They would look so much nicer if you made the white free edge a lot shorter by at least 50%....the ratio of pink nail bed to white free edge is totally unbalanced, how did you do a full set in only 45 minutes?

The free-edge is way to far down the nail bed and the nails look very hippy at the sides. Tell me your 45 min secret lol

I agree smile line is too low, white needs to be ½ of what it is now and more of your pink will give you a much better balanced nail.
But how do you manage in 45 mins??? What is your secret????
Keep going you will get perfect nails soon.

I agree with everyone there is just too much white which makes the nails look very unbalanced.

i agree that the smile line is too far down the nail bed. i dont think the white free edge is necessarily too long, i think if the smile line and apex were placed correctlly and the shape was more consistent this length of free edge would look fine.

This is true but given the shortness of the pink they still would look much better if the white was shorter.

I agree with much said so far. They would look much better if the white tip was placed further towards the natural nails free edge. You'd get a much broader and more useful critique if you post pictures showing all the nails from the top and side views as well.

I was taught (many, many moons ago) that the white should never be more than 1/4 the length of the nail bed. I think you did a lovely job but they would look nicer if the white were shortened. Keep up the good work.

I agree with everyone here although sometime's it can be hard even though you think it's just a matter of looking at the nail but it's not.

Mine sometimes end up like this but i only do them on myself.

The shape and finish looks v.good but wow how did you do them in 45mins?
You did prep right??

It's great only taking 45 minutes if they look great but will they last long and how long till they start lifting would be interesting to know.

Keep up the good work.xx
