Sam Biddle class booked - question about fake fingers for the class

[Annie23]

I am really excited, I have just booked my first Sam Biddle class In my correspondence with her I have a list of things I need for the class. One of them is a fake finger which I have ordered from the Internet. I have included an image with this message in case you're not sure what I mean, its not very good quality sorry.

This tool enables you to sculpt without the need for a model, my question is, if anyone knows - when you have finished sculpting your design can you then remove it from the fake finger cos they are pretty unsightly looking. I was wondering if I put solar oil onto the "nail plate" this would stop it adhering completely. What do you think? Can anyone suggest anything else?

Thanks in advance for your help

Do you not have a nail trainer as this would be way better?

 

[Annie23]

I do have the nail trainer but it says to take one of the fake fingers, I suppose its to cut down on the bulk of products and tools when attending.

are you doing a fantasy class?

you can slot a tip into a groove on those fingers so if you work on top of that you'd be able to remove it afterwards.

I have been using a practise hand for Design work at the moment....and I use a coat of one day glue onto the naibed first then I can prise my sculpted nail off.

I know when Sam is demo'ing she uses a couple of coats of UV30 (EzFlow) onto a persons nail so that the fantasy nail can be taken off without damage. Maybe it would work on the practise finger too! HTH

Have a great day with Sam, she is amazing and so generous with her knowledge.

Thanks everyone for your replies so far.

Izzi I did wonder about using the one day glue from NFu.Oh, I am putting in an order soon as I need some more corsets so I will order that as well!

angel fingers - I am doing the Design class as it is on special offer at the moment. I am thinking of doing the Fantasy and Photographic class when Sam is in Sheffield as it is nearer to me. I also fancy doing the 3 taster classes, the problem with me is I want to do everything and yesterday :lol:

ive taken a couple of sams classes, you'll really be fired up.
some people believe theres no market for design work, but you also learn so much about product control that its a really valuable lesson for all.

 

[Annie23]

Apparently the design class is for more salon viable nails. But I totally agree with you, all learning can only be a good thing. I totally love nail art be it salon viable or fantasy. To me personally, who loves art forms of all types, the nail is actually my favourite canvas

I know I can't wait!! I have all her downloads, dvd's and book. I am hoping she will sign my book when I am there. It will be my first class with Sam. I have found that Sam is really giving with her knowledge, I did a 3d competition at college recently and I emailed her to see if she would critique my work and she was so willing and I learned a lot from that one critique Not to mention that her resources were my first port of call when doing my little creations, I came 2nd in the whole year, that would not have happened without learning skills from Sam's dvd's etc.
