Hiya ... they look ok for your first set...much better than my first set hun, well done.

I am guessing you have used a white tip...? white tips are great for those with a naturally long nail bed...otherwise they kinda cut the nail in half and create a look of more white than pink....i think if you reduced the length (therefore the white) these would look much better.

Also just taper the free edge in a bit so the nails done look flared out...some of them are fine but the middle finger does flare a little.

thanks for sharing and keep it up xxx

Thank you so much for your nice comment. I used white acrylic powder, should I maybe have used a white nail tip instead? Sorry for being silly lol
I see what you've said about the free edge flaring, will sort it hopefully.

You have done a great job, I'm impressed that you used white powder and not a tip. Keep up the great work!

Thanks you so much. Nice comments like that mean a lot to me.

I have so so much to learn and I know it will probably take me ages, but I dont mind.
Ive been looking at the forum for months, bought a few books watched a few dvds. I know how you all feel about people not getting the correct training but I would never ever work on anyone elses nails apart from my own.
I am booked onto a training course but was itching to try. Sorry .
I know we have to buy the kit and all that goes with it when I start my course but I nipped into the beauty suppliers and bought all the stuff I needed in small quantitys to have a go on my own nails. As ive said I wont be messing about with other peoples apart from my own lol. Please dont shout

Well done on your first set, you are very brave to post. good smile lines:hug:. I wouldn't shout lol. we all get tempted to play with new stuff.

You have the right attitude hun - by booking onto a training course you have started a great career. Just remember that you must keep learning, your course will be just the start. Good luck and let us see how you progress:hug:
