So...I've trained in l+p and gels, did my HND and qualified in everything but the HND didn't cover nail art so I thought a one day introductory course would be a good place to start thinking that it would explain the nail art brushes, the paints, the pens etc. But it turned out it was an acrylic art course.
We weren't told this so most of the girls showed up with only their basic manicure kit, and as a result half the class had to go buy brushes and acrylics which I thought was terrible considering we all only got told to bring a manicure kit.
Now don't get me wrong I learned some stuff but I really thought it was gonna be a basic course, a couple of the girls hadn't even done acrylic nails before so if they go out to do this with no formal training..and the teacher was really really rushing us (and using an electric drill which im so unsure about due to previous bad experiences) so we never really had a chance to ask questions or really practise anything.
Also got told conflicting info to what i'd been taught before even though it was the same nail system and the same products!
It was so disheartening, wish I hadn't bothered, I've learned more about nail art from Fingernailfixer on facebook than I did today!!
Seriously, think i'll need to save up for a couple of years and go train CND complete, it sounds so much better!!
Sorry to bitch! But i still have NO idea where to start with nail art now! And the acrylic was so thick and bulky that it took me 2 hours to get them off....sigh.
