Old school people usually are :-) It depends on what technique you are used to and what technique you've worked on. When I started doing nails, many moons ago, tips were new and not very good. They yellowed and got dried out and shattered when you shortened the nails, so, I learned how to sculpt right out of the gait. There were no alternatives, sculpt or die. So, of course, I am faster sculpting than tips with overlay. Thank the nail gods that tips have come a L O N G way since the 80's. You may always be faster with tips than sculpting since you learned tips first, who knows? I do think that it is a good idea to be proficient with all techniques so you can customize the service to each client. Tammy is a great instructor. She taught me everything I know! Well, I've learned a few things on my own and from other instructors, but, I still credit Tammy for my continued success. If I hear about a TT class in the STL area, I'll post it and I'd appreciate it if you would do the same. With any luck, I'll see you at a TT class this year!
