Here is my opinion about using canes for nail art: I haven't seen a good example of a nail that isn't too thick when you embed canes in the acrylic. No matter how thin you slice them, somehow the finished product is just too thick--at the cuticle, the stress area, and the free edge. Also, they look like stickers to me, for the most part. I've seen a few exceptions, but not many. My biggest peeve with them really is how thick the enhancement is. They often look gorgeous from the top view, but if you check down the barrel...UGH!

If someone here is proficient at creating thin, light-looking enhancements with canes, I want to see them, because at this point I am NOT a fan. But I want to be!

Thats true about the thickness if your using them with tips and overlay.
Try them in sculptures and the problem is diffused.
