Well Kalchis,

your right we all have to start somewhere! Regarding your first client all you need to do is at least show that you are confident in what your doing. Even if you become a little flustered. The thing is, is that your client has got faith in you so you should have faith in yourself.

If you do make any mistakes try not to react to it and put it right, the chances are that even if you do make a mistake the client may not even notice.(unless she is a Nail Tech herself!) This gives you chance to put thing right.

Lets face it you know you can do it.
Show that you're confident and your client will have confidence in you!
Once that happens you'll feel so much better about things.
Believe me I've been there too and so has every nail tech.
Go for it!!!!!
Hope this helps.
Jules:biggrin:

haha thanks rachel, i ws just going through my case trying to have a few few everything and after a tip from lisa i have attached a prima pen to my acrylic brush and my gel brush with elastic bands.
everyone has commented on my nails so i think what i need to do in future is have 3 glasses of wine before each set and always do them by candle light,
i hope the set on my client go ok os im keeping my fingers crossed..................................
