AHHHHHHHHH, ok i hate doing nails, no thats wrong nails don't like me:lol:. I am about to order the popits to try but have kind of lost hope. I have a lady who has booked in for a wedding and sugested she goes else were for her nails but she has insisted that i do them and she wants dimonties, please guys help meeeeeee
 
is it Acrylic you use or gel? Does she want a french tip? if so the easiest thing you could do it stick white tips on and apply a clear or pink overlay. You could put dimontes on the nails requested - like the wedding finger with some adhesive before you apply your product. BUT if you are really worried about doing this perhaps explain this to her again, you dont want to get a bad reputation when your other treatments are fantastic!! im sure if you recommend someone she will be happy with this. OTHERWISE PRACTISE, PRACTISE!!
 
I agree with the white tips for ease if she wants a french, which I would presume she would as most brides do and the diamontes, but I wouldnt apply them before the product, I always apply my gems after I have cured the gel,(I dont use L&P) but it would be the same, apply after L&P with adhesive, and I use a topcoat over the top of them,some ppl just topcoat round the gems tho in case it dulls them it depends on the quality of the gems .hth..x
 
I'm sure you will be fine just believe in yourself its only a few gems and they go on easy if you get good ones and i'm sure she will love them take a deep breath:hug:
 
Thank u guys, i did recommend she go to some one else but said she would preffer me to do it:irked: I am just such a perfectionist and my timeings are not brill. Which white tips would u suggest i use and how would u lay out the diamonties. PLease guys would not ask but i desperate. I use acrylic guys xxx I would love to do the perfect set, really need your help, she is wearing ivory and her bridesmades are in red. I will be doing them the night before the wedding, whilst she has a couple of drinks with friends xxx
 
You could use a glitter stripping pen along the smile line in either red (to match bridesmaids) or a silver or gold and then add a diamante just on the ring fingers to add a little sparkle.

If she wants all diamantes then use them along smile line either on just ring fingers or all nails. I personally think less is more with diamantes and like them mainly just on the ring fingers but some brides like to bling their day up.

Hope this helps
 
Thank u hun, were would i get the glitter striping pen from chic xxx Have u got any pictures that would help me xx
 
White tips, are upto you hun, depends what sort of nails she has to start with and what make you usually use if any? at least you wont have to blend them so thats less work.
As for the diamontes, well thats all down to choice really, you could place say 3 under the smile line, or maybe she would like them in the corner in a cluster...she may even want a red 1 to go with the bridesmaids. so make sure you have a choice.
 
I use star nails chic at min but not really like the french tips i have. I like the idea of the diamonties with one red, i shall order some. IAlthough i have my level 3 in nails i just find them so hard, and because i use jessica i have been concentrating on natural nails, but business is business and i will put my heart into themxxx

I got my stripping pens from Capital Hair & Beauty but I'm sure any warehouse does them - google stripping pens.

I haven't got any pictures but I'll see if I can take one of my nail art example board that I have there are a few examples on there that I used on a bride and her bridesmaids once.

Hi there,

I had a bride in yesterday, and gave her white tips (l&p) with 4 small swarovski crystals along the smile line on her ring finger.
I ordered my crystals on weds, paid through paypal and received them on Thurs am!! I ordered them from a company on ebay (i know a bad word, but I have been impressed!!) called Scatter Crystals Ltd.
I get my stripe it pens from Magnetic, they do a great selection.
I agree less is more.
Good luck, you'll be fine!! :green:
 
uping for more hints and tips. please guys has any one got any photos of wedding nailsxxxxx
