First Client - Gel on Natural Nail

[K.e.brown]

Hi Everyone

I'd like some advice please, I have my first (paying) client on Saturday Morning, she has long(ish) natural nails .... not all the same length though; anyway, she wants gel on them, quite a natural look, so no bright colours. I am unsure how to do it, I was thinking some Dashing Diva Tips (as I still need more practice on my smiles!) ... then I was unsure on the next step ... shall I use a soak off gel (like ManiQ) base and top-coat, or shall I use the clear gel like I do on a set of Gel extensions? and build an apex? I'm so confused and really want to get this right!

Thank you xx

if a client wants a natural nail overlay, i normally would paint the white with a white gel then build a layer with young nails builder gel then file to correct shape and blend in etc then finish with a gloss gel. i think it lasts a lot better with a building layer. also if she wants a natural look will she like the dashing diva whites as there very bright so would give a fake look. would she not just prefer a clear gel and no white.
