Now that we have discussed the differences between tips and forms it's time for you to "SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW".

We've created this assignment in order for you to really see the difference in how the two application styles perform.

1) Choose a practice client (a willing friend or family member.  We don't recommend you perform this experiment on yourself because most of us are either right or left handed and it would affect the quality of the application on your dominant hand) and apply one hand with 5 tips and then one hand sculpt with forms.

2) Download our "SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW" form to complete your assignment.

3) Describe your practice client's state of hand and nail health before application and add why you choose this particular practice client.  For example perhaps they bite their nails or perhaps they've only worn tips etc.

4) Then take a before picture, then an after picture after application on both hands (make sure the pictures include both hands and are in focus) and insert them into the form where indicated.

5) Then have your practice client come back in 2 -3 weeks for their re-balance appointment and note the differences (if any) and take a picture.

What were your findings?  Was there any difference between the 2 hands.  Add any comments your client make have describing her experience with the two hands.

Will this affect the way you approach your applications going forward?
