calling all L&P sculpters !

[jayneym]

Hi guys - just a quickie to sound out a little problem !
Havent sculpted for ages & am desperately loving getting back into the swing of it - only one thing - I'm not getting the tails on my smile line right cos they seem to be splitting right where they join the natural nail. Luckily I've only been practicing on myself but its really annoying me !!
What am I not doing / doing wrong ??
Help please
thanks all

It may be that when you sculpt the white then do the pink, that you aren't building a good enough apex, which in turn will make the enhancement weak. Plus i was always taught that you need to only have a very thin free edge to sculpt onto as it is usually easier to do. Pus you must make sure you pat the L&P on the sides firmly so that it adheres to the nail, as well as doing good prep.

Hope this helps.
