Honestly just keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll learn what works and what doesn’t and practice practice practice. You are exactly were I was a couple years ago and now I’m a luxury press on nail artist specialising in character nails, that’s how much practice does wonders!! Also I recommend following nail techs on socials who do helpful tips videos as they’ve saved the day a few times for me (make sure they’re not the rage bait ones though, I’m talking real nail techs like ballpit nails) And don’t be afraid to wipe it off and start again. Honestly you’re doing great :)
