Hi everyone,
I became qualified to use ProNails products last year and gave up after a few months as my confidence took a huge knock. All of my clients would lose nails or they'd all end up snapping off and I just felt that I couldn't produce a good enough set and I wasn't getting any better. No-one on here seems to use ProNails products so I'm getting a bit stuck
My prep work is:
ProSeptic
Cuticles
Shape the nail
Buff the nail plate to take the shine away
Add a tip (if required) and shape then buff the tip
Scrub the nail to remove dust
Primer
Base
Builder
Remove tacky layer
Re-shape the builder
Scrub the nail
Apply colour in 2 coats
Top Coat
I just don't know where I'm going wrong. I recently started again and have had the same problems - even on my own nails I can produce a lovely set of toes that I'm really proud of and walk away feeling fine but I always panic when I have a full set or an overlay booked in as I don't know how long they'll last and don't want to put customers off. How do I know if it's me or heavy-handedness on the clients part? I'm heavy handed so I know sometimes my nails break because I've not been gentle enough but I always get told by my clients that their nails just "pop off". Sorry for the lengthy post, I'm just at a bit of a loss.
