When I first came into nails in 1995 I wanted to do airbrushing of nails and whilst at a trade show I stood and watched a demonstration of airbrushing for 2 hours. I decided to buy a kit, as I paid I was asked did I not want to do the course, I replied that I had been watching for a considerable time I was sure that I could do it. When I got back to base I got all the kit out ready to start, I just could not do it! The gun kept clogging up, I had no control of the paint , the airflow etc. it was all over the place. I rang up the company to book a course, it cost me £500 and a trip back to London 200 miles from where I was based. When I got there it was in a lady's front room of her house with me sitting on a sofa.
The training however was excellent and when I got back it was amazing I could do it!
On our training course we will show you all that I was shown.
