Gel French Overlay.
Gel French Overlay.

Gel French Overlay.

One of my younger sisters has the most divine long slender nail beds. Every nail techs dream . She is visiting for a while and I couldn't wait to give her a French gel overlay.

She has always been a bit weary that enhancements strip your natural nail. I assured her that if the job is done properly, she need not worry. She is delighted with the results.

Your honest opinions please peeps.

Thank you for you ratings. All much appreciated, however, how can I improve? For example, thus far I scored 3.25 for shape and less for sidewalls, whereas personally I thought it was more the shape which needed improving rather than sidewalls.

I also have a score of 2.75 for smile line. What do I need to do to improve my smiles. Comments welcome please. I won't be offended. I really would like to see the 2.75 become a 4.5 next time, but need to know what changes you think I should make to acheive this. Thanks xx

Tracey this is following on from your thread today about perfecting nails.
I have had a look at your nails and they are lovely but not sure if it is the photo but the free edge does not look consistent on all nails. Some are deeper than others and some nails are more oval than others.

The overlay is lovely and to an untrained eye, anyone would be pleased to have these nails so dont feel down because with a bit of tweaking here and there you will soon have a beautiful set of enhancements. I dont think you have far to go either but the perfection comes in the fine detail.

Good luck mate

hi ya hun i will try and leave comments but as my gel application is let just say PANTS i dont really feel like i can leave as informed comments as some gel techs can
the only flaw i can see (and i aint sure if its just the photos making it look that way ) is the ring finger with the flower on seems to have a slight dip where the flower is
, and the other ring finger where your white is on the sidewall just looks like it could do with another swipe with the file coz the pic makes it look like its just a teeny bit out

what a gorgeous shade of pink her real nails are.you have done some lovely work on them.i can see why she was pleased with the result.i too agree with the comment someone made in saying about the shape of the nails as i too noticed that some are ever so slightly more square than others. i would be very pleased if that was one of my transformations as im not as good as you yet.im just trying gel at the moment.great work.xxxxxxxxx
