I'm fairly new myself, but complain when people don't critique my work, so thought I'd better practice what I preach, lol!

I would say that they are a little thick at the free edge, so maybe try to thin your tips a little more before applying product, this gives you more scope for finishing without filing through the glitter.

No impact on you work, but you have picked the two extremes as far as my personal favourites go with powders, lol. I LOVE Twilight, but find that intense pink is TOO pink for most peoples colourings and doesn't give as natural a finish.

Overall they are really nice nails!

ok...i dont do l+p only gel so here's what i see!

smiles are good,like the twilight, lengths good, shapes good, line of light / finish looks GOOD.

Not sure on the INTENSE pink...esp as the nail 'plates' look like they're kinda pink anyway.

Barrel shot - looks a bit 'untidy' underneath.

Hi There - 21-12-06, 11:18 PM

I rated you and gave you a 4 for length because they are consistent.
I gave you a 3 on shape... a little tweaking to do but not bad.
I gave you a 1 on sidewalls and edges... I can see a lot of debris that needs totally examing closley and cleaning up.
I gave you a 2 on Apex as they are inconsistent and you can see that in your light lines.
Finally I gave you a 2 on Smiles. Not consistent and could be way more crisp -(try dipping a cheap brush for glitters only into scrubfresh for clean up of the smiles before you add zone 2 and 3)

Way to go for putting yourself against the wall and good job!! oh one more thing.... way too thick on the free edge... they need to be half that thickness so pre tailor your tips!!

These look pretty good. I do like the length and shape and particularly like what you did with the smile lines. If I were to be brutal, the only thing that spoils the look for me is the pinks are a little too pink. From where I'm sitting it only seems to enhance the areas that have been heavily filed previously.

Otherwise keep up the good work!
And well done!!

Wowzers Thanks Guys what Excellent advice and critique!! thankyou for taking the time, i will take on board what has been said and definately put it to practice before my next critique pic, as for my own nails i tend to be a bit harsh on my own! hence the old rings of fire!

Thanks again

I think you've been hanging out in my school, almost word for word what I was thinking as I was looking.

Good work and here's to an even better job next time!!!
