Best Acrylic System?? ... Re-train??

[Funkee.Nails]

Hi Nail Geeks,

I'm pretty new to all this so I'll start from the beginning ...

I attended College part time two nights a week studying Nail Treatments (Mani & Pedi), Nail Technology (Extentions incl. Acrylic, Gel, Fibreglass & Silk) & Nail Art (Fine Brushes) & I qualified about 4 years ago.

I only had the bare minimum training as the course only lasted around 9 months & because the class has such a large number (around 25-30 students), I didn't think I had the right training & we were shown "how-to" the once & let loose with our clients (or each other in most cases!!)

I have done nothing with my qualification since the end of my course & would really like to start back up & extend my training. I got "trained" with Salon System & didn't really agree with the acrylic as I couldn't get the liquid/powder mix right each time i dipped & applied. It was either too wet & runny or too dry & "crystalised".

I really enjoy the benefits of acrylic myself & alot of my friends who I speak to either prefer gel or acrylic & none have favoured fibreglass & silk.

IMO I don't favour fibreglass & silk myself as they don't have the same strength as Acrylic.

Anywhoooo *takes breath* ... As I'd like to start back up doing nails i.e. Mani's, Pedi's, Acrylic & Gel, I'd like a proffesional POV on which system they prefer & the end results i.e. strength, application, aftercare, etc please :lol:

Big TY to any that reply

Oh don't know if this makes any difference but I am from the Staffordshire region so if anyone knows of any training around my area that is highly reccommended I'd be grateful for some info !!

Confused Newbie :Scared:

There is so much information here on the site re different brands that I recommend you do a search using the geek search facility and get some feedback that way. The brands with reputation stand out quite clearly and there is massive amounts of posts recommending products and services. Here's mine:
Retrain with CND ... 08452106060 for further info ... allot can change in 4 years and there is no comparison with the product or training you had before; CND stands out by 100 miles. You can also take a look at Welcome - Sweet Squared the home of CND in the UK. :hug:

Thanks ever so much for the link, I've had a browse through the courses & they're really good prices I thought for a re-train

I'm considering the intermediate liquid & powder basics course as I think thats most suitable for my needs ... What do you think?!

Thanks again
