    Disclaimers

    Hi ForYou, Disclaimers are a tricky subject, there are a number of different issues with them. Have you spoken with your insurance company to gain their perspective on disclaimers and also about customers not being patch tested for treatments. Personally, I wouldn't offer this type of treatment...

    Speeding up acrylic

    If you want to practice but are struggling to find models or clients then why not buy a nail training hand? Practice is what will bring your time down. I don't think 2.5 hours is bad after having only be doing nail extensions for 4 months. Em

    Training with Sallys - any good?

    Thank you for the advice. I think the 5/6 treatments with a % off is a very good idea.

    Will I ever get quicker?

    It takes time, as others have said be more concerned initially with the quality and then work on the time. Try breaking the areas down i.e. PREP, tips/sculptures, application of L&P etc. Time yourself and then set your self goals. Keep calm and keep going :)

    Do you fit form and build one free edge at a time, or fit all and build all?

    I fit forms on four finger of one hand and complete these nails up until the final filing stage and the repeat on the second hand, I then finish by doing the same on the thumbs, then file and buff to a shine or put top coat/nail art on! HTH :)

    First ever stiletto nail

    This is a brilliant first attempt. I think the length and colours are great.

    Set of French tip extensions with gel

    I think they look good, they will improve as you continue to practice at college. Glad your client is happy with them are you? Next time it would be beneficial to have a few more pics from different angles so geeks can comment further.

    First attempt at 'avant garde'

    I think they are absolutely brilliant, imaginative and original. Unfortunately not everyone can like your work (sad that you got that reaction from you tutor though as they should be encouraging your creativity) but as long as you and your clients love it thats what matters :)
