Let's share work tips and tricks

[mizzy_dizzy]

There are so many fab and practical ideas on SG already but they do get a bit lost in the info.
There are also so many creative geeks here , so I bet there are a million ideas that are not bei g shared ?

I want to see what little ideas or items you utilize to make things Run smoothly at work.

It could be anything , even if it seems small to you it might be the solution to someone else's problems .


Maybe you have a fab thing you use for sorting your client cards ?

Or to hold your products in the car ?

Maybe you have found the perfect display case for your swavorskis ?

By enriching each other with ideas we can help improve the industry as a whole and help make our own life's run a touch smoother .

Lets share

This is my tools caddy (pencil holder) I love that my tools are all in one place, but have their own compartments!

 

[mizzy_dizzy]

This one is one of my faves !

It's a simple pencil grip like the type for kids hand writing .

A lot of people (I for 1 ) do not hold pens correctly when writing , these triangle grips solve that whilest adding balance and control ,

You can switch it from brush to brush or buy a bunch and put them on off of your brushes ,

It helps with everything from painting nice steady lines , through to gel applications ! I love using it with gel,

I had a lot of success using a diffrent one with my L&P brush , I can't show you as I have no idea where that box is ! I'm still waiting to find it to unpack,

I got it when I lived in Aussie (back in NZ now) was a shop that stocked all sorts, think it was called crazy Clark's.
pretty sure I only paid $4 AU each I have 2 the other is on my waxing trolley for all my spatulas etc... I've done a quick search on google and looks like they're hard to come by...

This would be fab for keeping your gel brush clean too when you put it down - it rests on the grip instead of the brush head x

I bought myself some x2 magnifying specs from the local cheapie hardware store. They cost me a whole £1.79 and are cute white with polka dots. I don't usually wear reading glasses but I've found they help no end with close work and detail, nail art and application is soooo much better too. Plus no eye strain. X

I hope this thread grows as I'm loving it already! Must think if I have anything to share but I guess I'm still pretty new :/

I just have mine in document wallets in a large lever arch folder in alphabetical order. Any clients who aren't "regular" and haven't been to me for 4months+ go into a separate folder in my store area, so they're at hand should they come again (as well as the fact we need to keep them for x amount of time) but not taking up room in my main folder

This one was from geeg - when practising, make a sausage type finger shape from blue tack, and press a nail tip on. It's cheap, it will stick to desk so it won't move, and the blue tack also acts as your side walls, so you have to be neat
I'm sure if u asked her she can explain it better than me I'm rubbish at this lol x

Thats a great idea...then you can also pop their nail file in the wallet too!

Why did I not think of that! So simple! Looks like I need to get reorganising.

I did this too, but with play doh. Fantastic to help you get good polishing skills. Would recommend it to everyone.
