my town & I'm having issues with it. I originally thought it'd be like glitter, so put it on top of the cured top coat on the inhibition layer .... Some stuck, but still left patches. If I...

Think I've posted previously that i'm struggling with my acrylics lasting. But I'm now at the point where I'm seriously pulling my hair out & considering stoping them. I trained in Nail Harmony Fusion Acrylics, passed my assessment ok but for whatever reason they're just not lasting, about 10...

Hello Geeks, I've done the Nail Fusion course a few weeks ago & have done a few full sets of tips with the Fusion acrylics as my sculpting technique for french isnt the best, however for the sets of tips i've done, all have lasted about 10 days before they've just popped off with no damage so...

I'm starting at a salon renting space tomorrow & this is my first time renting, I'll be doing 5 days a week Tue-Sat, & am wondering, do I leave all my kit in the salon everynight ? The area isn't particularly great & not sure I fancy leaving all my Gelish colours & 18G lamp on display, but...

Hey Geeks, I've just spent the last half an hour reading all the previous posts about how to reduce the smell of monomer, what techniques you can do to reduce the smell, products available which reduce, odour-free or even take the smell out. I'm in the middle of my Gelish Fusion course &...

I did my Fake Bake training a couple of days ago & thought i'd post up a review in case anyone was thinking about doing it. Also a quick review of the new 60 minute tan they have. Training: There was 6 people on the course, a lot of information on the products that they sell, which i think...

Hi Geeks !! I'm looking to see if any of you mobile therapist geeks can tell me how you carry all your equipment, do you have a bag, case, etc ?? I'm going to be doing nails & tanning & need something to carry all the stuff in. For the tanning, I'm looking for something big enough to...

Hello all, I'm looking at taking a part time course at my local college to do liquid & powder nail enhancements. I spoke to my sister's nail technician yesterday about starting up as a mobile nail technician as i had a few questions which she answered. She mentioned that she was a rep for...
