Good thread...
In that is has shown how invaluable the advice of an Educator can be here on site....compared to someone who has had no formal training!
We really need to be careful on here geeks....
Yes, we all want to help, but if we don't actually KNOW THE FACTS then we can be doing more harm than good.
Sarah doesn't know about pinching...as she was not taught how to do it!
She also hates filing...because she was taught to sculpt with the brush not the file.
I am quite sure going over her manual...and the brush control turorials on here will help her to tweak the problems she is having with these flattish nails....and of course the good factual advice given by Envy.
