This might be a dumb question, but I want to be sure that I do this right.
A new client of mine just wants a layer of gel over her natural nails to add strength. This is what I would do - tell me if this is correct:
She has clear nail polish on. I would take that off, and lightly buff the shine off her natural nail. Then I would use a bonder, and apply just the top coat of the gel, or maybe a first layer of gel and then the top coat. Is this correct?
Let me know - I do this for her on Friday, and I just want to double check to be sure that I do it rightso they don't lift or anything.
One more question that I have - what if a client with short nails wants extensions and comes in and wants a sculpted regular set of nails, not a french? Do I just use a very soft white and once her nails grow just use a clear when I do fills and leave the white grow out, or do I just use the clear gel? I think the clear would be too see through.
I just started renting a room in a very nice salon and I am sort of nervous starting out, I'm worried that someone will ask me things that I don't know about........
