Dont stress over it would be my tip, relax and develop your technique with your educator, then yes, you will be away....
Study great images of perfect competition smile lines and get it into your minds eye what a great smile line is to look like. Dont expect to master it straight away, but practice, practice and if you really want to master it then you will.
If you are applying product now successfuly as tip and overlay there is no reason at all why you shouldnt master smile lines, go for it..good luck x

Also, check out the smile line and custom blend videos at CND - Creative Nail Design, Professional Nail, Hand and Foot Beauty Products - Artificial Acrylic Nails and Brisa Gel. They do some FAB videos and I watch them all the time. Roxanne and Tiffany make it look effortless! Best of luck to you!

It is not easy when you start out!

I started out slogging through sets producing pretty dreadful smiles for ages! My prices were low but even then i didnt get many repeat clients!!
I switched to using white tips but overlayed them with white L+P instead of clear, it allowed me to follow the smile line and was a brilliant way to improve as the results were alot better for the client and i still got the opportunity to practice smiles. It also trains your eye over time to a nice deeper smile line. Eventually I dropped the white tips for natural without too much trouble!

Hope this helps, good luck.
ps. I also did my 'probation' sets away from home......just a 30 minute drive away just to make sure that my dodgy sets were not on my own turf! I would recommend all new techs do this if they can.
