It is surely better to research the best quality for your business rather than the cheapest. What product are you training with - do you not want to carry on with it?

Lost and happy geek!
Surely when you did your training you were told where to buy your products from? Also IMO cheap rarely equals good......

NOTE: i am just starting out in the nail industry! I use THE EDGE but as i am a student aswell i need to find cheap but good products as I am starting out i can't afford to keep buying the dearer stuff until i build my clients up.

Do you want to know the truth? There is only a tiny difference in price between the best products and the worst!
Cheap and Good do not go together. Starting out or not, it is possible to make a huge return on what you have paid out for supplies if you are charging correctly.
As there is a massive difference in quality (between the best and the cheapest) and in how products handle ... why risk your reputation by using pants products or, for that matter, waste your time and energy outting right the problems you can have when using cheap stuff? I just do not get this mentality when there is so little difference in cost yet such a big difference in how the products last for your clients.
If peeps actually did a proper costing between what they think is expensive and what they think is cheap instead of just 'thinking' or perceiving that one thing is much more than another (or just listening to waht others only thnk is true), they would be very surprised.

Want to take any bets on that one?? :lol:
And I never said you didn't use good products! My comments were general not personal and trying to give you good advice about what and where to buy which is what you asked for. If you don't want my advice or value it then don't take it. :hug:

Sometimes trying out new products and keeping costs down is difficult when starting out. The way i do it is to buy the trial packs that most suppliers offer. For example, The Edge as you may know do both acrylic and gel trial packs for around £10. Others also do the similar. Depending on what system you have trained in - a bargain is the CND conversion courses where they not only train you but give you the products to get started with for around £100. Each system can be very different and its best to get the training along side each one then you know you are using it correctly, hopefully then your clients will come back thus building your client base! Good luck.

Hi there, I thought the same as you when I first started training. What is the use of buying top end products only to use them for practise. I can tell you hand on heart that top end products win hands down every time. The actual difference in price comes down to very little, and generally the lower end products are so much more difficult to work. Then if you were using high end products on clients and using lower end products to practise with, you would have to adapt to two completly different ways of working, because they all react differently. You would also have to invest in two brushes as well, as you should not mix monomers etc..
As this is what you want to do for a business, I would suggest you invest in that business by buying the best, even for training.
Good luck hth
