Very nice, I like them a lot, very eye catching - we'd definately see you coming!!!!:lol: :lol:

 

[Vitochka]

WOW!!!!.....i like them much more with added black colour!!!!! Really classy looks for me! remainds me of true ghotic stainedglass window or mosaic..!!!:Love:
What a change!Amazing work!!!

 

[michelle g]

very nice definately stand out.

 

[Tsia]

Yes good, and much better with the black now. xxx:green:

 

[VHunter]

Much improved!!
I also love the black, it adds a bit of dimension to the patches. Much more striking effect :green:

Although, in all honesty, I'm not one to pick on other people's smiles:o
While I can tell what is good and not, my french's are the pits (imo lol)
But, I do get better french's with polish than with gel. Go figure. No idea why that is:irked: I'm an odd bird.

Thanks again for sharing and PLEASE what is your secret to those c-curves?
I've got two more guinea pigs for sculpting and want to get that beautiful c-curve.
SHARE woman! LOL:lol:

hi everyone, thanks for your feedback this trip around. i know they look much much better now...dont know what i was thinking before .. maybe cuz i did them in the wee hours of the morning:smack: anyhoo, emma they would look smashing with glitter, i do have glitter in the collection but i did not want to use them this trip maybe next set. maybe you can do a mix with glitter and plain coloured powders.. lets see those okay


okay victoria i know i got me some wikikd curves!!! and the secret to my curves is that i am a jamaican and we jamaican women are famous for our curves:lol: .. seriously though, i just make sure the form is fitted and shaped properly on the finger and i also pinch my curves before the acrylic is set to get the curves but you must pinch when it is almost set and then you pinch from where the freedege meets the nailbed at the corners and you pinch gently straight through to the very end of the nail tip using both your thumbs inverting them to fit the sides (just like tammy taylor shows us. or in the ez flow video) its not that difficult really, just try and pinch gently and consistenly from top to bottom.

HA HA HA HA AT CURVES:lol: :lol:

Unfortunately, I do UV Gel, and can't figure out how on earth to 'pinch' that, know what I mean? But can I see the link for the video anyway?
Maybe if I pinch the form itself as the nail gets 'flashed'? Wonder if that would work?

I love the abstract design, with all those lovely colours!

Speaking of evil monkeys: those buggers gave the cat a haircut this morning while I was taking too much time to wake my arse out of bed. Cat fur all over the bathroom and stupid critter didn't even yowl or meow to call for help.:irked:
