These are my favourite set of nails... My own naked babies. I've been a horrific biter for so long but decided a few months ago to finally grow them instead of wear tips so with the help of shellac I've now some length..

For the geekies not in the nail biting know, the area from halfway down the nail plate that looks like lifting is Infact nail bed that is becoming newly attached, my old nail shape and size can clearly be seen.
Unfortunately as my nails are growing and because they are still trying to repair themselves they are incredibly brittle - my thumb nail shows this by its length.

I wanted naked nails for pro beauty :)

Not necessarily my favourite nails I've ever done but I always thought this was a nice set of short stilettos I did on Samantha for a photo shoot a few years ago now. I was quite proud of those sharp-as-a-razor smiles with red glitter and a custom blended ruby red mix with CND coloured powders. :biggrin:

Stunningly sharp smile lines! Beautiful :)
 
I'd say these are my favourite set of nails.
Although I did them aaaages ago and I can see many an imperfection, these were the set that started to get me more recognised and I saw a sudden increase in clientele! They're also a pretty good advertisement for the style of work I seem to attract in my area.

Sorry, would help if I added the picture :dummy:

87thepowderroom These are gorgeous! Your roses look amazing, can I ask how you did them? I just can't do it lol x
 
These are my favourite set so far. The photo was taken a week after application hence the growth. The additives had just came out and I remembered how excited I was to try this technique.

This set is one of my favourites. They are on my mum and since she has had them I've used Rosebud loads. It used to just sit on the shelf collecting dust.

You are too much of a perfectionist, you must have some that you've been proud of ?

Honestly? No.
But it keeps me 'hungry' to practise, to learn and to improve my sculpting skills.

I think i did some lovely things with Shellac, but i cannot find proud in that, because it's "simpler" to do ;)...
Sculpting the perfect nail, no matter from wich side i look at it ..... that will be my favorite set of nails. I don't care what color they will be :lol:

Thank you so much, the roses were done by using a dotting tool and making the circle a bit messy for the flower, then used a striping brush and made little 'c' shapes around a tiny dot for the centre of the flower. Then just some little green flicks for the leaves. Hth XxX

This is my favourite set and favourite colours. Sorry for this polish watermark, but I didn't find the original picture so I took it from my polish blog.
