Hi all
I really really love my Brisa, however I'm having trouble with my Opaque pink coverage.
I'm sorry I do not have a photo so will just have to describe for you.
I did a set of nails last night and I really was not pleased with the finished look. My client had very short nails which were also very wide but very flat. I used clear tips, Brisa Soft white gel for the tips as she wanted a natural look. I did great smile lines and placed higher up the nail bed in a more desirable position. I used the warm pink opaque for the nail bed. When looking at them you could still see where her nail ended and there was a difference in colour of the pink until the white tip . It was like a shadow in the pink. I did two coats of the pink but still didn't help especially after filing. Is this what I should expect and am I looking for too much perfection? Should I have brought the white tip down even further to reduce the amount needing coverage? And is soft white not a good colour for this type of work?
Like I said I love my Brisa and feel I do good sets of nails but these nails were a big challenge and I really didn't like how they looked, because they were wide and I really tried hard not to make them look like shovels. my client (a friend) seemed happy but I just am not happy and she's now on holiday so I can't even get her back in to change them. I'm wishing I just stuck white tips on now as I'm not sure what would look worse! :'-(
Any advice greatly appreciated
