To practice sculpts on a form, my educator showed me a sweet way of doing it by wrapping a sculpting form around the top or lid of a long nail polish bottle. That probably sounds confusing ! Can post a link to pic to demonstrate if you need
Practicing smiles on tips is also a winner!
What is it blu-tack (blue tac)? English is not my first language so I have no idea what it could be and since there is never enough practicing, I would love to try that, too. Linda

Yes please.
You could use plasticine or a kind of modeling clay... blue tack is usually used to put up posters on walls.
The clear ones would be better than the natural ones, also available on ebay xI found plenty tips on ebay should I go for coloured as I imagine it would be hard to see white on white thanks again. The blue tac idea is awesome x
Sorry I didn't notice this for a while !

Attach the form by fixing the part that would usually lay under the natural free edge firmly to the end of the bottle, then fiddle with the rest of the form to suit your needs.. and viola! A nice way to practice sculpting.
You can either just hold the bottle, or get a big wodge of blu tack and hold it in place on your table, hope this helps x
When I first started nails, someone on this site suggested a rubber glove filled with rice, then glue cheap false tips on. It really gives you the feel of holding real fingers and turning them to get them at the right angles. So I filled a right and left hand glove and sat them in front of me on my manicure table. (Locked the door in case any one came in and thought I'd lost the plot!!) Worked amazingly well for me!
