What do you think 🤔 

French forever trendy ❤

Tips extensions - is this method of extending old school and no longer needed 🤔

 Nail tips ? Yes or no ? 

Is using tips making us less of a professional Nail Technician? 

Is using stickers or stamping making us less of the nail artis? 

Does it matter that if I struggle with something, I replace it with something I am good at to achieve best results? 

Or if I am still practising sculpting, if  I use tips instead, as I found it easier and less stressful to work with, am I less of a nail technician? 

Once I've been told that the only proper way of extending nails is by using forms ?

But is it really the truth? 

I follow so many amazing nail technicians, who has hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram, and they work with tips only😀

I follow amazing nail artists who can use stickers, decals, stamping etc and they create amazing looking nails with it.

And of course I follow people who can sculpte the most amazing nails  which I love and admire.

As fully qualified Technician shouldn't we know both ways and choose accordingly to the results we want to achieve? 

My belief is that, as a nail technician, I want to give my clients the best looking, long lasting, complimenting their hands - nails :) done in a safe and healthy way. 

Isn't that what it is all about ? 

Yes, sculpting is considered as higher level of skills as we need to now how to control products and fit form correctly at the same time,gives us more possibilities to achieve the most extravagant shapes, whereas tips are mainly preshaped, and we need to have few options to make sure we have the right tip  which will fit natural nail perfectly … however, working with tips is quite technical too,from choosing correct one , to preparation and blending it etc 

If we understand the method of extending, we can achieve great results even if we use tips , which yes, in fact they are ready made  and pre-shaped, and yes, maybe it does feel sometimes like cheating 😅 but if this  will make our live easier, then why not ? 

Open for discussion ❤

P.s Photos show my birthday nails - done by me on myself 😁 using tips and acryl gel 🤪

Absolute International Crystal Nails Master Educator

As promised before I would like to introduce myself again and tell you my story !

My name is Karolina Tryc, I am 35 years old, I am married with 2 children (daughter 14, son 10) and I've been working as a nail technician since 2007.
My whole adventure with nails started quite randomly, as I never thought I will be doing nails, I thought I will be accountant or working in the office, but my life went in to different direction.
When I was 20 years old I left my home country, originally I come from Poland and came to live in London. Beginning wasn't easy especially that I become a mum soon after my arrival to UK.
For about 2 years I stayed at home being mum but I was so desperate to work that I was looking for solutions on how I can financially contribute and help out my husband. I was cleaning for people, ironing etc, one of my clients who I helped with cleaning, looked once at my natural, painted by me :) nails and said: Karolina it seems you have natural talent for nail art, people would pay you to have nails done like yours! And with that one sentence, the idea was born! From that moment I was searching and reading other nail technicians blogs, how they started working from home and it seems to be ideal for me as I could work around my family, my daughter was only 2 years old at that time. I've applied for my first beginner training and I started :)
 I've set up this blog as I wanted to share with people pictures of my work and my passion for nails. At the beginning, it was very helpful with gaining new clients as I started working from home so there was no chance for passing trade.

