Smiles...straight or curved ?

[BellaMia]

Which type of Smile line do you do or prefer? Doing it straight across or curved hence the name SMILE line.

I like a nice gentle curve. GMG says in his tutorial that it should mirror the shape of the cuticle area, adn that's what I like. I really don't like the excessive grins! But that is just my personal taste, and those that do them I take my hat off to, cos it's damned difficult.

I like them to smile but not like a cheshire cat. The deep smiles look lovely on long nail beds, but for the majority a happy one is flattering. Do not like straight ones because they don't look natural!

Take care xx

a nice contented smile is my fave
if the smile was straight across with no curve it would be 'expressionless' wouldn't it? :wink2:

I would dearly love my smile lines to smile - but after 2 weeks practice, they are either straight or frowning!! I just can't get those corner bits..........keep practising I tell myself!!

A nice gentle smile for me. As someone has already mentioned, we were told on our foundation course that the smile should mirror the curve in the cuticle area

I do like mine smiley, and sometimes i am really grinning, but mostly just happy. I wouldn't go for staight as they look weird and unnatural

My natural smile lines are flat so i like a bit of a curve to mine just makes them look more feminine, havent found a client who likes a straigh smile yet though i am sure there are some out there. but cant stand the deep c smiles although i can see theya re very clever in the right scenario.

A nice natural looking smile looks great on anyone,,,,,,,,,mind you, my two little pinkies have a completely straight natural line, whereas all my others have a gentle arch,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,freaky or what.

I usually use my natural smile lines as a guide, they are a mild smile, sometimes e make them more deep but i prefer the gentle ones.
