The Shellac fun & games continues. See precious blogs about The journey & Shellac.
Today Beauty Academy 114 surpassed themselves, with being disorganised, con artist and down right rude. I have had no reply to my emails or texts. After they have postponed my training session 4 times. I received a text saying that the session would be on Sunday 30th at 10 am. Even though I had no response I still went to the appointment. Why? To prove that I am justified in asking for my money back. What a shambles. All in the aid of CPD with Shellac coloured gel system. Have I got anything good to say about them
...
Don't ask; maybe I should refrain from comment. I will leave it till I am not traveling from an appointment that did not happen - again - without explanation.
This is a picture of the front door to Beauty Academy 114. I think that a picture says it all!!!

BEAUTY SALON RESOUCES
The salon suppliers [I can not bring myself to call them wholesalers] that are open on a Saturday usually have limited/obscure stock and charge £'s more for the inconvenience.

NEGATIVE ENERGY
The Olsen twins want you to pay £12 for sticks. They have developed a selection of bound herbs, usually consisting of sage and rosemary, which when burned are said to rid your house, or any area you've chosen, of negative energy.

SHELLAC NAILS
It feels like a long time since I mentioned the journey to Shellac. What I neglected to say was my appointment was postponed. It had been postponed from 7th to the 14th. After travelling there for 2 hours (early morning) I was then informed there were not enough people attending, so I was booked in for 17:30 on the same day. At 16:00 I received a text postponing my appointment for the Monday, which was - you guess it - yes... postponed!
I have been re booked for 30th. Bang slap in my church time. Is this a test? I ask myself. I have been amazingly patient. Keeping in mind this is not to get my nails done, but to be taught the properties, features and benefits and how to apply colour uv gel. Plus I paid for this course months ago.
Coloured gels are not new. I was at the Bonner Brothers show in Chicago in 1989 and brought back a selection of coloured gels.
Hence why I've been so patient. It's paid for and I'm curious. What could be the difference between now and then? Shellac is on everyone's lips. Is it a great advertising/marketing campaign or is there a reason to be excited? This semi permanent nail colouring technique has been around for decades.
Listen out for the feed back. After Sunday morning.

SKILLS LONDON 1
We're here and it's great! Its times like these when I realise I don't know much. So many college's - so many courses. Our college had 3 different stalls - catering & hospitality, construction and of course hair an beauty - with my nail girls are drawing a crowd. Lol I think I may be basis. The hair girls and media make-up were doing alright as well.
I popped over and watched a cocktail making demo by hospitality - they're also making fresh doughnuts hmmmm. Contruction were building a wall which the new brick layers signed - it's growing!!
All in all a great place to see what's available vocationally. If you were thinking about a career change or just want to know what's happening The skills London exhibition is where you should be.
The look on the faces of the 16yoa that visited the show - they were told - but until coming to this show they didn't realise how much is available. For some it may be information overload.
Parents were dazed
Students are amazed
Exhibitors are confident that their course is the one....
I personally think, a few visits would be the way to go.
Meanwhile our college won best exhibitor competition Yeheee!!
I am so proud our students from different courses really worked as a team...
SKILLS LONDON
Today we're at ExCel - Life Skills. The students will be the exhibitors. Talking to the public about why they choose their vocation. Demonstrating what they have learnt since September. Promoting the course that they are on. I'm looking forward to it.

THE MAKE UP ARTIST ACADEMY
The Make Up Artist Academy - master make-up class.
Lots of new techniques learnt. The simplicity of it could only be taught by an expert in the field. Amanda Green guided us through making up our eyes before concealers or foundation. For my skin tone I've been converted to MAC's ground works concealer. The blending techniques for the smokey eyes look will need practice :) but is worth the effort. MAC foundation C7 & Charles Fox (professional) derma colour D13 to camouflage my dark areas. We used a Bobby Brown foundation to contour because of the strength of the pigments in the product. We discussed Louise Youngs angled brush for eyebrows (LY31). Re-vita-lash for brows and finished the look with MAC'so Bat Black lipstick. The session was worth every minute...
I left with a voucher that entitles the holder to £100's worth of professional training. Ranging from a foundation through to Fashion, editorial and theatre make-up application classes. It's all good.

!?! LOL

RESTAURANT STORY
Restaurant story better known as Cafe World has a lot to answer for. We all need something to zone out with. My thing is games. It use to be board games, but now a days very few people want to visit and have a game of monopoly or chess. Even the computerised games have there time; then the enthusiasm fizzles out. For me once you've learnt a computerised game, the cheats and the statetgies - stick with it. Don't spread yourself thin get the one thing your doing right. Admittedly - 8 months and i've only just reached Level 64!!! lol
Yes I'm still doing cafe world lol!

NAIL ARTISTRY
The students are really in the middle of the arts modules. They are also doing nail artistry. Here's an example of the practice run by one of the learners.
BODY ART
To day the students got introduced to bodyl artistry. They were very interested and motivated. Even after my demonstration of paint application and cleansing. LOL my students love me.
They accepted this design without blinking...
