Full sets of overlays taking around 4 hours. Advice please

[c.mrsm]

hi

I just wanted some advice. I'm learning acrylic, gel and fibreglass overlay systems. Wev been told we should only take 2 hours to do them. It's taking me around 4-5 hours. It takes forever to blend my tips I think that's half the problem. I will never make any money if it's taking me so long. Just wondered how long does it take others and how do I I get my blending time down?

Celina Ryden has some fantastic videos on cutting down your service time, but most of it comes to practice I'm afraid

I’d like to mention Nail Career Education, she does a wonderful job showing how to do all of this. When I first started it took me just as long, only I started with forms. Practice makes perfect, darling

Oh I love her!! I'm literally glued to her channel but she does always seem to use forms which I'm not quite ready for yet. I managed to do my exams in 1 hour 45 today and pass. It was stressful and rushed but yes it will come with practice I'm sure. Thank you xx

Oh wow, congratulations!
In my exams, both acrylic and gel, I sat there for four+ hours sweating bullets!
