:Scared:Sorry for the long post but here goes. I hope that someone replies in time.
Im after a bit of advice really as this is my first bridal party and im very nervous. I am going round to the mother of the brides house tomorrow at 3.30 to do everything but im not sure what order to do everything in.
This is what I have got to do.
Bride
standard manicure including french paint with complimentary nail art & gems
standard pedicure (not sure if she wants french yet) poss nail art & gems
Mother of Bride
Standard manicure with colour polish & gems
standard pedicure with colour polish & gems
Bridesmaids
6 Nail paints (1 with a tip and coat of fibreglass)
1 Toe paint
The standard manis & pedis for bride and mum include a soak as well. I have a glass bowl for the hands and a footspa for the feet. The standard mani and pedi includes file, soak, cuticles and polish.
Do you think I should do the brides soak of hands and feet at the same time or maybe brides hands (these will take more time) while mum is having pedi soak. There will be people coming and going all night because of childcare so hoping if I plan it out it will go ok.
I would feel so much more confident if I was doing shellac but I find polish french so hard to do. I am a perfectionist and dont want it to go wrong but find polish thickens and makes it hard to get the white a nice finish. I have bought a brand new white so it is easier to work with. I would normally do a layer of pink first then the white so the white is nice and crisp but how do I then go back and perfect my smiles (if need to, hoping not) as this would then ruin the pink coat if i used nail fresh. I never get anyone ask for french manicure anymore as everyone has shellac although my french shellacs come out great but shellac has a different consistency to polish. HELP. :cry:
Im getting round to the house at 3.30 and will need to set up. Do you think that I will get them in all done. There wasnt as many people at first but the mum has added extras as she goes along.
Also what should I charge for gems as the mum said she might want them. Apart from my free nail art and gems for the bride, I have also offered a 10% off the total bill. Do you think this is ok. Think it works out about £12 off at end depending on if there is extra work/gems etc.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. I just hope I manage to get it all done and home at a decent hour of the night.
