My first Critique!

Ok So i've only started doing nails again recently.. havent been charging and have just been doing friends and family for the mo cos I really have no confidence in myself just yet!!
I did these on my sisters friend this evening for her debs and she really like them but i know i made a few mistakes..
The length varies slightly between them and i know the forms are not quite the same but i think i'm getting there.
Love to know what you guys think

Dont hold back either I need to know what I'm doing wrong

Thanks xx

They are looking nice well done.

What I would say is they are a little fan shaped and need to be brought in at zone 1.
For me there is to much white they would look better if they were a little shorter.
I don't know if it is the photo but they seem a little thick in zone one.
The smiles are beautiful I do like them so much well done hun

they are good enough to be charging money...get charging.....you will grow in confidence when you start to see earnings coming from your time and effort.

Yeah they are fan shaped actualy.. Dam! I'm always afraid to file the side walls too much with a square tip incase i take the look off it! I'll try tapering them in just a little.. Thanks a mil

Its so good to have feed back from people who know exactly what to look for...
Thanks Bagpuss, I suppose i should start soon.. I'm not really brave enough yet tho tbh! Suppose i'll have to start someday!

Love ur smilies

I agree with all thats been said so far but would just like to add something. the ears ... think thats what you call them(gone blank,lol)... need to be sharper and go into more of a point. to me it looks like your white comes in at a 90 degree angle for a few mils then you go into your smile which makes your nails look a bit box like if you know what i mean.
you should charge, even if you just cover your costs of your products.

i think that for a new comer they are lovely, much better than some of the nails produced by some salons by me get charging darling. x
