Hi all. I've been qualified for about 5 months and have completed a CND master architect course which was fantastic. I have seen so much improvement in my technique, but i have a few things which are really kicking my confidence.
I am still taking 3 hours (a couple of times it has been abit longer!) for a full set of L&P and I'm really having a hard time with forms, even though i recieved the c-curve dowels from CND. I struggle with them on nails with barely any free edge, or as hard as i try, i can't quite get it to sit flush under the free edge. I try to customise (as per the young nails youtube vid) and i still can't seem to jag it.
I know i need to just bite the bullet so to speak and get myself out there, but i freeze at the thought of having someone sit for over 3 hours and trying to use forms but fumbling with them! I need to practice but not sure how to go about it. Continue with family and friends or should i offer a discounted price to the public and make the client aware that I'm new and of the time frame so I'm being up front? Apologies for such a long post but I feel like every time i take a step forward i take 5 steps back.
