Nail pics, only 3rd pic, gently please!

I mentioned last week that I had a client who wanted a design to match a black and green dress for her Xmas party.

This is what we came up with. I was really pleased with the results actually even though we used a gorgeous purple for the background. She brought the outfit and shoes with her and it all went really well.

Let me know what you think!

I am going to offer my opinion based on the idea that you are using gel here and not polish. You didn't say.

The little finger on the left hand appears to have a dip in it just before the Apex which is quite noticeable. Also, the line of the purple colour around the cuticles and side walls appears to ve quite uneven on a few of the nails.

Please don't take this as nasty criticism, but I myself have learned that when using deep colours, you need to create a crisp and even line so that the overall appearance is neat and professional.

I have to admit that the purple colour is gorgeous!

These were done with L&P and polish, sorry I didn't say! I can see what you mean with regards to the dip in the pinky.

I don't take this as nasty criticism , only constructive. The polish is lovely isn't it! I can assure though that the overall effect was very neat and the lines were crisp. Not blaming the camera though .

I certainly will take your responses onboard and be very aware next time I use a deep colour.

Thanks! Teri x

I agree with Tracey, the apex placement is not very good, and with strong colors this is even more noticable. Also the shape of the nails is not very consistent, some look kind of squoval and some look rounded. The color line next to the cuticle is very important, but it takes practise. Work at it.
P.S.- The "smile line" box is not relevant and you shoudn't of ticked that box.

Absolutely love the choice of colour you've used and the design is cool too. The only thing I picked up on was that the polish seemed a little too far away from the cuticle which tends to give the nail a bit of a false look IMO.
Keep up the good work though! Your doing just fine!!
