Acrylic Nails

One of my new skills will be mastering the art of Acrylic Nails and Nail Art.  Any of you that have their nails done by a professional will i'm sure at one  time or another thought to themselves..'ah i can do this'.  Well i was one of them!  Fours years ago i paid for a two day course to learn acrylic nails..well i say two days but it was about four hours each day that was really rushed as the girl i'm sure had to pick her baby up from the child minders!! Why the hell i didn't complain afterwards is beyond me but i didn't and then she had the cheek to email me to ask if i wanted to go back and learn more! 'NO I DID NOT'!!  I have practiced and learnt lots since then and have spent hundreds of pounds on courses to perfect my skills but nothing beats the real thing and working on real people but it's definitely scary and nerve wracking (well it was for me) and a confidence thing but i'm getting there. Now that i've been made redundant i'm doing one more course to learn how to sculpt which in my opinion is the best way to do nail extensions but this is only my opinion and it's also good to give people the option as some people love tips and some love sculpted nails.

Nail Art - now there is a thing...i love how creative you can be with lots of different medium embedded into clear acrylic, coloured acrylic, making shapes, painting, the list is endless and art is endless when it comes to nail art.  This said i have lots of learning and training to do and you still never ever know enough!

The hardest thing in the world for a beginner like me is doing my own nails!! OMG, shaky left hand trying to do my right and the worst acrylic technique in the world and to top it off when i had taken two hours to do them i remembered i hadn't taken the shine off and used primer!! They'll last all of two blumming days if i'm lucky now!  

Here's the result anyway!
