Help with Gel?

[Kelly-Tara]

Hi there i am new to this, I am currently training with essential nails doing a gel nail course, and was just wondering if there are any beauty shows or anything where you can experiment with different gel products. Also just advice on the best gel products to use.
Thanks

There is a beauty show coming up in March 1-3 in London which is highlighted here on the site on a banner add !! :lol: Take a look. There you can have demos on your own nails and watch them being applied.
Also watch and read the posts on here re gels .. there are so many.
I recommend Brisa Gels from CND. There are many benefits to using this strong, hypoallergenic, colour -stable and long-lasting gel ... the best one is that your clients will love you for using it.

More information is obtainable from 08452106060 ... the company, Sweet Squared, who distribute CND products.

Well not all the time but a few in different areas throughout the year. They are held on Sunday and Monday and sometimes a Saturday is included. Manchester in October.
You need to complete your EN course and then you may be able to convert to CND. It will involve a class as not all gels are the same and you need to be taught how to work with each different product.
If you want info re classes and career paths than call them on 08452106060 to discuss. It costs nothing to ask does it!

and a gazillion other articles and tutorials found on this site :green:

As for the 'best product', the answer will vary upon whom is replying.

My advice? Choose a gel/L&P training that is top quality BUT local to you, so that you'll have full support and be able to take more easily and get your products with minimum shipping & delays.

Choosing one that is A) hard to get to for education and continuing education B) so far that your products take a while in shipping and "UHOH you're out of gel and have a client in the morning " is a mistake.

Now even better, if Geeg lives next door, you'll be in paradise

Hi hun i trained with EN but now use NSI balance gels i brought a little sample kit very reasonable under £5 to try. Lots of brands do trail kits for you to try.
