First go at nails after manicure course

[hairstylist2010]

Hi Ladies,

Popping over from the hair side as on Wednesday I did a one day course in manicure and today did my first 'guinea pig' which happened to be my sister. I did her toes as she's acrylic on her hands but just wanted practice filing and painting etc. I did fairly thin coats but felt like it wasn't going to try 100% so will wait and see.

My question is, when in the manicure process do you use the buffer? We got instructions from the course but it doesn't have this step on the Mavala Manicure instructions but we did it on the course.

Thanks! Only 10 more guinea pigs booked so fingers crossed I get more confident

I was taught to do it right at the end..buff then paint
Good luck with your other practices! Confidence will come ooh, make sure you do plenty of practice with darker colours ie reds and navy blue etc. we had to do so much practice with them at college as they're a little harder to paint with, especially when you're just learning
