Hello everyone
. I´ve been a member here for a couple of weeks. Fairly new to nails, came to the UK and did a day´s training on gel nails which was fairly interesting and I felt, quite good. So far I´ve been practising on my own nails with mixed success. We were taught using Millennium products and so of course straight after the course I bought all the products we were taught with which incidentally cost a small fortune! So far from the few sets I´ve done on myself, I´ve learnt that it´s not good to paint the gel on too close to the surrounding skin area lol but apart from that I´ve been quite impressed with the results!
I bought a box of Gold Tip Millennium tips but I prefer french manicure. Presumably you buy the white tips for them but I wondered what happens when you blend them, do you lose some of the whiteness and have to paint it on with white polish?
I was persuaded by the trainer to buy the Millennium products for french manicure but I´m confused as to which order I should apply the gels. Perhaps someone can help me out here?
I have:
Millenium Base Gel
Millennium Platinum French White
Millennium Platinum Gel
Millennium Gels Pale Pink
I did try to do a French Manicure with the gels but wasn´t at all impressed by the colours, it just seemed very colourless to me and certainly the Millennium Platinum French White was barely noticeable. I´m a little bit p%¤##%¤ off as just those 4 gels cost me around £50!!!
Because I wasn´t impressed with the french manicure I have just stuck to using the Millennium Platinum Gel and applying nail varnish if I want some colour but seeing as I´ve got these coloured gels I should be using them. I did have a go at the french manicure again but it started to bubble. I´m presuming that I applied products in the wrong order or used the wrong gels for that process.
Anyway this a bit of long post but any advice would be really appreciated. Incidentally I did email the organisation I trained with but surprise surprise after over nearly 3 weeks I´ve not had a response. Why is it when you do training the trainers are always happy to give out their contact details and tell everyone not to hesitate to contact them, they´ll help you as much as they can. I´ve now had queries on 2 different training courses I attended with different training organisations and neither has got back to me OK rant over
