The Forever French Rebalance



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...

Thanks so much !!!!!!! It all makes sense now. So simple and yet so easy to get so wrong.

It DOES make sense as in not to file and file too much product,and in the APPLICATION of the right ratio and beads....but it still looks daunting to me,and i can see why some,like myself would need some one to one tuition on this.Having said that,it only makes me more eager to learn it rather than"cheat" and soak off and start again!

Hi Gigi,

I received my nailclass book as instructed to buy and have read it cover to cover...about 3 times lol! However i am a little confused about the french rebalance. You say to shorten and thin the free edge to ther thinness it was originally and leave it. then to thin out where you want to make the new smile line. When i imagone this i see a dip in the middle of the nail, is this correct??
When i trained we never really covered rebalance at all so i've been trying to train myself but find that i spend forever trying to take as much product off the nail as possible before adding more. No matter how much i file the nails always look too bulbous

Another thing that frustrates me is that when i look bown the barrel of the nail after a rebalance you can clearly see the layers of product.

Help!!

hi ,have you got any pics to go along wae the tutorial ? and what what size of grit siz file would i use to file out the french white ,i did one last night and it went pear shaped ,im going back tonight to TRY and correct it

I am dreading doing my first pink and white rebalance, but Im sure this tutorial will help sooo much. Can I just ask, with a rebalance, after applying the new smile, do you have to replace zone 2 completly? or just the area behind the new smile? if so how do you avoid a ridge in zone 2? Many Thanks, any advice very very welcome!

Doing my very first rebalance on a client tomrrow and have been panicing a bit but reading through this has calmed me thanks x

you have no idea how much easier you just made my life...i was taught to file down all the white to the natural nail/tip...and i took 2 separate courses...lol...someone wasnt telling me something
thank you sooooo much

Great tutorial!

I know now where i was going wrong!

Thank you!

Ok... I have read this a million times lol, but I think my eyes were looking but my brain wasn't regestering
However, I have just READ it and bits of it out loud and it all makes PERFECT sense !!!
Whenever I do a rebalance, I take about 3 hours.... I file away pretty much all of the white from the previous time.... then thin out and remove lift if there is any....
Then I replace the whole of the white and then the whole of the pink ...
then have to file loads, as like you say Geeg I always end up with a big bulky zone 2 !

I have just phoned my mate who's nails I did a few weeks ago to check she still has them on and she does and they have grown out loads...
So she is coming over tomorrow for me to practice the correct method,
She had white tips but It wil do for practice xx

I did my 1st frenxh last week then suddenly thought arghh i'll have to rebalance it in 2 weeks, im petrified to be honest but after reading gigi step by step i hope i can do it. As they say practice makes perfect!! good luck fellow geeks on this sure we'll all be a dab hand one day!x

hi, do you think it is advisable to use a drill when rebalancing or finishing off a new set, and i was taught to bevall with a file to thin down free edge what advise could you give re this as do not want to make the white cloudy???xx
