My first bad "biter"

My first bad "biter"

This is my first set on a bad biter. I know they aren't perfect, could use some more filing, maybe a bit wide, look a little flat, etc. She has very tiny nails, so not much room to file. So what I did with her nails is, extend the nail with Akzentz warm pink coverage to hide the free edge and then put my white on to give the look of a longer nail. I sculpted these and they took me 3 hours. Which isn't bad, I thought, because of the extra work involved. This isn't my best work, but she was excited and very happy with how they turned out, and I guess that's what matters most. The link at the bottom is the before pic.

Thanks all.

Of course she was happy, nailbiters are grateful for just about anything. You have already critiqued yourself for many things (no need for me to carry on). Kudos to you for posting a picture, watch those cuticle areas also (keep the file flatter) and make em more tapered. I'd also knock off the glitter and nail art (there's no need for unnecessary attention for a "biter").

One thing I would like to congratulate you on first and foremost is the quality of your picture.

It's fantastic to see clarity in a picture from someone wanting critique/advice.

I haven't rated anything, but i'd gladly give you very high marks for photography

Keep on keeping on !!!!!

Thanks nailzoo!

She wanted some Christmas "bling" on her nails, tried talking her out of it (extra time on my part) but of course she wouldn't here of it (she's 18) so, I gave her "sparkle". Didn't really want to add "more" to her nails because they are already problematic, and soooo tiny, although it doesn't show in the pic.

Thanks for the great comments once again, I appreciate it. On the picture taking as well.
