Hi guys,
Well, just back from a client who wanted a full set of gel nails - with natural tips. I have come away from her nearly in tears - AGAIN. Nails always seem to upset me.
I just can't do them. Overlays are ok and white tips are ok, but when it comes to applying natural colour tips and blending - it seems impossible.
When I stick the tips I always get air bubbles and when I try to blend them, I end up tearing them or making them too thin - and it takes me AGES!
I've read Nailclass from cover to cover, but still to no avail.
With my client today, I filed a hole in 2 tips, had to reapply them and then I just ended up not blending the tips and putting the gel on top.
I KNOW THIS IS WRONG, but I just couldn't blend them. And if you really do have to blend natural tips, why does the NSI training DVD tell you to cut out the well and just stick the tip on the nail without blending - like I did today?
I am expecting Creative's velocity tips and pink gel bond 2moro - please tell me this will make a difference - no matter how small.
I just can't cope with coming away from every client feeling downhearted and like I want to jack the whole thing in and go work in an office!!!!!!! It's soul destroying. Please, Please, Please somebody help me - I love this job, but i just don't think I'm good enough to be in the beauty industry.
Thanks lovies,
In desperation,
Natasha
