I love your nails! I always prefer to do light colors than dark colors.

Gabriella: Are they acrylic with a tip?

Yes i used tips,gel but its not acrylic ect.. and Crystaline Powder That how they said it in french dont know if its the same in english :S and then after Polishing everything i used a Normal Nail color on it but that one for some reason is reaally silky to say that its really shinny finish not even a top coat on the photo actually didnt wanted to have french nail tips or use my colored powder dont have enough time 4 that

Mine are decorated blue tips with a white flower with acrylic. I cut the tips down so there's no flower.

 
For those of you who have taken nail courses - did you find them beneficial?

I am looking at doing an evening course once per week for 20 weeks

I'm going to do the course and become fully accredited and then start my own thing. I love the fact that theres always a demand for nails because they grow so quickly so ppl always need them done again and again.... hehe
I'm then hoping to complete makeup training and then move on to hair so for weddings and things i could offer a whole package and be fully qualified

im excited!!

It's becoming more and more competitive in the nail industry, especially in Australia. Nail bars are popping up on every street corner. They're convenient, cheap and take a lot less time than it would if you went and saw a regular nail technician. These places cut costs by cutting corner, using white tips or spraying on the white instead of using white acrylic amongst other techniques.

It take a good hour or so to do a full set of acrylics properly. It's a very fiddly, labour instensive treatment. It's nail techs like myself that lose out on clients because they'd rather pay less to get their nails done at a nail bar, and at the end of the day, they may have saved themselves some $$$ but they're going to end up with poor quality nails.

I really do suggest, rather than working from home, hire out a table in a beauty salon, you will get far more revenue that way than you will working at home, and a lot of the time, if you rent out a table, they will have pre existing clients too.
