congratulations, thats really good news.
I personally dont know anything about airbrushed nails but if I was thinking about buying one I would love to know what equipment was needed and how to use it before I buy

I think you should do it like a work-up.

Start with equipment and technique then every week do a design but going a bit more complicated everytime.

Week one could be base coats, week two layering, week three easy designs, week four harder design and so on until the last issue is a spectacular set of fantastic nails.

Vicki's suggestion is good - starting off with easy designs and progressing to the more difficult.

A common question re airbrushing is finding an effective top coat and whether or not it is necessary to use the clear varnish.

Well done and good luck!
