thank you all for such kind replies, i will post some pics just as soon as i can i have took some just need to sort out how to put them on here, as for any advise i will try but if anyone as any paticular advise they need pm me and i will try and answer. i applied for licence ages ago in nov 2004 which gave me loads of time, so i got every thing ready, started taking pictures of all the nails i do with my regulars now i have a wonderfull display. this as helped loads people just look and say i want them, i started buying stuff gradually so doesn't feel like i have spent as much as i have, i decided on the rem horizon nail bar i shopped around for this and managed to get cheaper than most suppliers, i went to ikea got loads of stuff really good prices if anyone wants a display the have a really nice glass one for 35.00 pounds it looks really nice, it has safety glass in so no probs . i also did some more training which so glad i did, and can not wait to do more. i honestly think that is the key to success the more training the more confident you are. its not good enough just to do nails now with so much competition, as soon as i get comfy at work and get in to a routine i will be getting myself off back to creative for some more training.
