Don’t forget your nails
Your nails are always on display and a set of perfectly groomed nails, for men and women, is one of the most coveted beauty features; yet it's frustratingly difficult to get and maintain.

Many of us do not get the time to go for a manicure so get into a routine every week -- and it takes about 10 minutes, from start to finish!

Step 1: Use cuticle oil across the base of the nail, this will condition your cuticle and nail and also soften the cuticle so it's easier to push back.

Step 2:
File nails. Choose a shape you like, either square or oval. Manicure experts say that your nail tip's shape should mirror the curve of your cuticle. File nails in one direction only and avoid filing into the sides of your nails, which will make them weak and prone to breaking.

Step 3: Push back cuticles. By now the cuticle oil you applied will have softened your cuticles, which makes them ready to be pushed back. Gently place the wooden stick flat against your nail and gently push toward your finger.

Step 4: Buff away. For men and for those women who don't have the time or patience for nail polish, buffing is perfect. Use the roughest side of the buffer across each nail as this smoothes away ridges and discoloration. Then rub
the smooth side over each nail until it shines. Always use a hand cream as this will help to protect the hands and your nails.

Exciting changes to your online
e-Portfolio!


Talent Management® is changing!

Being a registered model with Models Direct® gives you exclusive access to Talent Management® and an online e-Portfolio.

What is Talent Management®?
Talent Management's ® mission is to enhance opportunities for business and individuals in the global promotion, hiring and reward of talent in the film, TV, modelling, advertising, music, acting, and entertainment industries.

What can Talent Management® do for me?
Your pictures and details will be available to every hirer searching for talent who is registered with Talent Management®. You will automatically appear on searches worldwide - even while you sleep!

Talent Management® is part of the first network of licensed agencies working together - specifically to promote talent like you. This means that compared to being registered with an ordinary talent agency local to you - you are instead now featuring in a central Talent Management® database accessed by an ever growing number of Talent Management® agents who will consider you for bookings in their area.

Talent Management® agents work together for the benefit of talent and hirers and talentmanagement.com is the online administrative centre and talent registration source.

The features and benefits of this site are changing for Models Direct® models.

You can now put two photographs on your eportfolio
for FREE. Other applicants to Talent Management® have to pay £45 per year to upgrade to this feature - with Models Direct® models it is FREE.

Complete your e-Portfolio as normal (selecting the 'On Stage' listing) - a guide is available should you need it - and then click on 'ADD MY PHOTOS' button on your homepage. Follow the instructions on the site to upload your photos. Potential hirers use Talent Management® daily to search for models so remember to put the best quality images on your profile.

Tips for good photos
Take them outside in good daylight
Wear comfortable, neutral coloured clothing
Clear the background so it's just you in the picture
Clients like smiley shots - relax, look happy
Phone camera pictures are not acceptable
