Silk wraps......bear with me!!

[Foxglove]

I am still very new to nails, so treat me gently .

I qualified in Manicure & Pedicure a few months ago, and am loving it! I really get a kick out of the fact that my clients comment on the improvement in condition of their nails, even after a couple of manicures - so rewarding!

I would now really like to offer silk wraps, so am currently looking into a training course. I had some put on my nails, just to try them out and was really impressed by the natural look (altghough they were a little pitted) and the stregnth they gave.

Could anybody recommend a good system to use and a good training centre? I dont just want to plough ahead without reccommedation......

Goodness - that turned into a bit of an essay didnt it !!

Thak you all:hug:

Designer Nails Fabric#... excellent wrap system, available via Hyperion (cnd).
Fabric# has 3 different viscosity resins and allows you to build a fab apex, have a look at Gigi's tutorial.

Does anyone know if it is possible to train just in silk wraps?

you're welcome...

do you mean being trained just in fibreglass/silk? if so, then yes you can

Hiya....yes, training in just fabric/slik wraps only. Do you know where I can do this? I have just spoken to the Creative people, and they said I need to do the 5 day foundation course......

I love working with natural nails and at the moment I am still building my new business so I really dont think I have the time to train in gels at the same time as silk! I know I will really need to spend loads of time practising, so dont want to bite off more than I can chew. I really need to be realistic.

ValencianNails, do you happen to know the name of a company I can train with?

I also think I will find it easier to 'sell' silk nails to my clients too.

you've already spoken to them :wink2:

The Creative Nail Academy advisors would have given you all of the relevant information.
Good Luck with whatever you decide... I personally don't think you can go far wrong, they have award winning education and are a fantastic support after you've finished your initial training
Are they sending you out details of the courses available (their folio)?
if not then have a look on their website.

Oh, I SEE :o I got hold of the wrong end of the stick! I thought that the 5 days was for gel AND silk nails!!

They are sending me through some information, so I shall sit and read it properly. Thank you for your help
