Hello Geeks,
Ok I'm in a bit of a pickle so need some grown up advice. I passed my CND l+p conversion in May of this year and passed my NVQ2 acrylic last October. Since this time I have been using my family to practise on, one of them being my niece. Every two weeks when I go to her for a rebalance she either has loads missing broken or lifted. Now whilst I'm still a newbie most of my other family and friend guinea pigs have very little problems except for the odd broken nail of small bit of lifting. It has now gotten to the point where I need some advice. Could it be that she doesnt suit acrylic. I dont do Brisa gel yet as I wanted to master l+p first. I do however do shellac on myself and my mum and I love shellac and I'm really confident in it. (doing my shellac brings them back on 8th oct for the certificate). So do I try shellac on her or am I just giving up. It has gotten to the point where this is knocking my confidence so badly I dread her calls to tell me what else has gone wrong. I have a 121 booked also for October lift prevention (which has been put back should have been this month but unforeseen circumstances changed it). Thought perhaps someone could give me some advice.
Her nails are very dry (although Ive given her solar oil and she uses it). They grow quicker than any nails I have ever seen before, could that cause a problem making them imbalanced all the time. She is not the most careful of people. Any thoughts would really be appreciated. I love nails but this is getting me down.
Sorry second question. Can you use opaque powders to disguise the natural nail growth but put sheer pink over the top to make the appication slightly easier lol. Or is this cheating!! Thanks guys xx
