Readers’ Best and Worst of ’99 –

Jan Green, Somercotes, Derbyshire.

My best of ’99 has to be NSI Line Out.  It really does make fill-ins a lot quicker.  Also NSI Elation tips, once on the nails they almost become totally invisible making blending a doddle.  They’re the first pre-cut well tips that I’ve come across that actually fit any width nail.  Lastly, Star Nails new VF 21 Lyte range.  A great acrylic product that I’ve found does not lift, crack or pit – brilliant. 

My worst of ’99 would have to be being told that I cannot purchase Backscratchers range without training with them, even though I am totally qualified.  You’ll find this is a common occurrence amongst many product suppliers.  Most of them do a starter or tester kit so you can try before you train with them, it’s often worth ringing to ask.  Find out if they do a ‘conversion’ course where full company training is often not required for qualified techs.  melle
