Multi coloured glitter french
Bev Rose
15-01-08
This is my very first attempt at the stiletto style, I've been meaning to have a go for ages.

Had a play with a few glitters too for a different look than what I usually wear.

Found the stiletto shape a bit of a pain as these are a rebalance from squovals!

they are really nice bev.
i think to go stilleto the shape needs to be a little more extreme, but that is quite hard unless the nails are a bit longer.
i also find that doing stiletto on my own nails is much harder than doing them on someone elses.
what i do now is draw on my nail with a soft pencil , starting at the centre of the eponichium a line down to the centre of the tip. then i file the sides so that they come in evenly[almost at a 45 degree angle] and meet at the point,. the pencil then comes off with a bit of a buff , and you are ready to carry on. this helps me a lot coz i think you get a bit of a distorted view when it comes to the shape of your own nails because you can never get a perfect angle to view them from.

Thanks for that Susan, I'll look at that, cos I sure they'll be the odd wonky one! I'll use on old makeup pencil & keep it in the salon incase I get asked for these....which is usually the case when you wear something I find.
