Nail Technician in Training
Hey guys!
So I ordered the dual sample kit from cjp the other day and it arrived this morning al naturally had to have a play around with it!
I had a go on my nail trainer hand but found it a bit weird so decided to put it onto myself and give it a proper test run.
This is the first time I've ever used a cover pink and a white. And the first time ever doing a baby boomer so I know they're not perfect but I'd love some feedback anyway! (Photos attached.)
I have some questions about the system and I'd love to hear what other nail geeks think, if it's good/bad or just plain wrong lol
So here goes!
From reading about it I know it's a dryer system so I did my best.
The first
Couple of beads with the cover pink were difficult, but I got there in the end, it self levelled, barely needed any faff at all BUT I struggled with the white!
I used the Snow White powder and no matter what, I found it really grainy and difficult to work with or I made it too wet and it just flowed all over the place.
Do you have a particular method when it comes to working white? I used the same method for the cover and it was fine but not the white.
I also contaminated my monomer badly - I couldn't seem to get the white off my brush. Is there a knack to this?
What do you think of the primer/bonder that comes with the system? Is it good?
I have used young nails protein bond which worked really well for my nails (notorious lifting!) so I wondered how the cjp one is...
I think that's about it for questions! I can't think of any more right now lol!
Sorry for the essay but I'm interested in seeing what everyone thinks!
Thanks so much!
