Caught my nail in the drawer and ripped off my whole nail extension (suppose it shows it wasnt too heavy), nail was so tender i've made my first attempt at a sculpt, whaddya fink?

I used clear powder as i dont have any white, needs more shape and a better apex but as a first ever attempt?

I think you did alright for your first attempt! I'm just starting to learn sculpting myself, like you said, just needs abit of shaping, maybe just a hair more pink. Nice job!

Well it does look like a first ever attempt!!

The same things that are not acceptable with this nail (shape, surface smoothness, form etc) would not be acceptable with a tip and overlay either.

Always best to go on class and to learn the basics of doing it right. Not that I have anything against 'having a go' but I'd want to learn the basics first, then I would at least have a fighting chance of getting an adequate result. Attend a class and keep trying.
