View Full Version : Cuccio C curve tips-confused
I recently ordered some cuccio c curve nail tips, (im practicing nail extensions on family and friends before booking onto a course), and i thought that they would be tips that obviously had a c curve at the end (the part applied to the nail plate). both ends are straight and it says on the box 'exaggerated downward curve designed to enhance the natural nail' but in my opinion when applied to the nail it looks very un natural and stupid whether applied to long natural nails or short bitten nails. any advice? i might be applying these wrong but cant seem to find any information.

If they have an exaggerated curve, they are unlikely to look natural. It sounds as though you have tips that are supposed to give an extreme competition look. Its not a natural shape to have an exaggerated c curve.
They probably wont be very easy to apply to some natural nail shapes either. I would definitely avoid using them on bitten nails and anyone with flatter nails as the pressure of the shape may pull against the nail bed xxxx
