b) infill....................1.5 hours
c) rebalance.............45 mins

that is including prep / l & P / hand + arm massage.......

Can I just ask...how come it takes you twice as long to do an infill than a rebalance? Just curious as I would of thought it would be the other way round x

I was thinking that myself!!

I approx take 1 hour and 20 for a full sculpt, 1 hour 15 for infill and 1 hour 30 for rebalance.

Thanks for all your resonses, put my mind at ease I'm not too far off such high standard nail techs with my timing however I am a very firm believer in taking my time and producing fab nails rather than quickness!!! Hopefully with experience the two will balance out xxx
