Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....

personally, I didn't like the pictures on the home page because they were totally unbalanced in terms of nail bed to free edge, extending the nail bed to make them balanced would have made such a huge difference IMO.

Not sure I like flared nails at all...no matter who did them, they scream fake to me. (I'm even one of those "fake" americans) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and while I don't like them because they look unbalanced to me, they are not horrible, I'm sure they took quite a bit of work and talent.

I guess I'm old and stuffy, if they are going to be worn all day, every day, they should look as natural and flattering as possible. If they are going to be arty, or outrageous, they need to be over the top! 3D fantasy competition over the top!

MY TURN, ME NEXT, ME NEXT!!!!

First of all there is trendy and there is tacky,
Trends start in the UK and Europe..........and....... that's as far as I'm going with that comment.

Although there are a couple ideas on that site that have flooded my creative side with new ideas, I must agree with our hugely talented techs in The UK and the rest of Europe......WHAT THE HECK IS WITH THE FLARE????? Good god what is this world coming to.......oh please please can you give me a FULL SET OF FLIPPERS!!!

Relax! - 26-03-08, 10:48 AM

FRANKIE SAYS RELAX!

PLEASE PEOPLE, DO NOT TAKE WHAT I SAID AS AN INSULT! IT WAS NOT INTENDED AS SUCH! I'm just a n00b, I don't want hostility Like I said, I didn't say there was a complete absence of talent in the UK. I said that I just haven't found it! I'm sure that you ladies do excellent work and I'm sure I'll see it when I have to pour over the galleries. CAN WE BE FRIENDS?

I guess I'm alone in that I actually like the flares I like the stilettos too.
To each their own I suppose!

My nail art isn't perfect but is at least balanced and not flared.

I did do a nail art course and have done an EZ Flow Design course which specifically shows you how to use colours etc, but they don't tell you what to design, you do it yourself and let the creative juices flow.

As Geeg says, you are either artistic naturally or you have to work hard at it, art can be taught, but you will never have the special something that makes someone go Wow!

Just play and have a go at designing stuff. You are the only person who limits what you do.
btw I was just about to link to your site, Wendy I've got a chocolate cake for Sunday (remember who I am now?)

Have a hug from me

We're not a bad bunch!

The world would be a very boring place if we all liked the same things don't you think!

The nails on that site have had an awful lot of hard work put into them, but it's not a style much 'appreciated' to a lot of peeps. I suppose it goes against our teaching grain!

Enjoy having a good look around this site, there is some stunning stuff to be found - make yourself a flask of coffee & sarnies - you'll be here awhile!
