Hi Chata,

Welcome to Ireland!

I'm originally from the UK, moved to Dublin just over 4 years ago now.

The only place I know to get supplies from are in Dublin, and I think you're probably around 90 or so minutes away.

You'll soon get used to the Euro, but prices here are more expensive and VAT at 21% doesn't help matters! :irked: The nail industry here is a bit behind the UK (IMHO) but it's catching up slowly. There's a Professional Beauty Show at the RDS here in Dublin every October and an IBPA Show in April so they are usually worht paying a visit to, although do make sure you book your free ticket in advance or you'll be charged 20.00 Euro on the door.

Feel free to PM me if I can help you 'settle in' at all, I'll do what I can to help.

I'll PM you my email address so you can give me a shout if you need to.

Who did you train with in the UK? We have distributors here for Ez Flow, NSI, CND, Young Nails and Star Nails, all in Dublin. There's also Salon Services which isn't far from the Red Cow Roundabout (just off the M50) and there's also a place called Flair but I've not been there.

You'll soon get used to the place, beware the traffic in Dublin - it's horrendous!!
