    Paraffin wax treatments/how long/how many sessions...?

    My first critique

    I agree with tracey louise...there is abit too much free edge, and they are a tad too wide for my liking. A custom blend, would have given these nails a much nicer finish in my opinion. Thanks for sharing and keep posting! x x

If you were to spray first, then do their nails, the client wouldnt be able to wash their hands, as the spray tan would wash...

    How do you do your custom blends?

    Hi geeks, How do you prefer to do your custom blends, and why? Do you like to use tips with the reverse method or sculpt when custom blending? Do you think there is a difference in the final product between the two methods? Love to hear your thoughts! :)

    Glitters
