All Right Way 2 Go Great Job Cool

dunno what to say really, I don't really want to blow my own trumpet, but I do feel a little proud.

I got a mention in Nails Magazine (the worlds largest circulation magazine for nail technicians).
Nails Magazine - home

It's a little blurb about my videos on Youtube (which to me are not all that good). Yet Nails mag still say they are great quality.

I don't put all of my videos on Youtube because the format cannot handle the speed at which I file, nor apply (the videos become distorted and pixilated), hence why I took out the cost of hosting them at Nail Zoo , so I could up the clarity and resolution. My Youtube subscribers have no idea I have my own website (yet).......

To say the least, I'm quite chuffed, some of my Youtube videos have had over 50,000 hits.

Oddly enough, over the last week, I have just bought a new camera, done a whole new setup, so now you will be able to see things from my point of view (as I'm working), with much clearer pictures, better movement, better everything. ( I so wanted a helmet cam).

As with all my videos, none of them are staged, they are filmed in salon conditions, as I am doing current clients under salon conditions (no perfect nail beds here) WYSIWYG, and just to mix things up even more, I will be using sample kits from a variety of suppliers.

Also, to add to this, I received my first Popits today (I will have to refer to them as "Dual System Forms"), I'm quite annoyed nobody had a broken nail today, but I must admit I managed to sneak one in My first popits was sculpted (no tip) and the results sent shivers down my spine and a grin from ear to ear from both me and a very shocked client (oddly enough I used Retention+ all day today), just for fun.

So stand by for a few new videos in the very near future.

Thanks for all you guys checking and appreciating out what I do.

Well done CARL.xxxxxx

 

[nailzoo]

Just for fun, have a quick peak guess

Also as a thanks for a received Birthday gift, that will end up giving to many, the wonderful Adele sent me a box of Popits (herein referred to as Dual Forms).

I opened the box and pondered at those odd looking objects as if they were from another planet, I've seen Geeg at work (on video) as well as others, I'm gonna give my slant to them very soon.

I'm impressed after doing just one !!! (I've only had them for 2 hours), my mind is already doing the Bolero with ideas.

The more ideas, the merrier, let me have a moment alone with my new children and I'm bound to add my own flavor to the pot!!!!

I can't believe I am praying for a broken nail !!!!

I know you must love doing the vids but still the time and effort that must go into doing them, uploading them etc, must be quite a feeling to see your hard work praised as it should be. xx

 

[littlegrohl]

It keeps me up way beyond my bedtime (and makes me drink many things way beyond my limits), yet the next day (through bleary eyes), I have an odd feeling of satisfaction, I have regretted a few videos, but I've also regretted a few clients, ......... rather than delete these, I prefer to keep them as a memento of reality.

I really wish my clients all had beautiful nails, beautiful nailbeds/plates, never came back with lift, never had gritty undersides, ...but ......, thats not what walks through the door.

What I would like to show is the "reality" of the salon, rather than the "fantasy".

I could show the "beauty/beautiful" side of things, but it isn't real, my clients cook, they marinate, they work, they bite, they pick, they loose nails, they break, they lift, ....... they all do, and thats "reality".

This is what I want to show, these real conditions that I want to show how to fix and deal with, as best I/we can, as less than perfect technicians, in less than perfect conditions, with less than perfect nails.

There is a whole world and perspective that is ignored and it's called "reality", it's about time it was addressed, because it's what most of us deal with on a day to day, hour to hour basis.

I'm over the whole product versus product crap that goes on, lets start with skills and assistance, make the best of what we know, or can do with what we are given, then make those product choices if our skills, advice or product adherence let us down.
