Long nails

[Dol]

Hi just wanting some advice on the location and size ratio of the stress point in long nail enhancements, and by long I mean a free edge of more than an inch.
Thanks

For really long nails, you have to really make sure the point where tip meets natural nail and the whole middle going vertically is STRONG, especially if they're the rectangular shape and for daily wear.

Thanks for that. So with the middle vertical section should I keep it thicker till just before the free edge?

When I used to do 2-3 inch nails, at the tips I usually apply the bead in the middle and feather to the sides. Picture building a spine for the long nail.

Yep... I can visualize that. Thanks
