[@BloomOfLife]

I took the test in Austin and failed. 😂😂 there $70 gone down the drain.. I was tired from the drive so I made mistakes. Also I used one of those realistic type of hands and the tips kept lifting. It was annoying and My work suffered from that. But I’m retaking again next week here in Houston. Just my luck they had ONE slot available this month just for ME. The Austin location is pretty outdated and the women(workers) were catty with each other’s. Sssooo not a good vibe. TBH. Here are some things to mention: 1. My monomer was checked before the exam. Not my polymer. 2. The inspector also asked to check my mannequin hand AND/OR fingers. I guess you can use fingers for the nail tip and acrylic portion. 3. You can actually use a bin/basket on your desk for all of your supplies. 4. Do not, I repeat, do not place your “trash” back inside of your disinfected bucket or whatever you’re using. Just tie the bag up and place to the side. 5. Using the hard fake hand is best. This way you can turn your hand around when finished. 6. When applying cuticle cream use an orangewood stick with twisted cotton on the end. 7. When doing the massage they are looking for you to do the effleurage massage. You need to massage each finger individually. And lastly, If you fail, they do not tell you what you made mistakes on. One of the workers was nice enough to tell me how I messed up. There’s was just me and another female. She passed. She also set up her towels during the first part and she got all points. This video is amazing content and it did help me tremendously. I will still utilize this video as a reference point of studying. Best of luck to all you ladies and gents on your practical…

Hey Glam And Beyond, I just wanted to leave a comment to say thank you ! I passed with a 80% . So I went to Austin to take my test , I didn't know what to expect I was excited and ready to get it over with and nervous. I was doing good and felt relaxed then... they was standing next to me looking at my work etc. I lost 3 points on blood exposure but that was my fault . I was setting my table up without putting gloves on first but of course I had them on before my client (hand). I still don't know how I lost 2 points on tip application. I lost 5 points on the form part as well and I think that's because I was repeating a step because my nail didn't feel smooth and even so I was trying to over correct it. I earned all points on the other part. Anyways thanks again your video helped alot !

You make the mannequin hand look like it had natural nails so yes you add a thin layer of acrylic to the hand, that’s what our students do not sure what others suggest or do 😊

Yes add acrylic to create a free edge and it’s also easier to glue the tip and to place the form.

[@junebugandjohnnyass]

Would I still pass if I did a waterless manicure? The psi bulletin says "It is NOT necessary to perform additional or altered steps/tasks not listed below. Items NOT listed below are NOT rated during the examination." So that means as long as I 1. set up my table 2. sanitize hands 3. shape the nails 4. perform cuticle care 5. clean under free edges all in order and maintaining cleanliness I can still pass right? I just don't see why I would waste precious time during the exam with a manicure bowl and soapy water and stuff when it's not required for the test? Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi Yary! Tysm for this gem! I have a bit of questions that I need help with. The bulletin list cuticle oil. Should I use it in both mani and sculpt section? Also can I brush the cuticle oil directly on the nail or with orange wood stick? For the tip application am I required to use tips with wells? Should I lay down a towel in the general set up and am I allowed to keep it on the desk throughout the sections? Also I was taught that whatever we put in our general bag is what we are allowed to keep out throughout test is that true? I know it’s a lot of questions but I see it done so many ways and want to score well 😅

Hi Should I use it in both mani and sculpt section? *You can use it in both sections if you would like ….Also can I brush the cuticle oil directly on the nail or with orange wood stick? * You can brush it directly…For the tip application am I required to use tips with wells?* Honestly they do not care if you do or you don’t they won’t be looking for it… Should I lay down a towel in the general set up and am I allowed to keep it on the desk throughout the sections? * Yes you can just disinfect your station in between each section….Also I was taught that whatever we put in our general bag is what we are allowed to keep out throughout test is that true? * it depends on how you set your bags ? So you plan on putting everything in the general bag ? Everyone sets up the pre-exam set up bag different you saw what our student put out and kept the whole test and she had what was needed for each section in its own separate bag and kept out what she needed moving forward but would remove and discard what was needed. My advice is do not get confused by what you see different people do in different videos, do as you were shown by your instructor, the video is only a visual and to give you a sense of what you can expect but every instructor has the same goal/ idea in mind which is for all students to pass . Don’t overthink it I’m sure you will pass and with a great score good luck to you and everyone reading this 🫶🏼🍀🍀🍀

Se supone q haya tomado el examen ya, pero no he podido. De pensarlo me pongo nerviosa. Es q ya hacen 5 años q fui a la escuela, aunque ya llevo 24 años como técnica de uñas, pero en mi pais no exigen licencia. Y al mudarme a TX, no me sirvió nada de mi pais. Y tuve q volver a estudiar. Pero fui por poco tiempo, y ya la escuela no está, aunque ya tenía todas las horas. Y tengo nervios porque no me prepararon para tomar el examen. Ya tomé el escrito en septiembre y lo pasé con 82. Y por miedo no he ido a tomar el práctico. Si pudiera encontrar a alguien q me prepare bien para tomarlo. Aunque veo q muchas ven este video y lo pasan. Voy a verlo muchas veces jaja. Para ver si logro tomar el examen y espero en Dios poder pasarlo.

