I cant critique your nails for you, but I must say, for someone who 'has'nt got a clue', they look pretty darn nice to me!

whatever the mix is it looks really good to me. I'm struggling abit with the mix at the moment trying to get it right. I'm nearly there i think, adding a bit of this and a bit of that. what have you used?

emmysbabe, i must say your perseverance has paid off, they are quite nice, smiles are a teeny bit uneven but hey who is perfect certainly not me!! anyway the finish on them is great they cuticle area is neat and flows smoothly into the rest of the nail with no bumps and the colour is quite nice. i just love to see nice cuticles it does so much for the way the fingers look, even if the nail work is not that hot, nice cuticles make up for that. keep up the good work. you are on your way!!

OH MY GOD ...thankyou so much , for your replies,i think mabey i am being a little hard on myself after reading your comments ,i just get so frustrated when i know how i want something to look and i cant acheive it....
i was pretty pleased with these overall...but i know there is a long way to go before ill be able to do them on clients, but i will keep on trying
from far away they do look quite nice ,just the middle one looks weird....

i used nsi coloured powders,but i dont know how i came up with this colour to be honest,at first i copied a mix of the mixing chart...then just played around with it,adding some to my usual pink powder,
i feel quite chuffed now ,i dont feel like theyre as bad as i first thought lol
but any critasism (sp?) is still very welcome ,to help me improve xxxxxxxxxx
