Hi guys, This week has been a real struggle for me :( for some reason I have been having real trouble getting my powder liquid ratio right and also feel like I have totally forgot my technique and feel like every set of nails I have done this week have not been happy with, and tbh when I have been working this week I have been struggling a bit.

I have started to use the reverse technique rather than the traditional method I was taught with, and I am wandering if this may be the problem, as at first it was quicker and easier for me and crisper smile lines, yet now I feel like I should of just continued with trad method.

I mainly sculpt on a form, as my clients are of the nature that they believe on a form are BETTER than tiped nails, even though I will try and educate some, and inform them that they would get better results with tips for their type of nail beds.

ANyhows I had a young girl the other day and she had never had enhncments on before and she had beautifull long nail beds with deep c curve, with really long natural strong nails, she wanted me to put 'FALSE ones on' she said, so I sort of persuaded her to go for a NNO, two days later she rang and said they are peeling at the side, so I went to her home and tbh I was really pleased with them (couldn believe I done them ha ha) anyways on one or two nails with her having really deep c curve I think I may have slightly touched the side walls or maybe not got close enough, they were'nt lifting just slightly tiny weeny bit flaking (I cant find right word) now I filed and buffed etc and went on my merry way. 2 days later she text and said her thumb was doing the same,, arghhhh I text back saying by all means if she could get to me the next day I would take a look at them, her reply was she was out that night and wanted them done.....I just dont know how to handle these situations what should I say ??? I had a lady cancel today on me she was booked in for a full set and toes, she text and said, 'im sorry my 2 oclock appt (she is hairdresser) wants a colour i will be late for our 3 pm appt. So I said well I have appointments after you and can not be late for them,, she was not pleased,,how do I respond with out sounding harsh.

Essay nearly over now I promise :),,, when you have say a chipped nail near zone 3, do you have to file down the whole of the nail and then re-apply or can I just tackle zone 3,,also when doing a pink rebalance do i just concentrate on zone 3, or file down the whole enhacment and rebalance without doing zone 1??? sorry for such a long post guys,,, xxxxx:zzz:
 
after much deliberation today, I have decided to go for a 1-1 with my educator, as I feel like I have totally forgot everything I was taught. Think I have been to confused with trying diff techniques, instead of mastering one, iygwim,,,,,Thanks guys xx
 
Sanitize the area fill it in and then file it down to match the rest if that makes sense..
Works just as well, saves time and stop's you from having to the file the wholeeeee nail!
