      Hard Gel is definitely fun! And if you work really hard on application, you won’t have to file 😉

   What are three things you’ve absolutely nailed in this Module?

   1. Tapering in and redoing a lot of the surface filing after sculpting a square nail and filing it into another shape

   2. Oval is definitely my best shape to file

   What are three things you really need to continue to work on?
   1. Keeping my file at the right angle to achieve the perfect straight free edge for squares and coffins

   2.Visualising that the length is or isn’t consistent across all nails, including the thumbs

   What are three things that really surprised you?

   1. Its quite easy to change shapes with filing but not always ideal

   2. the visual of a sculpted shape vs a sculpted square filed into a shape – how different they are in terms of structure and strength

   What are three things you will never forget?

   1. Shapes are equally about aesthetic and strength, so structure must be maintained as much as possible

   2. Check, check and check again for consistency

   3. Wonky sculpting can’t be filed away and will lead to wonky shaping.

   What advice would you give to a newbie starting this Module?

   1. Definitely give this a go both in filing and with sculpting to see which method you prefer
