Hello, my name is Laura Bliss. I've been a nail technician now for the past 12 years. I'm currently teaching at the London College of Beauty Therapy on the nail courses there.

So to prepare your work station for nail extensions, make sure that you've got a nice chair with back support for yourself. Make sure that your work station is clean, cleaned with surgical spirit. You've got a hand rest for your client and also for yourself.

Make sure that it's not over the extractor fan because you'll need that to suck in the fumes. You'll need tissues, a range of brushes for either acrylic or gel. You'll need nail polish remover and cotton roll.

A range of buffers, a barber side jar to hold your cuticle implements in it. Cuticle remover to remove the cuticle from the nail plate. You need sanitizer to sanitize yours and your clients hand.

Nail polish remover and cotton roll. You'll also need a bin with a lid to take away any of the smells from the nail polish remover. .
