Hiya guys - you may remember me asking for advice regarding L&P in the last few weeks - I did my creative foundation course recently after doing and getting along with Bio Sculpture gel for so long but certain clients need more strenghth.
Anyway, I've done acrylics a few times now and I've even put them on myself for the first time although in a week have got a little chipping on the edges of half of them (my natural nails by the way) - but not mega noticeable cos they're really thin. Anyway, apart from one friend who I've done them on who has got on OK with them anyone else (and luckily not full paying customers yet!) have had problems with them chipping and pinging off all over the place - it's actually only 3 people, my daughter, friend and mum (thank god!). The most depressing story is my mum just called me this morning after I did a full set on her on Saturday. She said by Sunday she woke up and her little nail had come off in bed - by today she's lost another little nail and I think she said 2 of the others have started breaking off!
I've been really really careful to get my ratios right cos apparently I was working too wet before and when I finished my mums nails Saturday I was really proud and thought I'd mastered it at last!!
I've called technical advice at Creative and someone will be getting back to me but I'm beginning to give up all hope of ever being able to do L&P! I feel totally useless at it now
If there's anyone at all who can help and maybe even call me I'd be sooooooo grateful - my number's 07944 040905 - please, if anyone at all can assist I'd be so happy!!
Thanks again from a VERY desperate L&P user!!
