Brisa - my 2nd only set

[Bev Rose]

This is my 2nd only ever set of gel nails - I'm using Brisa.
I've been an L&P girl for over 5 years

I have issues! I'm not good at getting the sidealls in without taking the ears off! Which has made me scared a bit about bringing them in.

I've enjoyed doing these though, I did a layer of silver shimmer over before the Brisa top coat.

I'm sure there are lots of comments about improvement and I'll be glad to hear them.

Well they look pretty good to me Bev - just think how you felt after doing your second set of L&P. You are too much of a perfectionist! A good perfectionist though :lol:

Why dont you think about using a paint on white then you dont have to worry about buffing the ears off.

my screen s not big or clear enough for a proper critique, but i can see enough to say you have lovely smile lines !

I did use the POW on my first set - after I'd took some of the ears off & tbh, I was not so happy with the smile - I couldn't get it 'crisp' enough as it seems a bit runnier?
Maybe there's a way of crisping it - I did try to swipe it with my gel brush, but no sooner had I done it then it started to 'leak' iykwim.
I guess it's the 'P' word (Practise) Trouble is, I much prefer to do my practise on paying clients - unknown to them. Normally this works very well!:lol:

[tracey louise]

they look gorgeous bev.
have you thought about using a dotting tool to apply pow with as i find this much easier than a brush as i hardly ever need to sweep the smile line as i can apply the pow exactly where i want it with the doting tool.xx

P.S. I think your smiles are beautiful. Have you seen this tutorial for using the POW? http://www.salongeek.com/misc-tutorials/18091-smiles-brisa-paint-white.html

I found this by accident and then used it on a bride I had. OMG...this tutorial is fab and so is the BRUSH. I highly recommend it! :hug:
