How smiley should smile lines be?

[poshpinks]

Hi everyone i was just wondering if you can do you smile lines too smiley? As i have seen quite a few nail and their smile lines are quite straaight with a little bit of a curve yet i do quite smiley smile lines and I am now wondering if I should do less smileyness? Also do you ask your clients how they want their smile lines or do you just do them the way you do everyones?

I do mine differently with each client really.

If they have short nails i tend to do them less smiley and more like mirroring their own cuticle line. Otherwise they would look odd iykwim. Too much white and the corner going up the sidewalls too far.
If I extend the nail bed or they have long nail beds then I make them nice & smiley.

Hi, I did them only straight just now because i can do the smile line only with the dotting tool(i use gels) and with the dotting tool the colour comes thick and tend to chip. So I m using the brush and do 2 thin coats curing after each coat, like this they don't chip but i don't know how to do smile line with brush if someone can give me ideas please.

thanks
