I put a layer of resin on before the silk, building the nail bed up, and thiner on the tip, then lay the silk over before continueing. It's been a while so sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. x

there were 18 - 50 year olds on my course - I was worried I'd be the oldest at 36, but actually it was a good mix. Good Luck!

hi - there is a thread on here somewhere about the NVQ nails- you could do this at your local college, one night a week - this covers man/ped and enhancements. this is a great base to start from. If you haven't done an NVQ before, you should be able to apply to do the course for free.(you have...

pretty much having the same problem. I do overlay on toes with gel, but i have a lady who is comng tomorrow with nail loss - although she now has some regrowth. i was thinking of building a tip with l&P(as discribed above) and then overlay with the gel. what i worry about is the nail lifting...

Yes, well done!! I've just ordered some gelbond, as I have been told this really helps! so I can practice on my sister at last! (really bad nails) when (if) she comes back for infil, take some pic's would love to see them. xx

not strange, sure it can be explained, but same happens to me, except it 11.11 even had carpark tickets with it on... just read the post above mine - now thats odd, someone with the same time!!

I use Salon Systems Thai Pedicure, there is a soak, scrub, mask and moisturiser, all of which smell divine and all my clients say they want to fall asleep! I always do a good leg and foot massage, using a few reflexology moves my sister (trained in it) showed to me. I don't always do the mask...

what about a cotton baby bed sheet, you know the ones for protecting the mattress from bed wetting? they look okay and wash really well. Glad you have calmed down. I too would dwell, I'm terrible for going over and over stuff in my mind!

Poor you, hope everything is okay now. I picked up a great folding table from Dunelm mill, 7.99, looks nice (wooden) and really sturdy. light and folds very flat. good luck

good luck!! you'll be fine. xxx:hug:

Thanks will try that, will also look at the tutorial above, going to the show on Sunday so will be looking at new systems! Jayne

having a VTCT is alway good grounding, if they are both on the guild website then you will be able to get insurance from either course. send off for info from both or speak to them, you will be able to decide who comes across as most professional (think i spelt that wrong!) I think it depends...

Thats basically what I do too, works for me. Love fiberglass, just wish my system didn't have so many bottles (nsi) any tips on how to stop the brush going hard! :)

Three words... SIGN THE PETITION :hug:

Yes, there are several which are perfect to do overlay. if for instance you looked into BioSculpt, they would provide training, but there are some that you can buy with out their training, although if you haven't used gel before this would be a bit useless! if you have had some training some of...

try here - would have looked for you, but don;t know you postcode! plus have to go get Jess from nursery Beauty Guild : Training Directory - Beauty Guild good luck Jayne

Your local collage would be a good place to ask. You can get training in a weekend - but as this is quite an art (my sister does it) I would recommend doing a full course - do a search on the internet, all areas offer different things. If your clients are asking, then there is a demand! alway...

hi Tips are only needed if there is a problem with the nail, overlays are fine. If you don't like removing gel (is it the filing off?) look for a soft soak off gel. I have only done overlay with Gel, so I can't tell you if acrylic will be any good, i can imagine that with it being so hard it...

oh I don't know, they dried quick! and loads of colours,(I had hippy nails, different colour each day, when I was 15!!)..... but NO WAY would I use them on clients. No, you really need to look for a branded varnish. there are good ones that aren't too expensive, try Cocota I've tried a few of...
