Hi guys,

I've used the OPI nail envy polish treatments and I really think that they are great, they're also a fantastic retail seller. I haven't tried their manicure products though.
Creative are bringing out a whole new treatment line but I'm not sure of all the details. I use their manicure products and they are fantastic! Nothing beats their cuticle remover or the solar range. I can't wait for the new products, they're sure to be ahead of all the rest, they always are.
I would go with Creative Kimmi, their product range is massive, their products are top quality, most of the public recognise the name and the packaging always looks so classy.
So I don't rate creative then LOL x

Yeah, as I'm Creative trained, they would be my first choice but I like to know what's going on and keep up with what's new.

Hi Kimmi! If you go to www.creativenaildesign.com and register yourself, then go to the products or the promotions for June bit then there is lots of info about the new products fro Creative!! They look fabulous (as you would expect!), can't wait til they get launched in the UK!!!

I've tried Nailtiques and OPI Nail Envy.
The Ntqs range is good, but I think too expensive for the people of Fareham - also it peels really badly, and as a picker I then just pick it off!
The Nail Envy is good, it really works. I got the girls in the hair salon to test the peeling nails one as their nails peel terribly as their hands are in water so much, it worked a treat. Only trouble is that your clients can get it themselves from Sally's, so maybe you would want to undercut the retail price by a pound to make them get it from you - but I think this devalues the whole range!

I'd be interested to see other peoples experiences. Has anyone tried the NNC range by LCN?
 
I use the Cesars secrets range..........................

My favourite is the Harder,Longer, Stronger which is quite expensive but worth it because if you client uses it as you recommend it really does work i have had great results:D
Also the anti bacterial hand creams smell delishi

Ooh er missus, don't you just love a cheeky name!! Could you pm me to let me know the costs - retail and trade.
 
Hi Kimmi,

I love the Creative range but, if I were to try another make, I would probably go for Jessica. It is a product range which also seems to very reputable. Perhaps some of the other geeks will be able to share their experience of Jessica products.

When I first started out in nails I wanted to be just Natural Nails and no Enhancements - I trained at college in Man/ped and then went and did the Jessica training at Borehamwood.

I did like the products and the idea that you treat the nails as the hair and skin - dry, brittle, etc. There are just so many different ones now though - I could not keep up. My clients also would not buy the home care.

I have had much more success with Toughen Up than I did with the Jessica products.

The down side to them is the polish takes forever to dry.......hours. Although I did like the treatments for the different nail types.
 
Have to say kimmi I specialize in natural nails and love th OPI nail envy but it can be bought by the public from wholesalers so cuts into your retail profit.

I tend to use the creative range and am waiting for the rest of the 411 treatments so i can add to my range and cover all eventualities.
Good luck shopping hun
