If you cannot afford to do the CND complete right now, why not try to get on a Shellac course? If you already have your manicure/pedicure you should qual for Shellac training. That way, you could learn and offer one treatment that you would be confident in and hopefully be able to save up faster with the money you earn from Shellac manicures. I'm in the same boat as you, saving. I don't have the option to train with CND, but I chose to train with Bio Sculpture as they offer training in my city and they have good education reviews too. Keep your chin up things will fall into place.
