It's uploaded now


It's always a bit nervewracking posting your first pics for critique.
They are a workable length and not too long, the shape is inconsistent but nothing that a bit of work with a 180/240 grit abrasive wouldn't sort out, the same as the sidewalls, some of them are too wide, the index finger being the one that stood out to me more than the rest. Your apexes are again a tad inconstintant too, this will come with practice and a bit more time. The smiles need to be a bit more smiley and consistent, again, the index nail is the one that stood out more than the others.
It takes time to get consistency across a whole set, have patience and practice as much as you can and you will see a change in your work. This is your first set of sculptures, you should feel proud.
Well done for posting and keep the pics coming, you'll see improvement in every set you do

edit: where do you feel you could improve?
It's always a good thing if we can see where improvement needs to be made, we can then concentrate on those areas and feel proud when we achieve it.

I am in no position to give a professional opinion at the mo so i haven't put any scores.
I think they show a lot of potential.I think you should be very pleased with your first set.

don't want to repeat everything Sandi has said but must say your zone 3 looks very good...flush and no flooding.....also the finish is quite smooth...doesnt look like to many lumps or bumbs.....to be honest i think the things that are not right with them are just down to inexperience and will come with time.

well done for posting your first pic...x

Firstly well done for being brave and posting The nails look a tad thick at the edges and need to be slimmed down at the sides, You have got a nice smooth finish and they dont look bumpy.
Thanks for sharing

I think for your Ist attempt they look pretty good. As lellipop said they look a little thick but over all excellent work..I think gel is harder to get the hang of than acrylic....keep up the good work,& remember the more you practice the easier it becomes.....
