Beginner nail tips from a semi retired nail tech 💅

1. Quality over Quantity ✅️ I get wanting to improve speed. However, if you're fresh out of school, speed will come with time. My "good" sets used to take about 3-4 hours for basic french, even longer for designs! Slow down, REALLY pay attention to each step you do, and take your time!
