Hi,





I know what you mean!!





I went to the Nails and Beauty Academy to do my training. I went on a 5 day course called the Masters Diploma in Nail Technology - I learnt LOADS! I enrolled with a some friends and they gave us a 20% discount. There website address is: www.nailsandbeautyacademy.co.uk





I would seriously recommend them, the training is excellent and the teachers are so kind, informative and knowledgeable.





I hope this helps you a little bit, I just got lucky going with them but a few friends of mine spent a lot more than me elsewhere!





Good Luck

Distance learning nail courses - are they okay?

I have been looking at online nail courses are they a waste of money or a genuine recognised qualification to work in a salon?





ThanksDistance learning nail courses - are they okay?
Im not sure about working in a salon. But my friends mum did an online course over ebay and gained a certificate so now shes qualified to sell painted nails and do them on people.

My Boyfriend is a clean fellow, and of course, showers regularly. Is it normal to have yellow toe nails?

They arent digusting like the ones shown on T.V. for the fungus commercials, but is there still somthing i can do about it?My Boyfriend is a clean fellow, and of course, showers regularly. Is it normal to have yellow toe nails?
its normal, that means theres a fungal infedction but its very minor and very common, its underneath the nail so it cant spread, and if you really dont like it there are precription pills to take which will clear up nails in about 3 to 6 months, but they're purely cosmetic because the fungal infection does no harm whatsoever.My Boyfriend is a clean fellow, and of course, showers regularly.

hes probably has a nail deficiency
It is normal he probably does not eat right or it could be genetics. Tell him to drink milk.
jst b,coz he loves u
this is a disease of the onyx( nails) there are ways to treat it.. as i can't see what they look like.. he could have them bleached. but as stated earlier it is a keratin deficiancy. have him take vitaimins with keratin. this will help in the long run.. but as for this minute you can have them bleached or you can paint them for him.. to cover it but nail polish stains nails too. so. best luck would be the vitaimin
I don't think it is. It could still be fungus even if it doesn't look like what's on tv... he should see a doctor, if for no other reason than because it bothers you.
Oh My Gosh!


Ew!


Your BF is a NASTY PIG!
he has a vitamin deficiency
it's a fungus
My first thought is a fungus, but maybe nothing. Your boyfriend's nails could be perfectly normal. See a doctor to be sure.
only if he is related to big bird
He could have a toe fungus. The only way to find out is to see a doctor. There are topical medications as well as oral antibiotics such as sporonox to help treat it. It does not necessarily mean that a person has poor hygene, he could have picked up the fungus in a gym shower/locker room.
alot of the answers are on the right track,,,if they are a cloudy yellow /brown the it's porbably a fungas. If it


s a see thru light yellow then it's probably do to a need for more Calcium.
are his eyes a little yellow too? if so he could have jaundice which can mean some very serious things are wrong with him. he could have a disease like hepatitis and not know it, so i would check into that if it could be a possibility. and yes, if they are just yellow make sure he is getting sun light and oxygen to them by wearing sandles every now and then (yes, sunlight and oxygen do help), get him a pedicure, and go buy a fungus remover from the drug store, even if its not that bad it can still help.
Probably a fungus infection, just not as advanced as the deformed ones. Another possibility is that his socks dye his toenails. He should see a doctor, because the sooner he treats a fungus infection, the easier it is to get rid of.
does he smoke? fingernails, toenails, teeth usually tend to become yellow if you are a smoker.
umm if he keeps his toes cut really low then it will fade away other than that ur toe nail is a natural grown fungus...all those commercial medicines dont work he has to keep trimming them....sorry
he should see a podiatrist just to be safe
EWWW
It may be a fungal infection. Take him to a dermatologist who can prescribe anti fungal medication and then cream to soften the nail. It will then just grow out and normal nail will come through.
its normal but kinda gross.
uhm dose he wear socks all day?
It might be normal, or he could have some kind of infection. Here's some info:

lol my husband is the same and its wierd!!! he is clean too, but each toe nail is a different shade of yellow!!! gross!!
it's no big deal...if you don't like it paint his toe nails;)
He's got a fungus on his toe nail, tell him to get an antifungus medicine for feet.
Wanna know what you can do about it? Don't lick his toes, or sniff them, or shove your face in them. Seriously, it's not that hard to avoid feet, lol.





It's not abnormal.
my mom sent me a remidy for that.soak feet in listorine mouth wash.serioulsy it works dont know why but cleared mine up.
He prolly has a toe fungus...get him to go to the doctor.
Its normal.
Sounds like he has a fungus. If they aren't thick or misshapen, he hasn't had it for too long. If it is bothersome, have him check with a Doctor or Podiatrist. There are also over-the-counter meds you can use. I cheated, I soaked my feet in Listerine, killed it, but I had blue toenails til they grew out. LOL! Now they have the Citrus flavored stuff. It's orange! I would still have had yellow-orange toenails! Besides, I have found that guys have this ';If it's not broke, don't fix it'; thing going for them. Good luck in clearing things up!

  • I NEED A JOB!!!!!!!(But I need a training course for nails HELP IS WANTED!!! I NEED MONEY?

