believe me, I've been there!!

the handshaking is NOT a problem if they don't shake all the time.

sometimes I am on stage and a cam is airing everything I do and doing close up on my own hands/nails, and I often fear they'll start to shake.

if it happens, take a deep breath, lay your brush down or put it back to shape (even if you don't really need it, just stay off the nail for a little while), relax again, SMILE and start again. and always balance your working hand on the hand that hold the client's finger.

hth

it still scares me Hun
I'm very critical, it's a good thing, not bad my clients keep coming back because i give them that bit extra
when i started out on my own i was having trouble with lifting so you can imagine how thrilled i was when my first client, came back for infill's three weeks later and all the nails where intact OMG i couldn't believe it, so it does get easier
Up to this point i was very close too taking it off my treatment list i still have wobbles every now and then
