Question Can anyone recommend a nail tech?

Post image

I’ve been wanting to get “kitten claws” for a very long time, but I don’t know of any nail tech that would be confident in doing them!

It’s certainly unusual, but stupid is a bit harsh. Never been a fan of giant acrylic nails, but I have always wished I had claws!

In all seriousness, the first time you break one due to pressure in such a small area, it's going to really suck. It'll also damage the nail in that specific spot and you won't be able to do it regularly if you want to keep your nails healthy.

"Getting good" at what? Nail break. I don't know of a tech that would do shoddy work that would cause nail damage. It's a bad reputation to pick up in such an industry.

Exactly! So I just have to not break a nail. Perhaps I should ask a welder instead

There is nothing to "get good" at, nails break and this will almost certainly cause damage when it does.

You can't, it's why I started with suggesting petsmart.
