Brave day-crushed shell

These are done on myself. I did tip & overlay since I usually sculpt (ok I admit I sculpted the other hand). I'm not that happy with them but oh well.

I think you`ve done a good job the only thing i would of used a little bit more shells, as from experience a client will moan about seeing their own nail through the enhancment.I could really rate the apex cos couldn`t see it enough. well done for using tips i only scuplt myself too

That's exactly why I'm not happy with them.
The sculpted ones are acutually better I think, even though it was done wrong handed. I think that tiny bit of extra product made all the difference.
I thinned & thinned, but still think it adds thickness.

Ooh, I look like a real miser. I marked you 3 for all except apex for which I gave a 4 based on the thumb only (as you can't see the apex in the others).

I know it is difficult to work on yourself but the length and shape are a bit inconsistent. The index finger looks nicely square/squoval but the others are quite rounded with the free edge being a bit wobbly.xx

You've made me paranoid now. I'm acually sitting with a ruler try to figure out if the lengths are consistant. Haha the pointer finger is a bit short but the others are ok.

They are all pretty much dead square (just corners softened a tiny little bit), but the pinkie is a bit rounder & the pointer is bit lopsided.

Just been examining the picture & have seen that the shape of the middle finger looks completely off, but in reality it doesn't look like that.
And I thought I'd finally taken a good picture.

Nooooooo, no, no, no, no, no. Don't be paranoid. It's just one photie so I judged based on what I could see in the one pic, lol.

I think I'm going to go back to bed now. Very tired. Up much of the night as my 13yr old is quite sick, shivers, fever etc.... xx

I think I'll be right. This is the first pic I've taken where you can actually see the nail, so I'm quite proud. As we're all so fond of saying around here, practice makes perfect.
Thanks for your critique, hope you get a good nights sleep.

I really like these... yes, ok, so a bit more crushed shell would have looked better, but they look delicate and feminine with a sprinkling of shell as opposed to being dense with shells.
I would have made all of the natural free edges short as I personally don't like to see the natural free edge showing through a clear tip, but that's only my opinion I like the length of them too

You've got beautiful long nail beds. I think I might have used a different colour or maybebe more of the crushed shells. I think you should be proud of them.

The FE is as short as I can go, that's where the hyponychium stops on me. As Clara said a few more shells would have fixed that. I mixed the shells in with my gel this time, it's alot quicker then hand placing them, but you have less control over where the shells go.

Thank you. I have done them with purple ones before, but I wanted something subtle this time, and these ones are new, so I had to test them out.
They are NSI white ones BTW.

Look nice, can't really add more as others have mentioned what I noticed, eg, check length, more shells. But look good overall, well done!!!
