Hi ladies and gents
I'm currently halfway through the above mentioned course and I am loving it.
However, my enhancements obviously aren't great at the moment and I'm a little reticent about trying them on friends or clients just yet because of things like insurance not yet covering me and generally not wanting to leave people with paving slabs on their nails
Therefore, my nail trainer is taking most of the abuse but I'm finding I'm often too thick at the cuticle or worse, touching the skin ever so slightly. This became obvious on my class model where I overlapped her sidewalls by just the tiniest margin and could see the lift almost immediately. It's very frustrating is this just practice to get it right or am I destined to be a bit crap at this?
In a nutshell my questions are.
Acrylic in the brush. My trainer says to soak the brush in monomer overnight but others have advised using acetone for a few minutes to remove it. Surely acetone would do the brush damage?
CND/Creative Dappen Dish. Where can I get one of these beautiful stainless steel dog bowls? The plastic one I get with the course looks a bit cheap and I don't like the glass ones?
Filing. My aim is to practice so much that minimal filing is required but is it worth me doing e-file training to speed things up - especially during removals?
Thanks and apologies for waffling.
