I prefer sculpting using ac, so i thought I would prefer it with gel. I was wrong. I was using Brisa and I swear I was using marshmellow creme. So many steps too. With gels I find I do better with the first nail and by the tenth I am frustrated and they look worse one by one. I think I will try to get the gel with tips down first then move to the sculpts. Practice! Practice! <http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/05.gif> Angie Wingerter _____ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: NailTech Group <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 1, 2009 10:19:28 PM Subject: NailTech:: Re: minx frustration What did you eat for dinner that night?

It's frustrating to order things and pay for them and not recieve them. I would prefer to just be able to walk in a store and pick up what I need, but with nail supplies it just isn't that way. I am feeling frustrated with trying gel nails. This last week nothing seemed to go right and I was ready to throw in the towel. I tried sculpturing gels for the first time and wow. I decided I would rather stick a needle in my eye then do that again. I had a nightmare that night that the gel wouldn't get off my brush and it just kept stringing up as high as I would lift my brush. The white gel was in a jar like marshmellow creme and when I would dip my brush it kept getting all over my hands and stringing. It was in my hair and everything. I woke up so frustrated and decided that I would stick to acrylic which I could do in my sleep. After a few days I feel better and think I will try some more. <http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/05.gif> Angie Wingerter _____ From: Shannon Kuharik <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 1, 2009 7:53:29 PM Subject: NailTech:: minx frustration Hey all, I just need to vent my frustration on a couple things. I have practiced the clear minx on a few people. I have had trouble with wide nails that the minx does not cover but overcame this. I really do not like practicing with the clear as I can not see where it sits, when it rubs off, etc... so I ordered some patterns along with a lamp on the 24th. They say they just got the order today and it will ship sometime next week. They said they do not get the order until paypal releases it with payment and that paypal must have help my payment for some reason (although I paid by credit card from my checking account and the money was taken out on the 25th but whatever) I am just frustrated that I have already taken appointments and I may have to reschedule them because my patterns (along with my lamp) will have taken almost 2 weeks to get to me. Frustrating. I am also frustrated that I tried to work with the gold foil and it was a DISASTER!!!! I found it to be not as pliable as the clear and had problems with wide nails (on a different person) and had problems with filing it off (was harder than the clear) I know it takes practice and tomorrow I will be fine and happy and ready to try again but it is late and I am frustrated and just needed to vent and rant. Like I said, tomorrow is a new day and many things about being a nail tech takes practice, practice, practice. I just do not want to do an actual paying client and have these results. I will practice more this week so hopefully it will get easier... Thanks for listening guys!!! Shannon K No virus found in this incoming message.
