Blending Tips

[Claire83]

I have mentioned in a previous post about a whitish area above my smile line when blending in tips. I have placed a couple of photos in my album, so I hope you can advise now after seeing it.

The problem I think I'm having is with my blending of the well. I am practising with full well tips and I can't seem to get them to look right.

Please excuse the cuticles etc of the nails, I'm mainly concentrating on my blending here.

Please help! Thank you.

Hi Hun,

It is a fantastic tutorial and should help you loads,
I printed copies off and kept them to hand near my nail table to practice as I read.

Hope this helps x

as far as I can see from your pictures, the whiteish areas are air bubbles where the tip hasn't been stu=ck on correctly, work on the angle that you apply the tips.
Many people apply pressure when putting on tips, but apply the pressure in the wrong way and lift the end of the tip.

PLace the tip, then angle down until the nail is a consistent color, then maintain that pressure until adhesive is set.
