Hi Guys,
Due to work and home commitments I have not visited this site for a long, long time.:sad: I previously trained with Creative taking both L&P and Fabric courses, as you know these options can sometimes require a fair amount of filling, I'm currently seeing a specialist for joint/Rheumatism problems, and feel that I need to change the direction that my life is taking, at present I have a stressful full time job in sales and feel this is not helping my health. As mentioned earlier work and home commitments have stopped me pursuing a career in nails,:cry: I now wish to pick up where I left off by putting all my previous training and hard work into action Ive talked about it for long enough now I need to put my money where my mouth is. Hence the reason for this post:-
Gel Nails seem to have really taken off, Ive just had 2 tips and a Gel overlay applied at my local salon, I was really impressed with the minimal filling the Gel application seemed to require.
After giving it some thought Im very interested in Gel nails but I have a few queries/questions that I could do with your input on-
The nails were applied 3 days ago I have noticed that the gel has some clouding/lifting by the cuticles, is this normal or due to poor application/technique?
The Nail technician seemed to do excessive filling (Imo) of the natural nails with a very course file again is this normal with Gel?
I had 2 split nails which had to be cut down and tipped as the Tech advised that you cannot repair split nails with gel. Is this correct?
I had 2 layers of gel applied to the nails which I must say look very thin and natural, is this enough to give me 2 weeks between maintenance visits?
Also what happens with Rebalancing and maintenance how much filling is required?
Finally which product/brand Ive always been a creative girl how do they fair in the gel world?
Look forward to your replies
Katie