[@GlamAndBeyond]

Hola Pienso que lo más difícil ya lo iso que fue el written test, si ya tiene experiencia technica este examen va ser muy fácil , claro que si tiene que tener su kit bien preparado (tengo video enseñando que va en cada bolsa) y practicar los pasos . Nada de pensar que no va a pasar por que si lo va a pasar el examen. Suerte 🍀

This helps a lot (: I’m currently studying by myself for the written and should take be taking both tests around may, do you have recommendations on what chapters to really study on ?

Most of the chapters honestly 😭 for sure you will not get questions asked over the first four chapters and the last 3 chapters. Also review your rules laws and regulations book!

[@TeriSquari]

Ok so my question is... where do I find all these things to put in the kit?? My school is not providing a kit for me and most of these things I have no idea where to find. Like the dish she used for the powder and monomer. I have NEVER seen that outside of this video. Someone HELP! I'm so lost.

[@GlamAndBeyond]

Hi Most items can most likely be found at a local Nail supply store a store where most professionals or students would buy supplies your other option would be Amazon . 😊

[@courtneyrussell2643]

For manicure part where you clean under free edge with cotton tipped wood stick can the wood stick be pre rolled with cotton or i have to put cotton on right then ?

[@GlamAndBeyond]

Mmm I don’t know if they will look that close but do as you have been trained by your school.

[@huynguyen8502]

I follow the link you gave in the description box to buy a mannequin, but it does not have the nails on like the one you use in the video. Should I put the nail tip on and keep it for my practical exam?

[@GlamAndBeyond]

You have to put tips on it with a very thin layer of acrylic over it , make it look like natural nails so do not make them long.

[@lillianbriones4494]

Some questions :) when was she suppose to use the nail brush and why leave the cotton out after the manicure service? Also is there anything wrong with laying out your tools on the towel for each service in the order you will use them? Thank you a million times for this video. ❤

[@GlamAndBeyond]

If you add the soapy water that’s when you can than use the brush, the cotton can be left out to use as needed (in case you would like to clean the nail with alcohol) not everyone does. Hope that helps 😊

[@RussellFerro]

Hi! Can we use a Q-tip to apply cuticle cream, and also to clean under the finger nails? Or do we specifically need cotton and orange wood stick?

[@GlamAndBeyond]

None of our students have ever taken Q-tips , I would suggest orange wood sticks

[@RussellFerro]

@@GlamAndBeyondthank you

[@RussellFerro]

@@GlamAndBeyond can I wear gloves for the sculpted portion? I know they're only required in the blood exposure section, but I'm battling some dermatitis, and want to be careful. If I sanitize my hands after removing gloves may I do it?

[@abigailcerna4852]

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know I took my test 07/01/2022 and I passed with a 76% … my trash bag kept falling off the table so I recommend a big trash bag that touches the floor.

[@candicecarruthers2417]

Do you actually need a piece of the cuticle when nipping during the manicure section?

[@GlamAndBeyond]

All of our students do it🙂, have you asked any of your classmates or instructors for any feedback or recent grads that have gone?

[@spicyfriedchicken]

Hi, as for the hand can we use a silicone practice hand or does it have to be this stiff hand i see a lot and use at school?

[@GlamAndBeyond]

As long as it’s not the “practice hand “ you should be fine it specifically says it on the psi packet .

[@MarleyLondonNails]

@@GlamAndBeyond I’m so confused because all the hands on Amazon say practice hand even the one in your video

[@GlamAndBeyond]

@@MarleyLondonNails what you are NOT allowed to take with you is called a Trainer practice hand most of them are brown and have attachable fingers on it, I am probably not describing it right but google it and you’ll see what I am talking it about. You can use a finger , or a hand that looks like the one on the video

[@jackelyncapps2245]

On the manicure section is the massage necessary? I do not see it on the psi bulletin that’s why I am asking.

[@GlamAndBeyond]

The psi bulletin is not very thorough as you can see, we have trained all of our students to do a Minimal quick massage. This is how they practice so the day of the test it’s natural for them.

