Well I went and did this lady's nails at 10 am today. I forgot to take my camrea, so took a photo using my phone. I used forms in the end, wether or not that was thr right choice I don't know. Looking at the photo, I can see a lot I'm not happy with but hopefuly I can correct that when she has her rebalance.
This is the first time I've had the chance to use Brisa on a real person (normaly practice with it on my nail trainer) since around may last year and it was my first biter, not sure if that makes any differance or if it's just me making an excuss for what I'm not happy with.
On the bright side, the cleint loved her nails and even said word for word " I expected them to look more false and thick but I really like that they look like my real nails" , so I'm at least pleased that she is very happy with her nails.
Also, her mum was there while I was doing the lady's nails and she has booked in to have her nails done as well at the end of Febuary! Now the mother, who I would guess is in her 50's to 60's, had enhancements put on 5 years ago at a salon. The salon left her with painful nail beds and two days after having the nails applied, she had a nasty infection in one nail. The infection was so bad that it has permenalty damaged one of the nails (at the matrix) and it has never been the same since. It felt so good to know that I helped restore this womens trust in nails techicians again, as she told me she had been too scared to let anyone near her nails again.
So while I may be a bit disappointed the how the nails turned out, I am really happy that the client loves her nails and that the clients mother is not scared to have her nails done by a nail techician after seeing how I worked.
I've attached the photo (runs and hides)
