First attempt at Shellac - a practice before my course!

[Bex_w84]

Hello!

My kit arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to have a practice on myself!

I used Tropix but i think it could have done with a 3rd coat for better coverage of the free edge??

My course is booked for next week so hoping to pick up lots of application tips

I think your application looks good, on the ring finger looks perfect, maybe just need to sharpen the line on the middle and little fingers as it looks like it's touching the cuticle and that would cause lifting if you did this on a client.

You'll learn more on your course but for a first go, the application is good. The real test though will be seeing how long they last as this is obviously one of the main things with Shellac is to get at least 14 days wear out of them. Good luck with your course. Shellac is awesome

Yes I weren't happy with my lines on those fingers either...I did my mums yesterday and were much better - no toddler hanging round my heels

I've had Shellac on before, around xmas and only got a week out of them..I work in a bar and had to change barrells and didn't help my precious nails...I refuse to go down the cellar now!
