One of the biggest (and hardest) lessons I had to One of the biggest (and hardest) lessons I had to learn as a nail tech was not to compare myself to anyone else. 

- Progress is different for everyone, and it only comes with (lots of) practice.

- Don't ever compare yourself to anyone else, you're not them.

See the difference a few years can make ➡

What are the main causes of nail damage? 1. Picki What are the main causes of nail damage?

1. Picking or peeling off gel polish or other product - it takes off layers of the natural nail - nails may even feel soft or sensitive after picking off product.
2. Over-aggressive preparation.
3. Incorrect removal - not soaking for long enough, or filing off too much.
4. Biting nails instead of filing them.
5. Picking cuticles and skin around nails.
