My Second Set Of Gels!!!

Hello again everyone,

Well after all your great tips from my first set i thought i'd have another go today on myself......

So here you go i must admitt i personally think these are much better than the first ones but its only my second go so i will leave up to you, the experts

I'm not sure if i've got the right angles on th pics so if you want me to take more let me know, a few of the pics make the nails look they are filed wonky but i swear there not lol xxx

I dont do gel so cant comment too much,
they look really nice, i would have never guessed it was only your second set, if anything i would say they look a little flat and in need of an apex but nice work

sorry i didnt mean it to come out harsh,
im only jealous!!!
what i mean is, would you actually see many of your clients wearing these and keeping them like this for 3 weeks?
i would reduce the c curve,
reduce the length
just to make them a bit more wearable if you know what i mean

Kirsty I hate you!!
How come you can do such a fantastic set on your second go. They are gorgoeous, you will be competing in gel div 3 next I think
Are they tips or sculpts?

Hello kirsty these look visually perfect except the apex needs working on a little and they seem a little to long, but as jackie said a good set of comp gels. For everyday wear these wouldn't last me 2 days, mabe keep these on for as long as you can and see how they stand up to your every day life. I think the index finger will be the first to go

A beautifull set of nails you are doing a fab job well done you xxxxxx you can sit next to me in sep if you want to enter proff beauty gel

these are tips hun i haven't tried scuplt yet thought i'd practise this first and then move on to that as i'm abit nervous about sculpting with gel cos i cant control the product to well lol

i think they look longer in the pics tricky than they actually are they are shorter than the ones you did at the masers hun i will show you tuesday so you can see properly xxx

Hi Kirsty, I think that these look fantastic. Re. the apex, I got a tip from my educator as Ezflow gel is self levelling too, get your client to turn her hand upside down for a few seconds and it stops it levelling out too much, leaving your apex in place iykwim.
