    A July return!

    Look up The Guild. It should be on their website. It's £20. I'm sure you can get free ones and don't forget you can go onto the HSE website to do a free risk assessment

    No, they can be viewed as income

    Small business grant fund

    It would be interesting to know if that's included in the rent. Could you tell me where to find this info on the government websites?

    IkoniQ are hypoallergenic gels. They have a product called Polytek. Have you been tested for your allergies?

    Employing a self employed nail technician

    They would be either employed OR self employed. One or the other. If you want a self employed tech then advertise a nail desk to rent.

    When is it time to get a new lamp?

    I think you are just here to wind people up. Even CND say that their lamp isn't universal. Why would you argue with them?

    When is it time to get a new lamp?

    Brisa is not a hard gel (as someone already mentioned above) LED's don't degrade like the old UV bulbs did CND lamps do NOT cure hard gels. Considering your lack of knowledge, you really shouldn't be recommending anything. I'll recommend to you to read a few of Doug Schoon's books, and Marian...

    When is it time to get a new lamp?

    I know exactly what you mean, Trinity. FB is even worse. And too many companies just in it to make a quick buck, shouldering none of the responsibility

    When is it time to get a new lamp?

    LED bulbs don't degrade over time. They will cure fully until they come to the end of their life (ca. 50,000 hours) and with then switch off. Not surprised that nail techs get confused with so much misinformation being spread on SM

    Gel polish brand help

    In my opinion, the best on the market at the moment is Ikon.Iq. It's a company that has been around for a while, complies with all the regulations, has both the client and nail tech health and safety as a priority, which is why they offer a free lamp with the purchase of £180 (exl. vat) worth of...

    When is it time to get a new lamp?

    But the CND lamp is NOT safe as a universal lamp. Shellac is a very different product to most gels on the market, which is why it wont cure most gels. The Sun UV lamp would be a better option. As Trinity mentioned, it has a very narrow curing spectrum, which makes it only ideal for Shellac. Not...

    Becoming a nail technician

    The problem with online courses is that they don't give you the practical experience. It's totally different if you have a tutor that is watching, pointing out things you may need to adjust for example your filing technique. Where are you? I would definitely advise you to do a course with a good...

    Just starting out!

    I think Shauna is a great name, as you say, it's unusual so it will be remembered. I chose to use my first name followed by the initial of my surname (as its foreign sounding and didn't want to stand out for that reason) but it's also a "B" so could be mistaken for beauty. I think if people ask...

    Newly qualified looking for gel polish advice

    Another vote for IkoniQ here. They are full coverage with one coat, which is obviously a massive saving. The products I have used previously need up to 4 coats to get the right depth of colour. Plus they are a company with a complete range of products so as you progress in your career, you can...