    Where can I go for a nails training course(Certificate II in Nail Technology) in the melbourne areaI NEED A JOB!!!!!!!(But I need a training course for nails HELP IS WANTED!!! I NEED MONEY?
    Okay well hopefully this helps you out..


    I did my course through correspondence, its cheaper and you can work as fast or as slow as you want, you can send in written or on-line essays/assignments.. You pay for your course in instalments each month and they even help you with 24hours tutor help.. I know that the correspondence school I went through has Nail Technology Certificates.. The best thing to do is look at them on-line or call them directly..


    They are called Thomson Education Direct and they are located in Victoria..Their certificates are all accredited so you can work in other states too.. Some courses offered by other schools aren't recognised in other states so being nationally accredited is a huge bonus, and they aren't overly expensive, paying by the month is easy on the hip pocket instead of having to fork out the full amount all at once..


    Hope I was able to help..


    Good Luck...I NEED A JOB!!!!!!!(But I need a training course for nails HELP IS WANTED!!! I NEED MONEY?
    Probably look at beauty schools in the area.

    I hava fake nails, and of course my real nails are growing, but how come they seem to be brittle underneath?..

    I thought the acrylic helped by keeping my nails healthier and strong. What can I do about it? I go every 2 weeks to get fill ins and clean my nails and all that....I hava fake nails, and of course my real nails are growing, but how come they seem to be brittle underneath?..
    Who told you that fake nails would be good for your real nails? The manicurist? Hmmmmmmm.........





    As a matter of fact, acrylics are not good for your real nails because they do not let your nails ';breathe.'; And when you get them taken off, layers of your real nail will end up coming off with it too because they have to scrape off the residue and your own nail will be injured in that process.





    You can get your own nails healthy with good nutrition and and a good quality multivitamin. If you have some problem, like ridges or spooning, then that indicates some deficiency that needs to be addressed!





    If you still insist on an artificial nail, try a silk wrap. It lets more air in to your nailbed.I hava fake nails, and of course my real nails are growing, but how come they seem to be brittle underneath?..
    I didn't find anything on the internet explaining why your nails might be brittle, but I did find this information which you should definitely be aware of.





    http://www.beautyweb.com/consumer_alert_鈥?/a>
    they're brittle because they're not ';breathing';. Believe me when you have acrylics you need to take a break from them every few weeks to let them get stronger
    Have them put on a nail hardner. I really think your nails are weak from the constant glueing an unglueing of the fake nails.
    Your nails are brittle due to the chemicals you put on them. Nail polish, nail polish remover, glue, etc. This stuff spreads to your nail matrix. Your diet might also play a role.





    It's funny to me that women commonly call men liars, but then they:





    - fake their nail length


    - cover themselves with makeup


    - wear high heels to fake being taller


    - wear push up bras to fake having bigger breats


    - wear girdles and ';control panties'; to fake being lighter or more shapely





    Amazing.





    If this is the best answer, please rate it as the best answer. Thanks!
    fake nails suck they make the real nails weak. take them off and let ur real nails breathe. then put some nail polish on it and believe me they will grow.
    your nails cannot breathe its a like everything it needs time off--as in no false nails. water can go under and fungas grows
    ask them to put a nail strengthener base on your nails next time you have a fill in
    I know lots of ladies that have that same problem. seems those chemicals on nails does major damage.... at least that is what it seems to me.

    I want to know if your college have course on beauty and nails?

    In Nova Scotia, the NSCC (Community College) offers a Cosmetology course, one beginners and one advanced. You only need a high school diploma for Nail Technology. It is a 20 week long program, including classroom and salon lab and a work experience. I am sure that any community college would offer similar programs in your area. But as the person above said, generally no 4 year college/university will offer such a program. A great idea would be to ask your nail artist (I guess that's what they'd be) where he/she got their certification and go along that route.I want to know if your college have course on beauty and nails?
    try to look in your local area for a technical college.....most 4 year colleges and universities dont have this program.....this is considered a technical skill.....also ask your own beautician or barber where they went to learn their trade and they may tell you and lead you in the right direction......good luckI want to know if your college have course on beauty and nails?
    There is a technical college in my area- Opelousas, LA that offers a cosmetology course. They cover beauty, nails, and even hand massages... But I don't think they have any online stuff if that's what you're really looking for...

    Has anyone done a course with essential nails before and can you tell me what its like ?

    I see from your screenname you are from Spain. I am not sure of what is currently the law there but here in the states you need a license to do nails not a certificate.


    Learning from home courses arent used here in the USA for this course when you need to take a written as well as a practical test in your state.





    I don't get how you will learn properly without feedback from a teacher for the application procedures in the various forms of doing nails. The course looks good but you need practice in person so you can get feedback what you are doing right and wrong with the various products you will be learning about. The book smarts about the in's and out's of products, sanitation, nail disorders etc maybe good but its not as good as learning in person.





    Its not as easy as it looks. Especially with the light cured UV gels and Acrylic nails and sculpturing with a form. Doing nails in general as especially in any artificial nail product requires allot of knowledge and allot of troubleshooting as clients nails can be rather tricky and you have to formulate an application that will fix a problem on a client.





    I know in various countries in Europe they require different things regarding your experience as well as training as well the practice of nails is different as what products they use and what services they provide. Good Luck though.
