When working with Pink and white powder to create a beautiful set of French enhancements it does create a challenge for the nail technician to keep them looking like a new set, month after...

hi, i am still training at the momement, are you talking gel or acrylic tip? i am putting french white tip on a friend on sat and i am a bit confused with your comments regardin filling the smile line?

I think she is referring to a sculptured set...Although I have been known to be wrong

When you use clear acrylic at Zone 3 my question is you said bring Zone 3 over Zone 2 enough to create a smooth balance but don't you start at the cuticle and just bring the acrylic over the whole nail?

Thanks

sometimes i try to steer clear of the permanent french..................

especially gel!!!!! to me its a nightmare, especially with clients that fidgit!!! the gel is on the slide and the french has slid on the hand.........
i panick , get hot, get like i am going to have a heart attack, and wish i never offered it. IT NEVER LOOKS LIKE A SMILE LINE, MORE LIKE A WHITE STRAIGHT TIP!!!!!!!!!
am i the only one thats a a total barry!!!

then theres the acrylic permanent french, i can never perfect them nice crisp clean SMILE LINES.....................

the new set of french doesnt look as bad as trying to do the rebalance......

some time i tend to offer natural looking nails, without the fake french look, and tdo them nice and then and compliment the shape of the nail/hand!!!!

if they ring for a permanent french, i tend to talk them out of it or am fully booked................

HELP

says powder, so i guess she is talking about acrylic french rebalance..............my nightmare!!!!!!!!!

i guess if you are putting on white/french tips, then that is a safe bet!!!! i'd do the same.
if you are then using gel or acrylic, clear, or a hint of pink then that will be fine..............
the refills will be ok the first time, but then when it comes to the rebalance of the french, ie. putting the smile line back in place, then its a nightmare, you have to start playing around with white acrylic or gel,
well it is for me..................................

why don't you book a 1-2-1 with your trainer Andromena and/or a skill building class?
it would help to sort out the areas you're having problems with.

Explanation was great but after you finish the smile line and pink fill what do you finish the whole nail with to make it shine. Do you use some type of shine sealer or cover the whole nail with clear acrylic? I'm sure you can tell I haven't done alot of P&W. I've got to keep practicing because I have a client next week to do so thank you for you help.

How simple & easy you make these tutorials..........very helpful, I wish you could come to Australia!!

Right, got my first p & w rebalance tmw for new client, have explained there might be a colour difference, she said that was OK. Very nervous, but very grateful to you Gigi for this tutorial. I am putting your words into practice tmw. Wish me luck!

p&W???

P+W = pink and white, ie white tip and pink nailbed.

BRILLIANT - We are 5 months in and still have not bloody covered L&P P&W Rebalance.... I will try this on my own set in a week or so, it seems so much easyer than what we have been told (yet not shown!) to do.
