Using forms/sculpted nails

[noodles]

Hi

I want to get better and more confident at sculpting nails on forms - what sort of nail can they be used on?

Thanks

My staff and I sculpt on virtually any nail, in fact I can't think of one we wouldn't sculpt on.

Of course some are easier to sculpt than others

What experience / training of sculpting do you have and what would you hope to add to your services with it? Are you having any problems or requests at the moment that you hope sculpting would overcome?

As Fiona says, it is possible to sculpt on any type of nail but much easier or regular shaped nails than on irregular ones. Therefore I tend to tip irregular shapes (bitten, fan shaped, ski jump) and sculpt nicely shaped nails because it it easier and quicker for me to work like that.

While learning, you should concentrate on doing regular shaped nails first.

My suggestion is that from now on you do every repair or nail replacement with a sculpted nail. Then you learn nail by nail how to do it well without being too anxious about having to perform a full set. You see allot of different nails this way and it is great practise for you. One perfect nail at a time. When you are comfortable with what you are doing and that they are lasting well for you THEN you should be ready to begin.

Yes wise words Geeg, I think I'll try doing that way first and get used to it gradually! Thank you.

I've dabbled with sculpting but not really done much with it. I think it provides a more natural look and saves faffing round with blending tips. I've just booked a 1 to 1 with my trainer for next month as I'd like to perfect sculpting. I was reading through an old thread on here earlier too about it, and some geeks never use tips anymore! If someone wanted natural tips though I would have to use tips wouldn't I? As I have never seen a natural looking sculpting gel, only white.
