what really helped me was sams tutorial on here. (in the tutorials section) i printed it out - then i went out and bought some purple powder (from the mosaic collection) and some cheap nail tips from boots.
i just practised and practised my smiles on the cheap tips - by using the purple powder it made it easier to see where i was going wrong. i also numbered them all and could definately see an improvement. xx

thats a clever idea rach !

I must try that.....need to get better on the old l+p got lazy with gel !

This is a fantastic idea.... I have also used this idea to practice zone 3 too..... with students that don't think they touch the skin! With black powder you KNOW if you're leaving a free margin or not!!

Sorry i've been slow to respond to this thread guys... I'm going to do a step by step of the french enamel thing soon xx

I've been doing L&P for more than 6 yrs but never get asked for P&W. But did last week , they were C**P. So it was out with the tips & practice,practice. They are starting to look respectable again. I use bright colours to practice too. I did mine with bright blue & I've gotten sooooo many comments.

What is P&W short for?