And this is how it started for me. Since then I did so many training's that I lost count. It took me 6 years to work from home before I moved to my salon. During that time I developed passion for educating, first clients - about how nails should look like when are done properly - then educating future nail technicians. Teaching became my passion! I followed my favorite nail technicians and I wanted to be like them! My nail idols were working for company called Crystal Nails, so when I found out that they are coming to UK I couldn't miss my chance to be trained by them and to join CN team.  Krisztina Ujvari, Barbara Ujvari, Gabriella Kovacs, Sebestyne Agnes, Zsuzanna Fekete, those were and still are just few names who I'm inspired to be alike.
Since 2010 I've been around Crystal Nails, In 2014 I became officially educator and in 2017 I've achieved the highest score again and again, I become Crystal Nails Absolute Master Educator in Gel, Acrylic, Crystalac and Art category, it means I can represent and teach for CN not just in the UK but also internationally. I am very proud of this title and I still keep pushing myself to be better and better! In a mean time, I went to college to get proper qualification, I did teaching course as well as PTLLs  in 2014.  Thanks to that I could travel and teach people from different parts of UK and even world. My biggest adventure so far was going all the way to South America - Chile and teach for CN over there. One of my biggest achievements as I had to overcome my fear of flying!
My journey didn't stop at just doing nails or teaching, I wanted to push myself even further and developed my confidence so I've been taking parts in nail competitions, with success :) I become TOP Tech UK twice in 2015 and 2016, after competing for 2 years I took a break, and now I am planing to start again.
And of course, I wouldn't be myself if I didn't want to do more! While I was pregnant with my son, I decided to set up online shop, so I could have something to do while on maternity leave, and that is how I created www.beautifulnailsshop.co.uk As my passion doesn't stop just at doing nails and teaching, but I genuinely love Crystal Nails brand! 
So if you follow me, now you know a bit of my story! Even though I would like to teach more, I still love doing nails and be around my clients, as I am very lucky to say I have wonderful clients, and it is thanks to them that I am where I am now.
I should add that I am no longer work by myself in my salon, I have a hairdresser Bartek Kaczmarek - who has been with me over 3 years now, and he is not just work colleague but also a friend. I had few beauticians as well, but now my spare  room is free again, so I am looking to rent it out. If you are interested and you are near me 320a Stafford Road, CR0 4NH, you can contact me :)
 I think my story can give a hope to all working mummies, nail technicians with dreams that they all can be successful. It does take time, determination and sacrifice, but everything is possible!
I am working now towards teaching more! 
It all takes time, as I am still a mum, most things around salon, sale, advertising, teaching nails I am doing by myself, but with my own pace I will get there, wherever it is :)

I hope you Enjoyed reading my story, If you need and advice, or If you would like to know more about my experience, feel free to ask in comments.

Crystal Nails International Educator training

Hello Everyone,

This blog is 8 years old and I meant to introduce myself again to remind everyone who I am, where I am and what I do, but there is always something going on and I never have time to do so. Even now I sat down to reflect on more current events.

Recently I took part in Crystal Nails educator training in Budapest. This course prepare nail technician to become educators. As I am already educator since 2014 you might wonder why I did it again? My answer would be that you never know enough, even if I go through the same techniques, I always pick up something new, new tips about products, new skills, new ways of teaching nails or art etc.
As educator it is very important to remind yourself all your knowledge and keep it up to date, keep practicing too.  Plus we are all part of something bigger, there is big Crystal Nails family which I am part of. Crystal nails is not just brand or products, behind it are amazing educators and people, without who this would not be possible. People who are my idols and I inspire to be as good as them, that is why I love going to those training's.

During 5 days we learnt Russian manicure, perfect gel polish application, reverse tips thought by Edina Sikari, different salon shapes like Gothic almond, modern salon almond, pipe, square thought by Zsuzsanna Fekete and Alexandra Mehesz using different products like acrylics, hard gel, fusion gel etc and of course all amazing nail art techniques, gel painting, one stroke painting, 3D gel thought by Alexandra Mehesz and Agnes Sebestyen. Those educators are Elite and the top people to learn from :)
Participants who achieve 70% from everything are invited to participate in educator training again in April for free! That is their chance to be part of Crystal Nails international team :)

So you can all see it is all amazing to have that 5 days to sit down and practice! and you do that with your amazing friends from Crystal Nails Uk team! It is the best way to bond and to make more memories :) I should say thank you to boss of CN UK for this opportunity Annamaria Farkas, and my Crystal Nails family, my friends - Karina Perematko, Amanda Hawtree - Taft, Kara Evans, Tihana Besevic, Amalia Roiu, Patricia Szukits, Reka Kovacs for another great trip together!
I can't wait now to share all my knowledge with students and to use my new skills on clients!

Some of many pictures I took during my trip!

I hope you enjoyed reading about my little adventure in Budapest, as always you are all welcome to join me on my next courses! and if you need any Crystal Nails products please check out my online shop www.beautifulnailsshop.co.uk
