i got mine off ebay, i didn't want to (nor did i have the extra money to if i'm honest) spend out like £85 on a brand new one from a beauty wholesalers/suppliers. you can also buy the replacement nails off there for cheaper than beauty wholesalers/suppliers too.
another thing i do to help with practise is i bought a pack of nail 'tips' (it saves me from 'wasting' my expensive cnd tips) from a chinese seller on ebay for literally a couple of pound for hundreds of them so you can imagine the kind of quality they are! def not something you would ever ever put on a client LOL and got some of my grandads sand paper (far cheaper than nail files) and took off the shine from the nail tip (which is what i was told to do on my cnd training when i was using the trainers training hand) and then stick the nail tip to my table with some blue tack and practise like that if i can't be bothered using the nail trainer or i just have a spare 30minutes so don't have the time to attach the trainer and glue on a tip etc etc.
also on my cnd training we were given a sheet with circles on that we had to fill with acrylic to help judge by sight the ball size we'd need so what i do now is ask my bf and little boy to draw me some circles as i find that i like circles of a certain size because i know they are easier so i'm not very creative with my circles then practise getting the right sized balls for the circle that way.
i totally understand what you mean about getting clients for practise, i'm forever offering free sets because i really do need the practise on real people but *shrug* i can't kidnap people and chain them to the chair and force my nail brush upon them sadly as of course i couldn't practise my balance point positioning with their hands tied down could i??
good luck with your practising
