Use of colour looks really natural, and your smile lines are nice and neat.

Over all a nice natural look.
Good for you!

I think you have used the colour well. There are no obvious 'marbling' lines, which is hard to do at the beginning.
Colour looks a good match, a little orange/warm did you use the warm blend of GMG's recepies? It matches your skin tone nicely.
I'm wearing a custom blend at the mo with the 'cool quartz' blend.
Yesterday, i did a cbm using a pink blend, which was not obvious when the powder was in the pot, but you could see a difference between mine & my client when I had finished.
I have made up a large batch from GMG recepies, and I find I used the cool quite alot. Most skin tones match the premixed colours of GMG's i find, so it makes life easier!

Well done.

I didn't rate you for design, originality or apex placement as the thumb shot was not clear for apex and I don't think the other two are applicable.

However, the colour is spot on and I thougth the overall lenght, shape, side walls amd smile line were very good. Line of light was excellent too. Well done.

I keep looking at the pic and am trying to see what you all seem to be seeing....but i aint...sorry, i don't think the colour is right...its quite dark and almost tanned looking..especially in zone 2... everything else is lovely...but i think maybe tone down the orange/brown shades.

Hope i haven't offended you..xx

Angie I'm not an expert on custom blend, but her hands are quite tanned so I feel the dark colour tone of the nails works with the skin tone.

I think the colour of the custom blend looks a little like a fade, maybe due to the fact that the application near the cuticle is thinner.
If the allover colour was the same as the cuticle area it would be a nice shade.
The length of the pinky needs taking down a little and the middle finger needs to be buffed more IMO.
The cuticles need moisturising and then they would look a lot better.
Well done for posting your pics.
