Hi fellow geeks,
I'm about to start out as a mobile tech concentrating on nails. With money being so tight it's taken me almost 2 years to get everything I need together
but I'm now getting the last bits together and marketing done and I'm raring to get out there!
So what's the problem?
Well....I love OPI and have a vast collection of the lacquers and this swayed me to go for GelColor over Shellac, now I'm worried I've made a massive and costly mistake!
I've been practising on friends and family using a Cheap LED lamp (I know, I know....) but I knew I had to get the OPI lamp before I could start on paying clients. So in about a week I will have saved the money to buy it but it's just occurred that I might be better off putting that money towards investing in Shellac instead? I'd be sorry to not continue with Opi, it has lasted fantastically well during my practise runs, the colours etc but no one I know who isn't in to nails has heard of it apart from my mum who knows it from QVC lol! I find I describe it as gel polish they think I mean gels so I end up having to say You know, like shellac?' and then the penny drops....I'm worried I won't get clients if I continue with OPI whereas Shellac sells itself.
Ive got about 18 Gelcolors already and I could cry to think that could be good money wasted.
Sorry about the long post but I'm really panicking, my leaflets are being designed as well at the mo and I don't know whether to put them on hold until I can decide which line I'm offering...
Thanks if you've got this far, any advice will be gladly received..xx
