First Purchase Lightning speed Gel Kit By Kiss! You can find this at Walgreens or even online at Walgreens! It comes with absolutely everything you will need (even the files and glue, tips everything!!)

Read the directions that come with the kit, But I will explain how easy it is. Start by taking off any old polish and then file the top of your nails (so the tops are rough and the tips stay on better!)

Now you will apply the glue to the nail tips. You may choose french manicure or regular. They both come in the kit!!

You will now apply the gel, just like nail polish to one nail, then dip that entire nail in the powder. Do this for each nail. Then wipe or shake any loose powder off of your nail.
Repeat, by once again, apply the gel (like polish) and dip in the powder- Shake and wife off loose powder.

Spray each nail with the included setting spray. Let the nails set atleast 5 minutes. Now you will file the tops of each nail to a smooth finish, making sure to file by your cuticles. And lastly smooth nails with buffer. Finally add one coat of gel to each nail to finish.
If you had chosen the french manicure tips- you know have PERFECTLY french manicured nails!!

But it does take a professional to carry liability insurance. Do your own nails if you must ... knock yourself out. But you can't do them on others, and you certainly can't hang out a shingle as a "nail tech" and charge people for them. Above, Laura pointed out that many steps for a successful application were missed, so obviously someone isn't "reading notes". Want to do it right and not cause harm to others? Go to school! Jacquelyn, I'm glad that you've managed to build a career with only a few months training, but as you've admitted, you've at least HAD some training. Why not encourage others instead of saying it isn't necessary?

im sorry but it doesnt take a professional to do nails it takes someone with talent and brains to read notes! i am a professional and i taught myself to do this before i ever went to school. and dawn it doesnt take us years do study it only takes months.
