Hi geeks, hope some of you can help me. My tutor did a demo on me last Saturday and I've noticed some tiny bubbles that look like teensy weensy air bubbles in the acrylic. I practised on myself too (did a couple of pink & white, and a couple clear) and there seems to be the same - are they likely to actually be air bubbles or am I just not refining & finishing off correctly or thorougly enough? Am I working too wet/dry? Any ideas?
Another quick question, while I'm here - is it me, or is sculpting much easier (and quicker!) than blending tips? I always seem to blend the actual tip away until it's virtually non-existant - and on my nail trainer hand I usually break them off cos they are so brittle by the time I've finished with them. Am I probably using too harsh a grit - I usually use a 180 until I'm nearly down to the natural nail plate (or the nail trainer nail plate!) and then a Koala or white block.
I've got six weeks left (of my 12 week course) and I must start my case studies soon, so any help is very muchly appreciated! xxx
