i've used l&p for 14yrs.
i had fibreglass training 10 yrs ago, & gel training about the same time.
luckily for me, my initial training was with creative.
a good standard initial training is essential, from there you can start to make better more confident decisions.
whether you r using l&p, gel or a wrap overlay doesn't really matter.
what does matter is a really good grounding in;
consultation
prep
tip application
product application
finishing techniques
rebalancing
aftercare advice.
these areas r the building blocks of your day to day work.
you need to b as confident in these areas as you can b.
consultation & decision making can sometimes b rushed through in some training situations, while the application techniques r given the bulk of the time.
obviously you need to perfect all areas, but not at the expense of the initial important areas.
extend you knowledge as soon as possible.
before you manage to get this training, i suggest you purchase "the nail encyclopedia" by jackie jefford & anne swain, this will give you some initial answers.
the other thing you can do immediately is to phone designer nails on 0113 275 5719, & ask for a try me kit for "fabric#".
if you look at some of the posts on the board on the subject of fabric#, you will see that it is the latest innovation in wraps.
as you currently use gel or fibreglass i think, rather than cofuse you with l&p technology, fabric# would b the best solution to your immediate problems.
you can always get superb advice on this board once you've tried it.
let me know how you get on
