Confused Getting started - 09-07-08, 07:14 PM

Hi there. I have recently passed my acrylic nail course and like most people starting out i still think that my work is not good enough. So much so that i have not advertised yet. I have had a few clients and they have been satisfied by my work. Did anyone else feel like this when they started out?

We have all felt like this hun but we all need to practise in order to improve so we have to just go for it and do as many sets as we can find willing clients for

Hi Jakki,

Please dont get disheartened I felt exactly the same as you but remember it takes time and practice to produce excellent nails. I finished my course with Creative recently and decided the best thing to do was practice practice practice for a couple of months on myself and anyone willing. I hope to advertise in September, least then I will be confident that I am giving my clients the best I can give. Would rather be patient and have people recommend me than rush into things.

Good luck hun. xx
