[sambam]

Hi guys! Just plucked up the courage (and figured out how) to post a piccy of a set of nails i have done on my mum. I know i need to improve my smile lines looooooads. Anything else you think i need to change etc please tell me.
(Sorry about the quality of the pic). Thanx!!!!

They look nice Sam, only being a novice tech myself I find it hard to give any critisism be it constructive, but as far as I am concered they look lovely.

I just noticed you live just down the road from me too

Hi ya

They look really good!! excellent in fact. A couple of things i noticed though if you don't mind my saying.:o .. the line of light is a little out which means your c-curve or upper arch (which ever terminology you prefer) is not quite there.
Also could do with slimming the side walls slightly. the length looks really good,

An altogether great set of nails IMO

Thanx! i think your nails look lovely.

Oh yeah cool! You are lucky enough to live in Tod though- Rochdale is such a dump! x

Hi Sam,
A great set of nails, it takes courage to post your nails on here, I know I posted mine yesterday.

A couple of points, they look a lttle flat ( no apex) and seem a bit fan shaped, so you could bring the sides in a bit.
Well done mate.

Thanx very much! it means so much for you all to tell me what you think. I always wondered how you achieve the perfect line of light- thank you for helping me. I dont mind you saying at all- keep em coming!!!!!!

They look nice this is all I can say as I am new to this as well but I am sure you will get some great feedback on them I did when I posted my daughters nails I did. The more I looked at my daughters nails and the more feedback I got I could see the points that were being bought up it was great to get the feedback off the girls.

would agree with this totally; look again at your pic closely and see where the light is landing... should be in the middle. Tips could be tapered more, thinner and more work on the whole enhancement as a whole... but let me say this... the cockles of my heart are warmed by the sheer LEAP IN BETTER ENHANCMENTS posted... than EVER before... keep it up... they WILL be great :Love:

 

[sambam]

Thanks guys!

Yeah im seeing it now- i did think they looked flat but didnt know how to remedy it!

How do I build up the apex without it looking like a blob! i seem to have this prob- whenever i try to do it i either flatten it down again or looks ugly! x

Think of a half moon on its side - thin to thick to thin again.... buff but keep looking down the barrel so you can SEE what the shape will be!! Great job!
