I was admiring the stunning work of the competitors at the Nailympics in this months Scratch magazine, some amazing work and near enough a clean sweep for Tom Holcomb.
If I turned the clock back 30 years, practiced night and day I don't think I could ever be anywhere as good as Tom.
Do you think that some people are naturally gifted or do you believe that we could all reach those standards?
Although I can appreciate the skill and technique involved in producing the nails shown on page 33 they are not something I'd like to have on the end of my fingers. My own personal preferred shape and length are those done by Gigi Rouse in the Fabric# ad. My clients, Mrs Jones, 3 children, does her own housework and shops at Tesco, and Miss Brown, thirtysomething works in IT, travels, drinks copious amounts of alcohol at the weekends with other thirtysomethings, wouldn't last 5 mins with those nails. I know it's been mentioned before but wouldn't it be nice to have another category for salon nails?
