The picture is very blurry, but from what I can see they are a very good first attempt. I personally think that the white is a little too long. The tips need to be tapered in a little at the sidewalls.

But as I say as far as I can see you have done very well xxx

I regret hun, the picture is fuzzy...
But what I can see, is nice try for a first attempt on yourself.

They are a bit wide at the free edge. Try to bring those in a bit. I think they are thick, but can't be sure.
the smiles.. those are tips, are they not? They are a bit low, making the nail unbalanced.

Otherwise, keep it up.
Keep sharing!

They are white tips yes. I can see what you are all saying, I do need to taper them in a bit at the free edge.

Hi, well done for posting your pic for a critique! Your pic is a bit blurry, but the 2 things that jump out at me are that (1) your white is too low making your nails look stumpy and (2) they are too wide. The second point is very easily fixed - just bring those sidewalls in!

I think the length is lovely, but if you take it down a bit you will make your nail beds look longer because you've reduced the amount of white - do you see what I mean??

Overall, well done for putting the pic up. Tweaking those couple of things will really enhance the overall look......

I hope I've helped!!

Hey thanks for your help I do agree that they look a bit wide. I'll practice bringing them in at the sidewalls.

Well done for your first attempt on yourself! I agree that the sidewalls are a bit fan shaped your smilelines are good too.but think they`re a bit thick.
A tip for taking a pic close up is to use the macro facility on your camera/ phone its usually like a little flower hth

For a first go on yourself that really isn't a bad job.

You have done a nice sensible length, the shape could do with narrowing down a bit, smile lines are pretty good, just a little too far down the nail plate for my liking.

Although the picture is a bit blurry, from what I can see, not bad at all.
Well done.

Hope I wasn't too harsh.
You brave little soldier!!!

I can't really add to any more of the critique you have already had but just wanted to say that for your first set on your own nails I think you have done really well.
