The only thing i would add and i do apologise if its been said , when your shaping the sides keep your file straight and in line, they look from the side view pici (may just be the angle of the picture though) like you have pulled your file over too much iykwim xx
Fab set of nails you should be charging way more! At least add a fiver on for sculpts.
Sculpting takes more skill than tips and will ob take you longer at first but once you get the hang of it its really much faster than tips.
take care xx

You've got some gorgeous lines of light there Emma... can't add anymore to what's already been said.
Excellent job

OMG! those are beautiful!
When she goes back in and dips her brush and then goes over the pink, is that not an overexposure risk? Then she cleans up the nail with her brush up at the cuticle area
The way she does nails is sooooo not the way I was taught. It can be quite confusing watching her way and applying my way.
She makes it look so darned easy though!!

I watched the video last night, and today at a rebalance appointment my client had one missing so I used the method of applying the form and viola it worked, and my client was well chuffed at the result. Didn't follow the L&P application technique though. So thanks Emma for the link.xxxx

Ditto what's been said! re: free edge, etc....
I think you've done a lovely job, and you can do mine anytime.
(why can't one of you geeks live nearer and we can do each other's nails???)
Now is it me, or do sculpted L&P's seem thinner than UV Gel?
Or am I losing it?
If I go too thin, the darn things just snap and crack :-(
:sad:

Man those are great sculpts! Well done to you.
I would be just as pleased with those...
Keep up the good work.

Sorry Emma, yea that was meant to you and everyone else.
I wish I could do nails like that! I did a P&W acrylic client today with tips and an eyebrow and lip wax and she was out in two hours, I was happy. Thought overall the nails could've been thinner though. If I do them too thin I find that my white is see through. I use Star nail products.

lol when you said about she cleans up cuticle area with her brush ect ect..i thought you ment i did thats why i was confused hehehe!
i used to have see through bits too , i think though it was the way i was applying the form incorrectly so the white was slightly beneath my free edge which resulted in it not being raised enough on my nail plate also i wasnt to familiar with my product ratio ect ,then either so i ended up having to add little bits here and there ,and adding little balls for the smiles
i just used to have a marbeled effect .
whereas with most of these nails i just used the one ball ,the odd one i had to add little bits ...
but do you know what i didnt have any panic either,before when i have had a go of sculpts on other people i have had a bit of panic over creating the free edge,so i think i just made things worse for myself..whereas i gave myself time,and gave the product time to work itself ...
and i almost thought it was working to easy
thats why i cant wait to have another go ,to see if i find the next set even easier ,after things i have learned of this one ..
i was meant to have a client today ,but she cancelled on me :sad:
so when i have another go ,ill let ya know how i get on xxx
