Competition - which tips to use?

[Gelly]

I hate tipping - always sculpt....... But I have to do Tip & Overlay if I am to enter. :irked:

I do have some tips, which I gave 'the sack' months ago:
CND Velocity
CND Performance

Of the two, which tip would you say is better for a competition? Easiest to blend etc.

If you think I should use something else (any brand) please advise me!

A quick question re Performance tips -
Would they need to be blended in a competition?
Is that even possible, as they have no well?

I am open to any suggestions.... Please help!

i'd recommnend you try some "Asian tips" they are the softest around and blend in with very few swipes, you can also adjust the c curve, (they are quite flexible) Entity tips are very nice, but overpriced and Asian tips are an excellent copy ... but a softer ABS plastic.
Why must you do tips ?

That was quick! Thanks :green:
Is 'Asian Tips' a generic term?.... Only asking so I know where to start looking.

The hands/nails- model you choose for competition should have as good a set of hands & nails as you can get them.
Are you looking after them well before comp. Regular mani's etc? Get those cuticle's into shape also.

From your 2 choices above.
Velocity tips are a good choice - Quick, easy to blend - Add your whites as normal.
But if you want NO blending go for -
Performance tips, if your model has those great nails/hands - No blending required.

If you think I should use something else (any brand) please advise me!
Practice heaps with your model before the competition with whatever tips you choose.

A quick question re Performance tips -

No blending required as these are for an already close to perfect natural nail...which should be all an even length if applying white Performance tips

Performance tips tend to taper in a little too much for comp work, you would have to build them out on the sides
