I went to one of my old established clients this morning. She had broken the end of her nail off on her garden pond pump and I decided to sculpt the missing free edge back on. No problem you would of thought.........................................
But then.......................I forgot my tub with my collection of sculpting forms in!!!!!! :irked:
Bit of a pain really, i'd prepped all the nails & felt a bit of a prat. So..... I asked her if she had any kitchen foil & off she went & got me some.
I made a 'Heath Robinson' style form from a doubled up piece of foil and held it in place whilst i sculpted the free edge back on and held it (and my breath!!!!) in place whilst it set.:Scared:
She was saying how talented she thought i was etc etc and i was thinking - jeeezze i hope this works!!!! (I live 15 miles away so it was a bit of a journey to go back for one form!)
Has anything like this happened to any of you????
I have to say, it worked a treat, no seepage or over-exposure problems & the foil came off really easily! Thought it would of stuck a bit more!!!!!! The nail shape & structure was good too.
I have to say, I was so pleased with myself!!!! It was a bit nerve wracking tho incase it didn't work!!!!
