Pretty in pink pics

I did these today. The lady loves pink and asked for something a little different.

The picture is a bit wobbly though, sorry!

What do you think, am I getting any better?

Thanks Sam, it's a shame that you can't see the tiny little dot of silver glitter on the design as it really made them sparkle.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply

They look very pretty! I love the pink tips. I just did my mums similar with pink crushed shell tips, very shocking, but pretty all the same.

I love the crushed shell, with a bit of practice its quite easy to use. I wanted to see what each colour looked like in finish so did each toe in a different colour ( didnt look that great actually)

I'll let you into a little secret (but don't tell) I've never used crushed shells yet!

Nice design, I think a closer view of the nails would have been better to be able to offer critique.
The apex is too high on the thumb on the right of the pic, it could do with being reduced slightly IMO.
I'd have liked to have seen the smiles smiling a bit more, they seem quite straight, but that might be part of the design.
Well done Teri, keep the pics coming

You are the second person to say that about the smiles.

They were meant to be dead straight across but actually I think this was a mistake on my part because it shortens the length of the enhancements.

As for the apex on the thumb I was pretty pleased with that, that's why I ask for critique so I know where I am going wrong. God bless you for truthfullness, I would of carried on piling the apex in a place as far as Narnia if I had not received your comment.

Lovely nails and art but I think that the apex so far as I can see on both thumbs is too far back and too high, a little less product would probably sort that or in the mean time a little more finishing to get rid of that hump for a more realistic look.

I would like to see a side view of the rest of the nails for your apex location, because if you are placing all of your nails too high, it can be sorted in a heartbeat with the right instruction. xxx Let us know and we can help
