My VERY FIRST L&P French & L&P Art

[VHunter]

Alrighty, ladies and gents...

My very first L&P Enhancements!!!

On day 2 of my course, she set me right off to sculpting two tone french, without having done L&P clear overlays or anything else. This was the first time I touched L&P.
In other words, while doing a french, I was also learning for the FIRST TIME how to get my beads right and how very fast L&P sets (especially in a warm room) and HOLY COW that stuff sets fast:!:

Please note, the pinkies of the french were NOT done by me. As you can see, her french is 'straightish' and when I brought it up, she said "here in Canada, it's not like in the UK & US, we don't aim for the curve like they do, clients don't like it". (well ummm mine do, but ok.. LOL) Could explain why I haven't seen any others like mine around here abouts :lol:

On day 3, a week later, we soaked off the french and she put me to doing art from the advanced course. She had decided that she would change the course a bit to suit my experience. No complaints here.
She did the client's Right hand (to the left of the picture) and I copied the same on the client's Left hand (to the right of the picture).

We later added a couple of flowers, but I didn't take pics of those yet LOL

I gotta say, doing L&P is much harder in terms of bush control and bead ratios... BUT I LOVE it and can't wait to get better at it!!

Please keep in mind when looking at these pics, I had no practice during the week between these 2 sets as I was busy busy busy... so I don't think I did 'terrible'. Not great either :lol: but not terrible.

Alrighty! Let me have it :green:

If that's your first attempt, then it won't be very long at all before you're able to offer l&p to all your clients. Very well done! Which glitter powder did you use on the tips?

Great first attempt.. sorry but I'm just dying to rub some solar oil into those cuticles.. I think your pics would look much better if you did:hug:

 

[marioned]

THANKS! In all fairness, files go a long way to fixing some boo-boos ROFL
For the glitter-powders, it was different ones... from EZ Flow's Rainbow collection and Walk of Fame and from others too. All EZ Flow's. The picture really does NOT do the colours justice. They were much prettier to see first hand.

ROFL :lol: the first thing we did when we got into the car for the ride home was dig my cuticle oil out of my purse and rub it in HAHAHAHAHA They didn't have any in class... no idea why.

Hey well done to you, they look really gr8, If you had seen the state of my first set of L & P :cry:, I was like OH NO I`m rubbish..

But after a little more patience & practice I can safely give myself a wee pat on the back.

You should be proud, Good luck with the rest of your course.

We didn't use it when I did my conversion either as they were more interested in application rather than the finished look.
They look really good, you must be pleased. When is your next one? keep us updated x

 

[VHunter]

I'm "kinda/sort-of" pleased... lol
Annoyed with myself with some things, pleased with others. All in all, I think I caught on pretty fast.
The course is now finished, so now I have to PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

:lol:

Keep your eyes peeled for more crazy L&P stuff from me :green:

thanks everyone:hug:
