Prep time and set of gel nails

[Jodie-82]

Hello
I'm currently in school working on my nails. I want to work on human hands for my gel practise and hopefully soon Arcrylic... Im very nervous, But how do I go about getting clients to practise on? I'm a little slow it takes me about 21/2 hours to do a full set that's with tips/French. I want to cut my time down to 1.5 hours if that is doable. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I just finished recently too. Since you're still in school tell your friends or family that you can do their nails for free but you accept "donations" over $15 (optional number lol) since you can't really charge them for not being licensed and all. I would only do this on trusted or close people incase any accidents happen. Also when doing acrylics I found that a good monomer liquid and polymer powder does wonders and my kit from school wasn't the best ha. I love cnd moxie liquid. (It does set a quicker though) But Definitely play with the application. After putting your beads down focus on the cuticle and sides make sure you pat those down first and that theyre nice and smooth but be quick. I'm still trying to perfect my craft everyday but I found this helps..sorry if I make no sense my thoughts are scrambled but good luck!!!
