Question as above.
I can do a french manicure freehand but there are just some times where:
a) guides might look that bit better
b) the clients nail shape doesn't lend itself to being easy to work on
c) I get nervous and shakey
I suspect that generally, it might look unprofessional to use nail guides (in which case I guess I've answered my own question lol) but on the other hand, would it really be that bad to use them if it made the finished result look better.
Hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot by asking this.
*Nail guides are those white stickers that you put on the nail...so they're like a removable stencil/guideline to help you do a smile line for a french manicure.
*If I was self employed I would probably use them, thing is though, I want to be employed so I'm thinking in terms of trade tests and generally working for someone else
Hope yas can help
