nail sculpturing

[kitkat2004]

Hi. i just wondered which forms were the best for sculpting..the disposable or the re-usable ones? And how on earth do you manage to sculpt a nail when there's no free edge to fit the form under ? Or do you only fit a tip to this type of nail? When i did my training we only sculpted when there was a free edge to get the form under.

I prefer decent quality disposables for clients (I find them faster to fit and give a great result), but I use resusables on my own nails otherwise I get all in a mess as it sticks to the wrong place!

Reusable
pros: Well... um... reusable
Cons: Wont fit as many people and less customisation ability

Disposable
Pros: Easier to customise so they fit more people, giver greater versatility.
Cons: Can be more expensive long run (not much though).

In my opinion, you shouldnt sculpt on someone that has no free edge (well, if you run a risk of skin exposure anyway).

Hope this helps

i could`nt sculpt, and have`nt been taught yet, but have been practising with creative forms and they are soooooooooooooooooooooo easy and i have been getting some nice results.
they have like perforations on them that you crease and they just seem to stay in place for me, well so far anyway lol

Designer Nails restrictions on product purchases are only on L&P (maybe the new Gel) so you should be fine on purchasing the forms as long as you have proof that you are a professional nail technician.
