Be Creative is the
brainchild of Sam Biddle and Rebecca Orme. In 2011 Sam’s Be Inspired product
range was growing at such a fast rate. Sam’s first love was educating and she
needed a little help. Over a nightcap one night Sam Biddle and Rebecca Orme
(who she had worked with for a long time) began formulating a plan. Three
Months later they launched Jealous Cow Ltd –Parent company of the Be Creative
Range. Sam could continue to develop exciting new products and educate
worldwide. Rebecca would look after the worldwide Distributors and Educators,
and much more...
Be Creative has now grown. With distributors and educators in Australia, USA,
Ireland, Asia and a strong team of 15 in the UK.
We are very proud of our UK educators. Each one of them has bought a unique
personality to the team. Over the coming months we would like give you a little
insight into exciting working life of each educator, their classes and their
favourite Be Creative Product.

Be Creative Artisan:
We have an elite group of artisan educators in each
corner of the land, ready to spread the Be Creative wisdom and teach you all of
Sam’s secrets to creating that salon nail to help your business rise above the
competition. Each month we will be highlighting an artisan in your area and
they will bring you their own top tips, ideas on marketing, steps and much
more.
I would like to introduce myself, Cheryl Ogden Be Creative Artisan for
Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. I am also the editor of this site, so I will be
spreading the love of Be Creative.
I’ve been in the Nail Industry now for 18 years now,
educating for 7 years. I fell in love with Be Creative in its infancy. I’ve
been very lucky to work with both Sam and Rebecca for a many years now. They
are both very inspiring and it’s been great to work so close to them both.
If I say I love these
products it would be an understatement. I’m not even sure I would be able to
tell you which product I like the best, they are all great. I started working
with the Gel Paints first WOW I love them, you can do so much with them. They
are extremely easy to use and very forgiving. Colours blend easily; you can
keep blending them till you achieve the desired effect you want. You can
correct your mistakes simply using your detail brush and a little gel cleanser;
just brush your mistake away. Once you like what you have achieved pop your
hand under the lamp.
This Pegasus design was created using the Gel Paints.
Cheryl’s Top tips:
Be Creative Pigments: These Pigments are very
versatile you can use them in Acrylic, Gel and Water; you only need a little
bit. Each colour can be mixed to make further colours. Take a look at this step
by step I created. To see further step by steps I created check out my Facebook

A Be Creative class is not
brand lead. We do not give any advice or comment on any brand or range you
choose to use.
The class will concentrate
on working with the unique and innovative Be Creative range which supports the
brand you know and love; you can bring along you own acrylics and gel.
