Black and White French

[kiwigirl63]

I did these on myself at the weekend and at first glance they look ok but overall i am not happy with them.

I love the black and white together and the products used was Young Nails.

Your comments appreciated

Thanks for all the wonderful comments guys!!!! I do think we are our own worst critics. :irked:

These are done with tips and so easy to do. Once you have placed the white on you then get your drill to crave a straight line, then get your file and give it a quick going over with that just to make sure the line is clean and crisp and then add your black. I have a client that is going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and she wants your nails done the same way except in white and lavender.

Well, I am going to critique them which is what you have asked for!

Your smiles on the whites could be much crisper and sharper both in the sweep of the smile and at the sides. Your zone 2&3 application looks good and nice and beveled towards the cuticle. Be careful not to get the 'parrots beak' syndrome when doing stilletto nails; your middle and pinky are verging on this.

Finally (and this is mho)... I think they would have been even prettier if... you lost the flower on the nagging finger and if you had applied the black tips with a smile mirroring the white as opposed to a straight line.

I love your idea though and think you have created what we should now call the Magpie Nail (or the Penguin Nail)... but I would love you to try my suggestion... asthetically I think it could be gorgeous!! :hug:

Thank you so much for that. I have a course of Friday called Flawless French so hopefully that will sort out these problems that I have.

I originally tried the black mirroring the white smile but didnt like it as much and the straight line.

Well good luck; I am sure you will perfect them - meanwhile thanks so much for sharing!