[@audreyjefferson4203]

question, are the students taking the test making the decision to do sculpt or tip? I have heard people do a tip with acrylic application part of exam. I am an instructor & this is my first go round with a student taking the test

[@GlamAndBeyond]

No, they do a tip application only with no acrylic and they do a nail enhancement using a form , In Texas the student is required to do exactly what is shown in this video 😊

[@NailsbyDee_Mari]

My school is teaching us to do ALL steps of each service for the practical, I am in Midland Texas. Every video I’ve seen on KZbin (like yours) are only key points that they have on PSI exam bulletin. I’m stressing out so much because I’m completing my hours next week and I want to take my exams ASAP, please help me so I can calm my nerves

[@GlamAndBeyond]

Everything will be fine each school teaches state board different, if your classmates are taking the exam and passing with the way the school has been training them you have nothing to worry about 😊💕 all will be good 🍀🍀🍀

[@NailsbyDee_Mari]

I’m just worried that with all these extra steps like polishing after manicure steps and laying the acrylic on the top of the nail tip application and polishing I will not finish within the time frame I will get points taken off and fail 😭

[@GlamAndBeyond]

@@NailsbyDee_Mari polishing ? There no polishing involved ☹️ sorry hun but yes what you see being done in the video is what our students do and we have never had anyone fail 🙌

Hey girlie!!! So I took my practice exam at school today and I got a 90. My question is are we supposed to spray EPA before each service? Or even after we clean up? I didn’t see that reference on the video and my teacher took off points for that. But I will say your video helped me tremendously! Thank you very much for it

[@smu6629j]

For the manicure... I see you add the cuticle softener but do you use the brush before or after ? Also do you do cuticle oil at all or can I skip that ? Thank you so much for your video !!

[@GlamAndBeyond]

You can use the brush if needed after, also yes the cuticle oil is optional to use at the end .

[@callyn3]

Hi I was wondering during the practical do we need an actual person to do the manicure/tips on or can we use a fake trainer hand like in the video? I’m from Texas, I’m probably going to take it in Austin. Thank you so much, this video helps a lot :)

[@GlamAndBeyond]

Hi, The entire test must be done on a mannequin hand like the one shown in the video :)

[@coastalmoonsalon]

I'm confused. I'm new and just wondering if trainer hands are not allowed, why is there one in this kit being shown? Or am I missing something? lol

[@GlamAndBeyond]

The one shown is not the trainer hand they are referring to . The one shown is ok to take to the test. Most trainer hands are brown and you can remove the nail tips off the fingers individually hope this helps .

[@coastalmoonsalon]

@@GlamAndBeyond Thank you soooooo much! That makes sense! :)

[@Leah22774]

Hi I’m taking the esti and mani dual practical exam. I was wondering do you any tips or any videos recommendations with this. I watched both your esti and mani part. I looked around and found nothing.

[@GlamAndBeyond]

I wish I could do voice memos on KZbin, but both videos you've been watching will 100% help you and expect to do just that, the only difference for you is there is no pause between both practicals... you will start with the nail portion first ...set up..mani..tip application..sculp..cleansing..steaming..massage..mask&moist..waxing..blood exposure. yes I do recommend you take two separate kits "boxes" one for the nail portion and one for the esthetician.. you will be basically setting up the station for the facial part during the Cleansing section of the test ...and yes it is enough time you just have to be focus..

[@Leah22774]

Okay thank you so much for responding

[@Leah22774]

Also when I’m Changing from the mani part to the esti part do I throw my hand away in the trash and start assembling the mannequin head

[@GlamAndBeyond]

@@Leah22774 yes you will get rid of everything you had from the nail portion

[@Leah22774]

Okay one last thing I’m sorry to be bothering you this much. On the manicure part of this video you do the massage portion. I don’t I’m looking on my psi packet and I don’t think that parts on there anymore but I’m not sure if u still do the massage. And I notice that she’s not Spraying before or after with epa . So we don’t have to do that if we pack the white towel in the kit??

[@demetriuswilliams2022]

Hi….I’m taking my Practical this coming Friday and I have one question. When prepping your practice hand do u just apply the tips or apply tips and acrylic

I took my practical the first time and failed by 2 points😭 My teachers took days to reply to my questions and weren’t much help, only AFTER my failure did they tell me to study this video. I’m retaking it next week and will study till then! Question, when you do the Nail enhancement, do you spray with resin activator after every bead??

Hi You do not need Resin activator for nail enhancement.. for the Sculpting section with form you only use Nail dehydrator and Nail primer . Watch the video at 27:00 to see that part . Hope this helps
