I applied a set of enhancements to my first real customer 3 weeks ago and she made an appointment st the weekend for me to go last night to infill. I was really delighted to see that she had absolutely no lifting whatsoever but she had broken the tip off one of her thumbs (at the weekend, hence her call - I educated her over that one and have the next appointment scheduled for 2 weeks). I thinned out the enhancements - she wanted the length kept - and did the infills. On the thumb nail I used acetone on a pad of cotton wool wrapped up in foil to soak off the exisitng product while i was working on the rest of the nails. My customer is a bit of a fidget and she kept undoing the foil so i had to constantly re-apply the cotton pad. In the process, i managed to melt my own tips on one of my hands. although I'm a bit amused at making such a stupid mistake, I wondered if there is an easier way to deal with acetone. I've considered using tweezers to hold the pad, but I doubt if I'm dextrous enough. Any advice will be much appreciated from this poor would-be tech with 3 short and slanted tips on the left hand!
