Hi peeps,
going off the subject a bit here, but just an ickle tip for everyone.
When i teach my staff how to do the perfect french polish, rather than using those little white sticky tabs that leave gum behind on the nail, i save the circles from creative's performance forms and stick those on the nail so they can follow the perfect smile without touching the form.
Touching the form, or going over the form will make your smile line bleed & make you lazy, and also performance forms will not leave that sticky gum on the nail.
The circles you would usually throw away have a deep 'V' like smile line at one end and a 'gentle curved' smile line at the other, so you can choose what's best for your client.
Practise! practise! practise! and eventually, you wont need to use the tabs.
Hope this helps :thumbsup:
Lots of love
Nikki

I was taught this trick at school and it works like a charm.
With no base coat on the nail, polish the white with straight up and down strokes to the edge of the free edge (right angle to the free edge). Then take a small flat or angled artist brush, dip in acetone, and wipe the smile line into the shape you want. Then do the top coat in the clear or pale polish, over the white. Works every time.
