High arched nails

[lablondegeek]

I had my first client in yesterday who wanted tip & overlay with a very high arch in her natural nails! I noticed when I applied some of the tips there was no contact area in the centre...just at the sides!! Can anyone suggest good tips for an ocassion like this in the future???? My supplier only sells boxes of 1000 in that shape!!! I am not forking out for them as its not a regular occurance.

Why don't you try tips with no contact area at all?
They're easy to fit on most nail shapes. Just make sure you're using correct sizes.
Most professional brands have well-less tips nowadays.
I don't know about others but CND Performance tips are available in boxes of 100pcs so if you think you'll only be using them every now and then you don't need to buy a huge quantity.

Yes you could try CND performance tips or Velocity tips. The performance have no contact area, are pre-blended, so you just need to apply them, trim and shape! They are great tips, they come in boxes of 100's!

xxxxxxx:hug:

The tips I used were well-less. What I mean by no contact area in the centre is that because of the shape of the tip and the extremely high arch in my clients nails it was either contact from the tip to natural nail at the outer edges of the nail or contact just in the centre of the natural nail but the edges of the tip not touching the nail.....do you know what I mean? I am rubbish at describing things!!!!

I'm sorry I'm not sure what you mean now.. And it's not because of you being rubbish at describing things but because my English is rubbish:o

Is it curvy upper arch (sideview) she has or do you mean deep c-curve (down the barrel view)?
