Nail prepping???

[DOLLYSPLODGE]

I did my first set of acrylics tonight round a friend of a friends.....so was well nervous about getting it right etc...but now i realize i havent put any nail prep on the nail plate after roughing the nail gently......do you think the nails will stay on?? or do you think the jobs a 'wrong un'?????
Any advise greatly appreciated. lol

Well firstly i wouldnt worry yourself silly!

When we are new to the industry there can be alot to take in, infact i remember doing 2 sets myself when i first started out and i forgot to use the primer.
I worried my self stupid thinking these girls was going to phone me and say they had trouble with the nails i had done, but no everything was fine.

Did you clean the nail plate prior to applying the product? If you did then you may have removed any trace of oil/dust so prob will be ok with nothing to worry about.

If i was you i would wait and see if you get any come back, whats done is done and other than phoning up and saying "I'm sorry mrs xx i forgot to apply nail prep" theres not alot you can do chick

Dont write the job off as wrong un' put it down to trial and error and hopefully next time you will remember :hug:

They may well stay on ok but if you have not used a nail plate cleanser you will have left pathogens on the nail plate,
this could cause what we call a greenie on one, some or all of the nails,
i would make an excuse to see her in a week if she is a friend of a friend and have a look at them,
if you see any discolouration under the L&P you need to soak off that set and redo them for her using plenty of nail plate cleanser to kill all pathogens that have built up,
for free I'm afraid to say as it was your mistake, but don't worry we learn from mistakes and you will probably never make the same one twice hth :hug:

Aw thanks you guys....the advice is fab. I did clean the nail plate and then just forgot the silly stuff!! I did them for free as i was training, but now my college tutor says i shouldn't be out of pocket and start charging for what i do, but not full price. What do you think? What should i charge for each system? Do you think i would be cheeky charging when im training??
