Beginner advice

Hey everyone new to this sub and new to lashes. For backstory I’m doing a course online purely to learn the basics + business training and WHS and receive my cert and have mostly been practicing myself with advice from one of my lash techs that’s also an educator. However while i’m confident in terms of understanding the process I’ve really really struggled with using mannequins as the lashes are very difficult to stick to and was told by my lash tech that this is normal as the mannequins have plastic lashes and real lashes are easier to lash. I do not feel confident enough yet to try on a friend, even though they are excited to model, any advice for in the meantime?

edit: In case you ask about my glue, i’m using Meraki’s The MVP which was recommended to me by my lash techs and has a 1-2s dry time and is pretty forgiving in terms of temp and humidity. The slower dry time is very helpful for correction but with plastic lashes I find it works against me and one small bump and they slip out of place.
