Hi I have a salon in Birmingham City Centre and we are always looking for good nail technicians. Can you let me know a bit about what you have done or more importantly what you would like to do. Thanks marco

I feel so amazingly sad to hear of the death of the absolute genius Tom Holcomb. For those who were fortunate to see him in action and furthermore were able to fully understand his absolute mastery of his technique realise that this man will be missed by so many, on so many different levels. The...

1. Are you removing the inhibition layer before you airbrush? (that sticky stuff. not with fingers...) 2. If it just french you are trying to acheive why are you not creating the crisp sharp smile lines with white sculpting gel? (does your system offer this? if not I know some that do) 3...

make sure it is a glass (swazzzzkriki ziski or something can remeber the spelling!!) gem not acrylic and does not have a sticky backing

I would only use the sealant/finishing gloss gels. Only. i.e the very thin gels used for final finishing. Do not use any builder gels at alll not needed! The idea is to lock in the design not shape the nail. So apply very thin layers. We do not want it to look like very thick topcoat. Hope...

Yes you can. Make sure you don't final finish the enhanced nails. (natural nails are different and need a complete prep and a adehsion promoter). Do not buff them. Leave a 180 grit or above surface. Little bit of texture to grip onto. Remove oils etc. Otherwise you will get balding spots when...

I have found that some technicians who have a tendancy to file one side of their nails. Have lipsticked their tips in the same direction . The result is no visible signs of wear and tear at work.

Have you tried them yet Marco

Glad you like them. Hope you have the opportunity to put some on Regards marco

Just to say well done to everybody who made the effort and entered the national nail competetions this weekend. We all hear other nail technicians talking about how good they are and if they entered blah blah blah!!! But those who get out of bed, prepare, worry, practice and stress to get...

I came 5th out of 8 entries. I agreed with this position having quickly scanned the other competitors. It is all about the day and I produced a great set of salon nails. It also gave me a great opprtunity to see the top three and further emphasised the importance of a good hand model at this...

Just like to say Go on son!!!!! to Mr Sculpt at this years olympia. Mr Buckley put together a wicked set of long fluted super square sculpts to mash everybody up and took a well deserved Ist in winner of Winners. Regards Marco Benito

The way I did was to get some clear tips and mess about with beads. You can better understand how powders can be used and how they look. As you noticed some are more 'seethrough than others'. Don't be scared to mix and match as they are all perfect color powders so it's o.k to do so. I found...

Airbrushing is ace!!!! That's my opinion. Here are the rules for problem free airbrushing: 1 keep your brush clean 2 clean your airbrush 3 Getting the idea!!!!! 99% or your problems will be caused by not cleaning the brush. That aside do not bash your head in about being creative. Your...
