Just make the smiles a little deeper and your nearly there!!:green:

They look very nice indeed and I can't find much to be picky about.

For full critique it is best to submit pics from different angles, ie side shot to show apex on all nails and a barrell shot to show the free-edge/c-curve.

Well done!

Hi Catrat05, overall the nails look good. I am assuming these are l&p.:!:
A couple of pointers for you:
Smile Lines - need to be crisper, rather than swiping smile line to clean - dry off your brush and gently push back and feather smile line into place, as the l&p sets up gently work the smile line and it will stay in place. Also ensure when using glitter that all is off the nail plate before adding zone 2, place zone 2 bead, press and gently feather over zone 1 so you don't pick up any glitter and spread into zone 2.

Mix Ratio - ensure you have the correct ratio, I can see some air bubbles (don't think it is the photo), this is caused from your mix ratio being too wet.

Apex Placement - The apex should be placed half way between the cuticle line and the extension edge line and then tapper evenly to all sides - Your apex's are closer to the smile line. To correct, ensure bead placement and bead remains in the correct zone. Zone 2 is your apex bead, place, press side to side and feather into zone 1. Zone 3 bead, place, press and angle around the cuticle line and feather into zone 2. Zone 2 should have the bulk of your product. When we work tooo wet we often wipe the product forward - watch mix ratio - oh so important.

Sidewalls - further refinement required, ensure you come straight out from the natural sidewall line (form finishing) and then tapper from apex to the sidewalls (shape finishing) this will slim up and elongate the nail.

"c" curve - make sure you check down the barrel of the nail and make sure your "c" curve is symmetrical, hard to tell from the picture but looking at pinky finger on models right hand I have come to this conclusion.

All in all a great job, trust the comments help:hug:

I like the colour and your side walls seem pretty good from this angel. I would clean up the glitters out side of the free edge. But I think over all they look pretty neat and clean. Good job :green:

Thankyou for your detailed tips, i can see what you mean and think that maybe i am concentrating too much on Zone 3 as i was having Trouble with lifting all the time and now i have lost my grip on everything else,

I Have to have confidence in myself.....i think this is a big downfall for me!

Thanks Again, much Appreciated.
