I really like these nails.
I love the colour of the zone 1....recipe please!!

The only thing that spoils them is that you can see her own free edge shining through on a couple..the thumb in particular.
Your zone 1 colour is translucent...that is why...so I would recommend you file away her free edge in order to use this colour.
As making it more opaque would spoil the colour.

Apex's all seem great...and zone 3s totally flush to the nail...beautiful.
Line of light....good!!!

As for the smiles I think they are as sharp as you will get using a natural colour like this...only the index finger looks as though it has a slight wobble!!
I think you have just made your smiles a bit too deep...and a more gentle smile would have suited better with this natural look.

Overall...for someone who is not confident with her sculpts you have done a fabulous job. Next time you should be confident!!!...and remember I want that zone 1 recipe!!

There has to be an easier way of doing this, but it was add a bit n try it, add a bit more of this, a bit more of that, lol!

This is what I ended up with-
150 Natural
30 White
20 Soft White
2 Samuels Custom Blend Base (that I got from his tutorial, thanx Sam!)
1 Golden Glass

As far as my own free edge coming through, I know exactly what you mean! The thing is, with me being new to sculpts, I worry about fitting the form if there's not a lot of free edge there. I've not sculpted anyone yet with little or no free edge..... Guess that's next on my list of things to overcome, lol!

I'm absolutely loving sculpting tho, I much prefer it to tipping, I think it is a much sleeker result. These are only my 4th set, but there will be more me thinks!

Thanx for your comments tho!

Hi, What measurements are you using?

I think the coloyr is spot on and will try it myself next time.

Cheers,

Hiya

It doesn't really matter what measurement you use, as long as you keep the ratio the same. Eg.

150 grammes Natural
30 grammes white, etc

or

150 teaspoons natural
30 tespoons white, etc

To give you a pot the size of the 8/10 oz pots of perfect colour I used

15 grammes Natural
3 grammes white
0.1 grammes Golden Glass etc.....

Hope that makes sense, lol, I'm not the best at written explanations....

H i Lisa,
I have to agree with everything izzidoll says, i think they look great.

The only thing i can see is that on one of the nails it looks like your very near to the sidewalls but otherwise there fantastic.

I really like these alot. The only thing i can see is you look as if you've applied to much procuct in Z2 on the middle finger. Otherwise they're beautiful.

I was SURE they were tips that hadn't been blended.

They are pretty darn good. I loved them.

NOW if only someone can give me a recipe for UV GEL to get THAT colour as THAT is the 'natural white' that i want!!!!!

Ill support that too!!!! I want that colour for gels!!!!!

they look quite nice, if you go for a natual color, why not do a natural smile, rather than wanting a sharp smile, soften it.
Nice set... well done

These look great, I love the way they are so solid around the cuticle area.

Just one thing love, the smile lines on a couple are a bit shadowy, like I can see a slightly different colour underneat, not sure why that could be?

Looking great. x

love these nails - the colour is excellent, you've done a really good job! xx
