Pinkie White's

[Kim Lawless]

I've been practising my Forever French and loving it. However, although I butt the pink up against the white and then ever so gently sweep over the free edge, I end up with the white looking much less white than before I applied the pink.

doesnt it become white again after you've white blocked..? as long as the pink is just a sweep over the white then buffing with a block should remove it....but then hey...i trained in gel...lol xx

[Cathie!]

are you working your pink too wet which could cause it to blemish the white when you smoothe the nail?

 

[Kim Lawless]

pmsl.............Well, to be honest, I've not been doing any buffing as I've been applying it to tips. I was concentrating on getting my smile line right. I'll buff next time and see what happens. Thanks me darlin's. xxx

hiya chick, im no pro (well not yet anyway-yikes im corny)but what i do with l&p is put my bead of pink about 1-2 mms under white and press until it touches the white, then without hardly any pressure at all just feather it over the white (dont pull or it will become toooo thick) xx

That's exactly what I've been doing. I've just left it at that though as I didn't bother buffing and finishing because they were on tips. I just wanted to see if I could improve my smile lines.

Oh for Gawd's sake. See what that little mare Jac Extreme has started. I only asked a simple question, now she's got everyone on the case. PMSL. xxxx

kimmi
u will b suprised how much the white comes back to "white", once you've finished the nail upto a high shine.
when you've finished your white application, always turn the nail to the side and check to make sure that the smile line area is higher than the free edge.
that way u wont be taking excessive pink over the white.

Not been around for a while but had to throw this into the thread as Ive been trying this out since I saw it a GMEX.
Have you tried the "reverse application".
Its cut my time down and made a real difference to the sharpness of my smile line.
Never seen it before but have got to say it's pretty wicked.
You can apply the reverse technique to both full sets and backfill/infills.

Did anyone else clock it at the show?
