Week 7

 Welcome back to my blog! This week was one of my harder weeks and I have a few challenges. When I first planned this week, my goal was to practice a full set on another friend. The girl I was going to practice with ended up canceling at the last minute leaving me with no one. At that moment I decided I would try doing my first set on my own nails! Before I did my own nails, I went back and watched another Youtube video making sure I didn't leave a step out! I only did my left hand because I felt that I wasn't ready to do a full set. Doing my own nails with basic nail polish is already pretty hard for me but doing the acrylic on myself was much harder. I started by doing the acrylic as usual which went pretty well. Getting the acrylic smooth went a lot better than last time due to the fact I got a new brush for applying the acrylic. Cutting and shaping the nail was my next step and that went a little rough. When I try to focus on something my hands start to shake sometimes and that happened while doing that process. Next, I wanted to do something a little extra! I painted my nails pink and white and added a few gems. Painting my own nails didn't look how I wanted them to but the gems actually looked really good. Before applying the gems I was worried it would be hard, but in reality, it was pretty easy for me! Overall, I wasn't too happy with my nails because they didn't look how I wanted them to but I am still very new at doing nails and they could have looked worse. Doing my own nails took me a lot longer than doing other people's nails. Overall it took me around an hour and fifteen minutes. Next week I am going to do a full set on my own nails which follows my plan sheet. Stay tuned for next week's nails!
