Since i have joined this site, I have now sorted my insurance and also ordered alot of new products which has cost me quite abit. So not a any point do i want to be working cash in hand at all.
I am on this site to be getting advice, And tips so i there for can go self employed and to be doing my best for myself, And my clients too.
I completed my course in 2010 And have have a little experience in that time until now, But i have now come to a point that i have spent so much in the past it is a shame that i am not using them and my strongest talent of nails is nail art.
We all have to start somewhere...
And im sure the majority of people on this wele website is very passionate about there work they do, And i am of just the little work that iv done in the last 2 years.
I would also like to state that after reading Broops comment ( i then did edit my profile with correct answers).
And you are all entitled to your own opionions, Some might be positive, Some might be negative. But i personially think that the comment BROOPS made which was= ( Awkward.... Sorry hun but you dont sound like you have received any training so Im doubtful anyone will offer you any advice as this forum is for professional only ) Was out of order and the reason for this which i have stated is that, If it was a professional website... It wouldnt be active or running in the first place as we would be that good and professional we wouldnt need any help. And i have had quite a few replys with good ideas for me, hense the reason i have just got aload of new products which i cant wait to use and hopefully are perfect for me.
But yes i will admit geeg, It would be nice to know why such products are good. But im happy with just replys or what other products are good. iv not rushed into buying the products that i have brough, I reserched alot too.
AMEN!!!

Ok .. Leaving the discussion re broop's comment aside. This site is for professionals AND aspiring professionals IOW those who have had some education and want to further their knowledge and careers. You fit into that category as we now know but didnt before, so that is tickety boo. Let's accept by every other remark she made that broops was not trying to be unkind or elitist just protective as we all are. So let's move on.
I never ever give advice about a product unless I have tried it and USED it for some while so that I can comment about it with experience and a working knowledge. I always give the features and benefits of using a product and what it's unique selling points are (or even if it has none) and what's in it for you if you use it.
When reading answers, You have to consider the source, IOW who is posting and why. Many who give the silly answers like .. "I use xyz and it's good" may have no experience and wouldnt know a good product if it hit them in the face ...
. If its so good folks, then tell the poster why it's good and how they will benefit from using it!!OK. ... So what have you bought then?
hi, i'm in the same boat at the min as im having to change supplier for gel as they no longer ship to NI :sad: i've tried a few of the lower range gels and they really dont agree with me or should i say i just dont like them!
Think i might try CND any help finding a new supplier would be greatly appreciated!!
PS sorry im a newbie to the site and havent updated my profile properly but i've 5yrs experience dont want to cause any more controversy!

I can tell you everything in the world about Brisa gels from CND. In fact I have recently written several posts with all the F&B's of Brisa. If you care to search my posts and if you don't, then I'll write it all again because you should not miss the chance to use Brisa.
Which gel are you used to using?
Here are a few F&B'S. About Brisa
CND BRISA gels. ... Voted number one hard gel by nail technicians for more than 5 years running ... Think that just about says it all!:biggrin:
No heat
No need for primer
Hypoallergenic and
3 Free
NO buffing of the natural nail with a 100 grit file
NO buffing between layers of gel
NO faffing about ... Easy application and no gel running around the nail plate or form.
Very easy to apply
All unique selling points of BRISA.

This is exactly why I left this site years ago!! Can't believe this rudeness still happens. I decided to come back as I have just opened my own salon and would like to keep in the loop..
I like the Cuccio gel too.. So far no problems
you should buy a few samples most suppliers pass out free samples you should call round a few then you can see which one you prefer

Why do you think this is Rude? What exactly is rude? First ... The poster acknowledges that the situation is awkward (as she does not know the persons experience because the poster did not fill in her profile). Then she tells the poster nicely, that as she hasn't filed in her profile and it looks like she has had no training, she may not get answers.This is exactly why I left this site years ago!!

I fail completely to see what was rude about that? It is like you are deliberately looking for trouble .. please don't because none was intended.

There was more than myself posted about this! I was only stating what I took from it.. And I did find it rude sorry if this offends you but I was not directing at anyone else other than the person involved.
People should be offering advise professional or non professional everyone has to start somewhere.

If it was only directed at one person then as they say "take it to a pm"! The issue was dealt with and the op accepted this and also was grateful for the advice she received!

I am asking WHY you think it was rude? What exactly was rude. You haven't answered. I explained what was meant ...why was it rude? What was rude? Please just show me tell me what was rude? I'm quite willing to be persuaded if in fact you can explain exactly what was said that was unacceptable and rude?

Well Geeg I know you want an answer...but the simple truth is it wasn't rude!
Is there something in the water because over the last couple of days people seem to be offended by the slightest of things, in fact it's not really the original posters that are getting upset, but people being upset on their behalf and creating a situation out of nothing.
Like my old gran used to say....they would cause a fight in an empty house!!
Technically though the thread question still has not really been answered as Geeg has quite rightly pointed out no one has actually said WHY they like their particular hard/thick gels!
To try and give the OP a better of idea on what to look for here is an article that may help http://www.salongeek.com/general-articles/35483-choosing-correct-gel.html
As far as this being a site for professionals and aspiring professionals...of course it is!!
I have over 13 years experience in this Industry and I still have things to learn, being a professional does not mean you know it all, quite the reverse, we should all still be striving to improve and share our knowledge.
To save any more discussion of alleged rudeness rather than gel I am closing this thread.
