Cherise's new acrylics

Thanks till Cherise for volunteering to the nails by mark training, below is a picture of the end result, getting better IMHO.

Full set of acrylics

My First full set of acrylics, thanks to Shanae for giving me her hands to practice on.  She even said they felt much better than the shop done set she had prior.

My new case

Thanks to Niel and Eleanor for this birthday present.
A great little set of detatchable bits to cart around the endless supply of stuff you need for this profession.

Acrylic nails for margo

So this is my second go with acrylics on Margo last night.
This was definitely better than my first go, by at least 500 times.
Yay, go me...
You can see stages which include blending, acrylic application and the final result.

My new car

So I took my new car for a test drive this morning, it was fun until stupid Ford broke down in front of me.
Sigh...

Margo's new acrylics

I took way waaaaaay too long and had to remove a couple at the start coz of air bubbles, but not too bad for my 2nd set on a real human.
Feel free to comment.

ZOMG Acrylic day

So.....
I now know what it feels like to have acrylic nails on.   In a word, weird, but apparently it takes a couple of days to get used to them.
I only have 1 hand done, so will definitely post more pictures when the left hand gets done tomorrow.
As you can see the various stages of the work on my hand.
Stay tuned.

Nail design

I know I haven't posted an update for a while, am stop waiting on a photo from my Mani & pedi assessment.  Needless to say, I passed, yay !!!!
This flower design I used China glaze - strawberry fields,  the artwork was done using acrylic paints
I hope you all like, :)

14th March

So today we did mock exams for our mani/pediatric assessment, apart from having chronic shakes I think I did ok.
Ranel, my partner for the day did my nails in black.
I got home and Margo laughed at me or my nails, I couldn't distinguish which, so I thought "let's make them more ME."
You can be the judge of the results, oh, in case you don't know what you are looking at, Google emoticons.
Enjoy

Day 8 - French tips

Forgot to post yesterday, was 'hell' busy doin mani's and pedi's.
Today we learnt French tips, using acrylic blu-tac'd to each others fingers.
Needless to say, I've done better jobs, kayla was quite happy with hers, in fact she said is was 'HELL' good.  Yes, apparently saying hell before other words is the in thing these days.  Here at WCIT, we learn Hell lots of stuff.  Sigh....
After the tips, we had a quick intro into parafin wax treatments, interesting and invigorating.  So that's a must have for sure.
