She painted the red around the well (not in the well) before applying them, so that it was easier to avoid getting polish on the fingers.

She did not paint them up to the free edge area untill after as this would have peeled during filing into shape.

Then filed into shape.

Applied product over the top.

It took about 45 minutes.

I'm sure that you can fill in the gaps and there are loads of different ways you could come up with to get the same effect.

Cheers for that Mike, I really love them and would love to a try at these

So is it basically tips and resin (with a twist) for a shoot?

From what I can gather, yes.
Perhaps someone else will shed further light on this.

I know Zoe comes on the site so hopefully she'll see this thread and be able to enlighten us all

I can't decide which I like more

the shoes or the nails

They are hot, drop dead sexy, and 'shicka-chic' as my french clients would say. LOVE'EM

I gotta try that, or a variation there of, they really are something!!

Cathie! · 08-03-07, 09:03 AM

It's great to see some positive nail news in a consumer magazine....I'll have to get that one today if it's still out and leave it open in reception

nailzoo · 08-03-07, 09:59 AM

it's such a simple (yet effective idea) and very original.....pre-coloured tips would make this a breeze. It's people that think like this that re-inspire waining techs, lets hope we now don't get drowned in this idea like basic 3D flowers .... ya gotta admit (those 3D flowers are getting a little wilted these days)

oey · 08-03-07, 10:04 AM

Well Carl - my opinion is that this is more wearable that the wilted 3d flowers so if it catches on it could be done to death! Especially with the current trend for colours instead of the french white fake look!

Would be interested to see any alternative takes on this look!

Burberry nails were done to death, I think the Louboutin is a bit more subtle and could be done a service using red powder to sculpt out the tip....as Kirsty suggested earlier....but even the Louboutin trade make....flash a bit of red as you walk, is getting a bit common now too....they're everywhere you look and so obvious jmho

Don't tell me you're a salon who doesn't have all the recent mags....it does make a difference, sad but true...clients waiting want to read this weeks goss not three weeks ago or older.

I agree Burberry are so last year

Thank God.
Are you saying my shoes are out of date already mate?
I would definately give this a go with the red powder and use L&P and then black enamel, also a rhinestone on the underneath of the ring finger.

Cathie! · 08-03-07, 09:29 PM

Well maybe I'm just off at a tangent here, but everyone in the mags are wearing them...I can't afford them but the fakes are out there already as in New Look.....just like the burberry was....

Even if I could afford them, I wouldn't buy them now because everyone has them and they are a bit common imo!!!

I think designer should be subtle...

An other designer that smacks you in the face and gets ripped off is Louis Vuitton...how obvious is his design?
