You're getting there and I think I can offer some useful critique.
One of the things that is letting this particular set down is that the tips you have used were probably a size too big on some nails (which when overlaid with product look even bigger) which would explain why the tips on many are too wide and bulky. The overall look could be improved from a 'birds eye' view if you did as beautification suggests, but from the side view and a 'down the barrel' view it would not look well, so best to start with the right size tips and then thin them down first before you overlay them and the result will be much more sleek and less 'fan' shaped.
Consistency is hard to master but easier when you have a solid technique. The surface of many of the nails is not smooth and rounded ... some are dipped in the middle and others are looking quite good so watch how you do the good ones and develop that technique ... it takes time and patience.
Why not take a few minutes to fill in your profile so we know how long you have been doing nails and what products you are using ... it is easier to tailor answers to fit YOU if we know a bit more.
The image is blurred so it is hard to comment on your smiles but you are certainly on the way with them and there is some consistency there so well done.

Thanks for the comments!
Gigi, I'm sorry to ask this because I know I should already know the answer but when you select the tips how do you know what size to pick? When I was at college, we were told to push it up against the side walls as far as it could go and then make sure it covered the length of the free edge completely.
Thanks again

My advice is always try 2 sizes until the time comes when you just know through experience which tip size by just looking. :green:
Often there are two sizes of tips that could be considered a FIT because they both enclose the free edge and they both appear to fit from side wall to side wall ... if you think one size fits, then just try and see how the smaller size fits ... often you will get a surprise and realize that the smaller tip does fit after all; If it does then go for it because by the time you add the product it will all fit perfectly and the result will look much more natural.
Obviously you can't have gaps down the sides but so many times the smaller tip will just make it and the product will do the rest.
