Hi there peeps,
I did 2 sets yesterday and 3 today on my lovely guinea pigs Just wanted to ask a couple of questions please .....
Sugaring .... After looking up various threads last night i saw a reply by geeg saying that chrystalisation (which was what i thought i had) was sugaring ... and she was so right ... that is what i had ... and again today ... so i buffed it off this time but ... apparently is because too wet a mix? I guess i am trying to hold too much liquid coz too scared of having too dry and then fluffing it completely .... I have got my prepping off to a tee ... really spend a good time making sure its correct, then i do the white, either tips or sculpt (depending on bravery at the time lol) which turns out good .... its the pink that i am failing on ... trying so desperately to not get it on skin or too thick i am obviously too wet then getting sugaring or filing a hole in coz too little ... is it just practice practice practice or can someone give me advice on best way to master correct mix ... please? xx
I am absolutely loving every minute of it but by goodness it feels like hard work lol and i am knacked at end of day ... is there a time when it suddenly becomes second nature? again after much practice i suspect.
At least everyone i have done is thrilled with their nails and are coming back to me
Thanks so much for all the advice ... I have spent hours and hours trawling through the threads.
Hugs to all
