MY NAILS AS A BEGINNER TECH

2025/2/19 Edited to

... Read moreAs a beginner nail tech, capturing your progress is key to improving your skills. From my first gel X set, which I rated a 3/10, to my latest birthday nails, I’ve experienced a rollercoaster of emotions and skills development. Initially, my nails looked sloppy, and I struggled with achieving smooth top coats, but each set taught me valuable lessons. As I played with charms and metallics, my creativity flourished, reflected in designs that have earned countless compliments. It’s essential to embrace imperfections and learn from them. Engaging with the nail community provides great support and advice—don't hesitate to ask for tips from others who share the same passion. Collaborating and learning exchanges can enhance your skills immensely. Remember, practice is crucial! So whether you're just starting or you're a seasoned pro, document your nail journey. It’s not just about the aesthetics; it’s about the personal growth, feedback, and the shared joy of creating beautiful nails.

Some nails I have done as a beginner “nail tech”
I don’t consider myself a nail tech because I only do my friends nails at the moment and will get terrified if someone ask me to do their nails! I’m my biggest hater and typically hate every set I do and think it’s not good enough and that’s the main reason why I won’t do other people’s. Even if th
