Hi! I am currently in school to become an esthetician. Recently, we have been learning how to apply acrylic and hard gels using forms and nail tips. I feel super demotivated because the nails that I do look awful. They are bumpy, and I can’t seem to figure out how to properly shape them (they look fat and weirdly shaped). It also takes me a few hours to complete the service. I’ve watched SO many videos on application to finish filing (currently we are using hand files, but will learn how to use e-file this week)and I just can’t seem to make mine look even half decent. Will I ever get better? I invested in those fake practice hands and fingers.. but I’m finding them hard to work with. I feel really bad for anyone that has to get their nails done by me. Not sure what to do.. at this point I’m feeling super sad about the whole process and I’m thinking nails just isn’t my thing- even tho I really had an interest in them. Everyone in my class seem to be doing such a good job and mine are just yuck.
