Ok so I have been thinking.....//////big mistake! LOL!
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who agreed with me and geeg and the others from the pink & white thread from a few days ago. I wanted to encourage everyone to do pink & whites no matter what the "experts" have to say. It is easy to get caught up in looking at the pictures in advertisement, looking at comp nails, etc that you can become discouraged. Atleast this is how it affected me because I am prefectionist.
I was so fixated on the "SMILE LINE". (OOOHHHH...scary)...that I became literally depressed and down on myslef. I had it in my mind that they had to be competition style nails before anyone would pay money to have them done. Over here in the US it seems to be the big deal to have extreme smile lines. If I post a picture of my nails I get responses like....."those are nice.....they aren't competition .....but their nice". Comments like that really detered me from even doing pink & whites in the first place! Now I am contemplating competing in "salon success" category because that would be more up my alley. But I have a feeling it would still be that extreme smile that they are looking for even though the rules say they do not give extra point for extreme smile lines.
So, I guess I am just rambling........but here is a pic of a full set with OPI Perspective Tips and Young Nails pink & white with "finish" as the sealer.
Hope you like!
