I was hoping to help raise some money for the local primary school at their May Fair ... and something happened that caused me to have to call it off! I have an XL2000 airbrush runining with an XL compressor (sold as a kit at Creative) and have used it on other occasions for body and nail...

I think I worry more about prices than any other single thing to do with mobile nailing :-( I know it is time I put them up a little (or make some savings) but I am charging roughly the same as local salons. I know the salons have bigger overheads but on the other hand have to run the car...

I have had a few invitations to do some airbrushing at a few local fetes etc. but I will obviously need electricity as there is none on the site(s) I can use. Does anyone here us a small quiet generator and if so could you pass on any advice, warnings, links etc. Many thanks :-)

Just a quick one; does anyone know if I need a licence of any type to operate a small airbrush bodyart stall at local fetes etc? I am assuming that you DO if you do it on the local promenade but what about a private function I wonder? Kids party, church fete, school sports day etc etc...

This may be the wrong place to pop it but no doubt somebody will move it if it is :biggrin: I am looking for some stencils for body art but am particularly looking for smaller stencils, suitable for children. There are lots out there with skull and crossbones etc. for 'grown-ups' (?)...

I am looking for some tabbards of a particular type. After looking at lots of sites I still don't seem to be able to find the kind I want. Who would have guessed they can be so different! In the hope that somebody here has a recomendation from buying some themselves, I am looking for...

Hi Everyone .... been away for a while re-charging the batteries, but getting on with things now. Question .... Bearing in mind that a lot of my work is mobile, has anyone got ideas for uniform? I want something OBVIOUS (not something that looks like a t-shirt), smart, professional etc...

I have been offered the possibility of renting a small room or space in a beauty salon or fitness club. The arrangement would be that they supply the space and table ........ I supply everything else. It would be (in each case) a casual 'as and when there is a customer' arrangement I think...

I am in a little bit of a mix as I am considering a large advert in a local 'free' newspaper and now I have the chance I can't make up my mind what to put!!! Should I concentrate on price? My mobility (I am mobile and cover a very 'country' area or small villages)? The benefits of a...

I see that Creative do 1-2-1 training for about £35 (list not near me, guessing!). Has anyone done any? How long do you get for the £35? Can you chose in advance what you spend the time on? I am assuming you take all your own gear? Lots of questions and I know a (lucky) lot of you are at...

Although I was planning to go and really looking forward to it, I now find I am unable to get to Excel because of family things. Just to ease my disappointment can anyone give me an idea of any forthcoming shows etc' that could give me something to look forward to? Dee in Somerset :(

Put me right if you can please ?? I did the equivelent 4 day foundation course with NSI that gave me my nail tech certificate. That course included manicure techniques but did not obviously include a manacurists diploma. OK, so now I want to do a 'proper' man/ped course but have...

I seem to have the wrong end of a stick so maybe someone can help? I am looking to do a manicure course. I have done one with a previous company/trainer but looking back am not convinced it was as good as it could have been. I have signed-up for one with Creative but now find it is primarily...

I am planning to do a Creative Spa Manicure/Ped course in a week or two. Just to convince me, can anybody who may have done one recently confirm that it is a good course and that (despite having done manicures for about a year) I will learn lots and properly ....... my original training left (I...

Just got back from a brief but welcome break at Sennen in Cornwall. The weather forecast was wrong and the sun shone nearly all the time :sunny: Now, mittens. I know a lot of you use them and the leaning seems to be towards the wheat ones. Once warmed, in a microwave I guess (?) how long...

Three days in Cornwall starting today. A quick break to recharge some batteries (mine!) after the first week working on my own. I have decided a break prior to the show and my manicure course at Salisbury will give me the little extra vrooom that I need as I come to terms with working for...

I may be confused, mis-informed or whatever but can someone clear this up as I have only been here a few days and am wondering ... Is it correct that Creative will only sell (any??) of their products to someone who has trained with them? If so I am a little confused as when I was working in...

A quick one, and just to find out what your individual feelings are. Ear piercing on a child. Do any of you set your own lower age limit? Many parents now seem to have their daughters (or son I guess?) ears pierced at a very early age. Are there special dangers, laws or problems? What age...
