I've just bought one of the little 'try me' kits for an acrylic system ( i've always done gels ) to see if i could do a better job than the person who did mine.
I tried it out on my friend , but when it came to blending the tips onto the nail, i think i was a bit over zealous with the file ! i made a 'hole' in the tip where it was glued onto the nail bed, but the sidewalls were a nightmare to blend. It seemed to take ages to blend in (!!)
If i can manage to master the basics myself, i'll obviously be going on a course, but i like to try things out first cos i don't like looking like an idiot when i go!! I've only ever sculpted with gel before, so applying tips is new to me. Ive been asked about doing acrylics quite a few times by new clients, and if i can offer this service as well, its always another 'string' to my bow !
