I have an on going issue with one of my own nails.. Seems i have a dent on the Nail plate that will not.. no matter what i do "take" the product..
I am using OPI Clarite' ATM and havnt come across this before...
Most of my clients are girls who have been with me since the beginning.. who i have "introduced" to enhancements by way of offering free/cost sets so i could practise..practise.. practise!! I have never thankfully damaged their plates and apart from the odd bad blending of zones or touching the skin, some lifting and chasing the file line have had a pretty smooth run with them!
Not so with my own.. I am a bit rougher with mine.. and while practising filing on top of the lift i had ..i think ..i filed into my NN and left a red indentation.. :irked:
after doing a rebalance everything looked fine.. but then i smacked my hand on the wall ((taking off my kids trousers!!)) and it lifted off the area of concern..
so i filed it down ((again)) ((you will be pleased to know i no longer chase the line thanks to Gigi's wonderful advice)) so now on one hand i have a nail ready to be prepped for a rebalance
I rang my friend and fellow tech Lisa and she said to triple prime the area, I use primer very sparingly and just wondered if perhaps i should leave it be for a bit.. use my cuticle oil and fill it during my next rebalnce rather then put it through anymore stress?? any advice would be great!
Thanks geeks!
On a side note.. I recieved my Creative retention+ Starter kit to take with me to the conversion course i am starting next month.. I Soooooo want to play with it!! Is it a good idea to "have a go" or wait till i start the course?? Help my wandering fingers to stay away from the box if thats needed.. but i cant wait to work with the product.. and surely a set on myself would be ok?? Or will i work with it wrong and confuse my poor brain?? I remember i did the same thing with the Clarite and was sure i was sold a dud because it didnt seem to "set" untill i sat down 1 on 1 with the lady and she explained the roll off tecnique.... what say you geeks??
Oh and sorry this is so long.. :o
