Have you finished your training course yet?

Nobody failed but it definitely isn’t great. I contacted them but they want £108 for 2 hours one to one tuition. I thought it’s a bit expensive after the course was already £550.It’s normal for the application not to be great straight away but it shouldn’t be that bad as you would have had to pass an assessment on your course.
Could you go back to your educator to ask for further help?
Thanks for your reply!! I’ll have a look at the YouTube videoI remember in training we were told to use a three bead method and but I think I started out with ten![emoji23]
Don't be disheartened. Try out different ways to apply it and find what works for you. Also adjust your room temperature to see if that helps. A cooler environment allows for more time to work your beads.
You could look up Young Nails 'Pro teaches beginner' on YouTube for some really helpful information. I watched it recently and wished my college training had been that good.
Finally try a few testers of different acrylic brands as you will see they are quite different and one in particular might be easier for you. I would say though, don't t try Halo acrylic unless you are in a cool room otherwise it sets rapidly!
Hi, thanks for reply. I use nsi attraction it’s always lumpy but I do think it’s down to me, not the product
I work from home, but it’s duffic getting people to practice on, as I’m not wanting people walking away with shoddy nails.
I pick up the bead and then it’s a hit and a miss, sometimes a bit dry !! After I apply to the nail I wipe my brush so is not too wet. Sometimes my head is ok, my difficulty is trying to get it smooth on the nail
My trainer wants £108 for a 2 hour lesson, it may be worth it but not sure if a 2 hour lesson would be worth itGet a practise hand off ebay and literally just keep following the method and try, try again that's what I'm doing. I keep going through my course materials and get each step better before I move on. Videos are great but make sure they are helping and not helping you pick up bad habits so ensure they are good like the one posted above. I do find it a little awful you have no support from your training though, it's in their interest for you to feel confident in your application, not only for safety (obviously) but you'd be more likely to recommend the course to other people. Best of luck lovely, keep at it!

Thanks for ur helphave a look at kirsty meakins and then have a practice then decide if you need the further two ours, honestly theres some amazing nail techs out there on youtube and they really do help
It was nsi, I will try practicing beads thanksWho is your educator? Did they go through bead ratio with you? Rather than applying it to a nail, print off a bead practice sheet and just practice placing different sized beads until you get them consistent.
