Hi just wanted to say I have done my first set of enhancements today and it took me 4 1/2 hours. I have to say that although my friend was pleased with her nails I was disappointed with them. I did the tips ok and was pleased with the blending and de bulking. Shortly after that a friend of hers came round and stood talking but watched everything I did and asked loads of questions, how off putting is that. Although since finishing my CND Foundation course a month ago I have only practised on trainer hand I felt I needed to practice on a 'real' person. I have spent the last month reading Gigi's brilliant tutorials trying to take it all in but perhaps it has all been too much too soon? I was not happy with my product application and felt that I has applied too much, got confused with which files I should be using and kept having to refer to my notes. The finished nails I thought were far from perfect although my friend was pleased with them. Now I feel quite down and wonder if any of you felt the same at the beginning. I would dearly love to watch someone do a full set of nails professionally but can't bring myself to go into a salon and ask and although I know I could pay to have my own nails done and watch the nail tech I feel that its not the same. How sad must I seem! Just needed to get that off my chest Annie x
