OOOh. I got one when I trained. Nasty stiff thing.
The way I was taught to use it was:
cover the 'nail beds" with a strip of surgical tape (north/south direction)
outline the shape of the "nb" with a pen
stick the nail tip on, blend etc
then when you have finished just take the tape off and put a new one on.
Definately not ideal but better than nothing and useful until youve saved enough money for the Nail Trainer.
One useful thing wiht it is that if youre a beginner and a bit innacurate with the abraisives you can see the scuff marks on the tape. hth.
Also very useful for frightening the c%&p out of my husband when hes watching telly and chasing him around the house. I had a fantastic time offering him a hand when he asked me for help, you get your moneys worht just for that!
Yes I definately do need to get out more.lolxx
