    All change in here, LOL

    Wow well I've not been a regular in a long time in Geekdom and there are soooo many names new to me in here. I almost feel like I'm starting over :lol: So, I thought I'd start again. I'm Min, Brit living in Norway. Second time we've moved there, second time I'm wondering why too! I started my...

    Finally, a client!!

    Sadly not for enhancements but a manicure but its a start! Best of it is she just appeared at the garden wall yesterday to ask. No hurry as she just wants to treat herself to some pampering in the next few weeks. So now I'm sorting out insurance, will be buying new products but.... I do have...

    Cherry Chopsticks etc...........

    Isn't it funny how you can just completely misshear something. Even now when I hear that Kate Perry song I hear chopstick :lol: I was baffled for weeks as to what one of these was although as my post in the Minx topic says, given what MrMin had said I assumed it must be quite, well, rude :lol...

    My Christmas nails

    Sorry this is a bit on the blurry side but you can still see very well so thought I'd post it anyway. Not really asking for critique hence posting them here. First venture into L&P since the Event as I have been so smitten with Brisa. First go with the coverage powders, this one is neutral pink...

    EzFlow Boogie nights and Walk of Fame

    I have loads of these and love them all. I know I can use them with CND monomer but can use them with Brisa? I know this might be a bit of a dim question as I know I can seal L&P nails with a gel top gloss but as I have so many of these powders and am loving all my CND products I just thought...

    First ever Brisa

    Ok, my first ever attempt at Brisa. I'm really naffed off but then I never can accept when I struggle to do something :rolleyes: I forgot to cap the free edge in white but did do it with the Brisa Gloss. My white gel is very thick compared to the quite runny clear and pink so I struggled to keep...

    Gel topcoat questions

    I have often wondered about the cost effectiveness of gel top coats if you dont actually offer gel as a service and already have the lamp. The salons I have been to that have done this dont charge any extra for it but they do offer gel as a service anyway so they have the lamps. I know that once...

    Flattering tunics for the 'curvier' tech?

    I have been looking at loads of tunics because I thought if I could wear lightweight tshirt under one I might get away with just one for the event (is that skanky? Should I have two?) as I dont know it would get any much more use than that for a good while. What style to the curvier Geeks...

    Do you read over your old ancient posts?

    I just searched out my old posts :lol: I dont know why I go so quiet cos I certainly didn't seem to have a problem shooting my trap off in my early days :lol: I even found a thread started by some one wondering where I was! I never saw that before!! :eek: It was fascinating seeing names that...

    Do profiles influence the advice you give?

    Ok, I know its another poll amd I know we did profiles before but I'm curious. If I read a question in the nail Geek forum I always look at the profile. If it doesn't say anything about training I dont say much more other than to ask what training they did and then I wait. This is because when I...

    Hair colours not as expected.

    Ok, primarily I'm posting here before I go back and see my lady at the salon so I can get an idea if what happened is my fault. I went the Friday morning I flew out to Holland for my birthday surprise weekend for a cut and colour on my hair. Once there I found out I could only have a patch test...

    Profiles - please fill them in!

    Maybe its just me being picky but lately profiles seem to be getting more and more brief. When I joined everyones seemed so detailed with most Geeks having info written up about themselves, when they trained and what in as well as the systems. Lately it's more and more likely you'll take a peek...

    Sample of Clear performance tips

    I didn't post this in the main nail forum as really I am just asking a favour. Does anyone have a couple of clear performance tips I can have, just for a try? I asked S2 but they dont do that and at the risk of sounding tight I dont want to buy a whole box just to find I dont like them. If its...

    Crash...............

    Well, I should have posted this in my blog really but I'm so fed up mixed with sheer relief that I dont know how to feel. Stuart got half way from the local town to our village last night and ran out of petrol. Got rescued by the AA and got home. Then decided to go out and buy take out for our...

    One colour sculpts

    Hope I did this right. These are one colour (EzFlow natural) sculpts. Its the first time in months I've done a set as I had a disaster with my last remaining bottle of monomer but I have some now and as I am going to Leeds on Friday I wanted to meet Geeg with nails on and I'd rather go with my...

    Disclaimer

    I emailed Graftons yesterday as they sent me lots of training info for EzFlow and product price lists. I didn't see anything about proof of training but I did see that an order needed a customer number so I mailed them to ask if I need to register and how and should I send my certificates. I...

    Alternative prep method?

    I usually usually remove cuticle from my nail with my pro pusher following the EzFlow prep routine but no matter who does it, me very gently or a tech, it is uncomfortable. I litterally feel like I am chewing metal, I cant bear it. My nails have always been very soft and I can see where the...

    Can I come and observe?

    Ok, I'm having the day from hell now so with nothing to lose anymore I figure if I don't ask I wont know. I know now I cant afford for the foreseeable future to get back to Norway to do my last stage of my course or take any extra 'paid for' training (not if I want my cat back anyway). It...

    I need help

    Ok, its taken me ages to pluck up the courage so here goes. As some of you might remember from when I was posting more actively, I started my training with EZ Flow in Norway. Had childcare issues and endless hiccups and eventually switched my course to a modular basis. This means I have done...

    Sidewalls

    Ok, I have been trying to practice a little on myself as well as my trainer hands. They aren't perfect but trainer hands have nice straight sidewalls which helps. MY nails are a nightmare. Every single time I do them I look at them and I know they look 'hippy' but if I file them straight I'm so...
