sculpture extensions!

the teacher's version.
she did a square round on my finger.
and the c curve is superb!
plus, her filing is top notch.
*thumbs up*


my version of the sculpture nails.
cheated cause i filed off the sides for the nails to become rounded.
i didn't put enough acrylic on the sides. X:
FAILED!
and thanks to my brainless-ness,
i've filed the sides of one of my fingers with the nail file.
it reminded me of super deep paper cuts.
& the time when i cut myself along a steel cabinet.

ps: i feel like a failure after the past few lessons. am starting to doubt myself. ):

overlay classes!

in clockwise from top: francine, stella, eva and me! (:

this was our overlay extension class
where we had to fit the tip to our fingers.
nice?
all our nail plates looked super dry and ugly cause
we had to offshine and put dehydrator on the them.
this will prep the nail for longer lasting extensions.

and we did the acrylic ball picking session.
followed by the fixing the extensions to the fake hand.
and the filing.
which i nearly literally cried in class.
cause it reminded me of work
where the higher management keep going back and forth.
and jobs are never ending,
tasks are never completed.
it's a lousy feeling. ):
