I use a glitter striper - I find the brush easier to get a good smile line with.

I'm mobile and I find a tunic with a pocket in really useful for car keys, mobile phone, tweezers etc that I don't want to put down just anywhere or risk leaving at someone's house. Unfortunately a lot of the nice tunics now don't have pockets!

I find Bio sculptures work well although I don't like doing them. A lot depends on the client and her lifestyle. Some really like Bio sculptures, some prefer overlays, some can manage OK with Bio over tips and others can't, and some just prefer L&P. It's trial and error - no one thing...

Yes, I've found my white goes thicker (and a bit stringy) after a while and it becomes more difficult to work with. When I get a new pot I decant half of it into another (cleaned) pot so I'm only using a half at a time which keeps the other half nice and new. I also find adding a bit of...

Hi I do a 10-mile radius then charge 80p per mile over that. HTH

I have a 20-mile round-trip limit, with a £10 minimum charge. Then it's 75p per extra mile.

Congratulations and well done! Are you doing the sculpting course in Coventry??

Brilliant!! Can you do a training course, or at least a tutorial please??!!

I got a couple of copies of PN free and thought it was because I have my insurance with them. However, when they stopped arriving I rang to query it and was told that I wasn't actually getting them as part of the insurance deal (I'd not ticked the right box - doh!!), but that I was...

I was wondering that too. Surely you'd have to do the lunula first, swiping the edge to get it crisp, then butt the next colour to it - maybe, eh???

You could arrange for a friend/neighbour to come round pretending to be your next appointment. Touble is, if you've got things to do, you might not be able to get rid of her either!!!

... you can knit a with them instead of needles. Brill thread!

This is what I was meaning. If we stay solid, maintain our levels and don't see each other as a threat, the industry can only benefit. But, as has been said, consumers need educating too. I didn't know Creative was such a reputable company with high training standards until I found this...

I am not vindicating this sentiment, but unfortunately, this IS the way of the world. And it happens in all industries. Consumers want cheap and there's always someone who will provide it. But before we totally condem NSS and hobbyists for taking food of our tables, aren't we guilty of...

I have to blame the insurance companies - and the nail industry itself to some extent. There is no clear-cut route for someone wanting a career in nails. If we weren't able to get insurance without such-and-such a qualification, we would all know what we had to do. How many threads have...

I'd be happy to send another gift if you still need some more. Also, you can have my geek molians - may take me a while to work out how to transfer them though. :hug:

Just how I feel - so fed up with French. Everyone ooohs and aahs at all the colours and nail art then say, "but I'll have my usual French." Grrrrrr!! :irked:

Ooooo yes!!!! Let's see if we can start a trend. I like the darks, but life's a bit gloomy after Christmas - it'd be nice to brighten things up a bit.

Amber Ellisons in Leicester definitely stocks Orly - that's where I get mine. They're really nice varnishes.

Yippeee my Secret Santa's been.:D It was Whitmore and she's sent me some delicious chocolately stuff for the bath. How good is that?? Chocolate without extra calories for my fat thighs:lol: Can't wait to give it a go. Thanks Emma :hug: :hug:
