Hi all skin geeks, I have been diagnosed with Jaundice (I'm undergoing tests and have a scan in the morning but that will all be blogged when I know more). The problem I have is that i'm looking yellow and getting rather paronoid about it. What can I use to tone down my yellow tinge as I...

I recevied my CND SkinTones collection yesterday and had a little play last night. The colours are amazing. My question is to those who have used them. Do you/Would you dilute down the colour (ifykwim) Z3 with clear or pink? I used Neutral Pink on my own nail (only did the one) and it...

Hi Geeks, Some of us Kent geeks are going to meet up for lunch in Bluewater on Monday 23rd June. As Bluewater may not be too far for other Geeks in the south east, maybe you would like to join us. The more the merrier. I'll let you know times and the restaurant nearer the time (any...

I've been doing my sister's nails for a little while now and they have been a complete battle. The baine of my life. She says they just ping off (yeah right!) and always has an excuse for it happening. This time it's the nit shampoo (niece got nitts) it dried them out and 2 have pinged off...

I've been meaning to share this with you for a few weeks now, but have jut managed to upload pic from my camera. Anywhoo, was in Ikea a few weeks ago and saw this in the bathroom section. It comes in 2 parts. The first I used as my desk tidy and the second I use to store my powders...

I use Retention + and have just ordered some Radical for a client who is heavy on the nails to see if it suits her better. Do I need a seperate brush for the different monomer or can I use my existing one?

I'm just designing my leaflets, for the opening of my home salon and want to inculded an opening offer. Do I offer a full set at £30.00 (instead of £35.00) or do I give away a free gift like pinkie solaroil. What has worked best for you?

I'm finally getting my bum into gear (have said this loads of times) and am looking at getting some leaflets printed up, so that i can do a drop. I have had a look on the web and prices vary so much. Just wondering where you guys get yours from and how much they cost and how many you ordered...

Not sure what has come over me (as usually I'm just a P&W girl) but I loved Laystar's Tutti Fruitie nails a while back and decided to have ago myself. Let me know what you think. Bythe way these pictures where taken off my new phone. It's better than my camera...

This problem is on my own nails. I have managed to have NNO now for a few months. I've overcome the normal problems with NNO like peeling away from the FE by capping but now seem to get chipping on a few nails. I'm not heavy handed and take care of my nails, so what am I doing to cause...

I have a client booked in on Thursday for a Manicure and Pedicure and she is also getting her legs sprayed (St Tropaz). The thing is will the pedicure effect the tan in anyway. I thought the best thing to do is the Pedicure, then tan (this will be done by the salon owner) and then the...

OK, went into the salon today and did a set of nails on the MOB for the wedding tomorrow. Her nails were in a bad state. I wish I had my camera with me to take before and after pics to show you all. She was a biter and also had tiny nail beds (width). This was my first biter. It took...

The salon I have been working in (saturday's only) have gone an booked me in a set of nails for Friday for a Mother of the Bride. I dont work fridays!! It's sod's law as well, that I cannot get anyone to have the girls. Whole family are on holiday and my bestmate son has chickenpox. I...

Can you get Chicken pox more then once? My little one had it when she was about 8 months old (She will be 2 next week) and looks like she has a few spots coming up on her legs. Mum said that she heard you can have it twice.

Start in the tanning salon on Saturday and spoke to one of the owners today, who advised that she didn't want me to sculpt nails but only tip them for clients. When I asked why? She said "they prefer the look". Well, what can you say to that? Feel alittle deflated as I felt it was a little...

I went yesterday afternoon and did a set of nails on a model and they offered me the nail desk. I start Saturday week and will only be working Saturday's for the moment until business has picked up, then I'll be adding a few week days in as well. I also managed to negotiate a better split...

I just met with a owner of a new tanning salon. They are looking for someone to do nails. As it's a new business I can just start working saturdays only and once clients build up then do more days, which suits me fine. Now this is what's on offer. 60/40 split to me and I supply all my...

I have put this in the biz forum as I think it doesn't matter what field you are in as you may be able to help me. I have been trying for a while (not hard enough to be honest) to set up my home salon. Well it might be a little longer as we are planning other things on the house now and the...
