All in all not a bad job,
they don't look thick and bulky or ugly,
they are nice and flush in zone3,
cant comment on the apex with out a side shot,
they look like they have a nice shine and finish,
and your smiles are not too bad, you are getting there,
i can see one or two dips on a couple of them,
they are a pretty colour, hth

I think you have done a great job.

All in all your smile lines are good, just a bit of tweaking and that will sort them, remember consistency and you are there, there are some a wee bit higher than others.

There are some dips in the nails but get that solar oil buffed in to see your line of light and that will guide you as where to put or remove product.

Well done on posting, you should be very proud.

Thank you all very much for commenting I read your comments louby and fifi, and looked back at the nails and see what you mean about the dips. I really need to work on my smile lines now! I seem to have a lot more mix ratio control since seeing Kirsten from CND do a quick demo, amazing how it helps. I was quite pleased with you (louby?!) that zone 3 was nice and flush - at last!!! lol
Thanks again everyone xx

Be very proud of your zone 3 hunny, that is what a lot struggle with

Your smile lines don't need much work just a bit of tweaking, you are well on your way there. xxxxx

Don't think about doing a 1-1, just do it! I have done them often, and learn something new EVERY TIME!

As for your nails, you need to build up your apex- without this, your nail will have no toughness, and will not wear well. You have a few dips and curves in the finshed nail, and you want a perfectly smooth bridge, with the highest point (your apex) being direct center of the entire enhancement.
They need to be more tapered- when you file your sidewalls, hold the file as flat as possible while looking at the core/center of the board- focus on creating a line of dust that is perfectly straight!

Smile lines will come with practice- when you are in between clients, sit and work with them on a tip, over and over I also highly recommend watching the perfect smile line video on www.cnd.com- it's a fab learning tool, and I use it quite alot myself when I hit a wall The best trick is to TUCK the product and not SWIPE it for a crisp line

I also would like to see the smile line a bit lower, to slightly extend the nail bed appearance

All in all, it's an attractive set, and a good start! Keep up the good work, and practice makes perfect
