Newbies keep the faith! Sculpting nightmare!

[CGritt]

Mine took about 2 hours to do coz they are done by me on my own hands so am abit cack handed haha

The pic I posted is using radiant pink by nsi, I have quite long natural nail beds so I don't really need to use masque, I only use masque when doing super stiletto

The reverse technique can be used with any pink/clear, apply it let it harden and the go in with ur file and really neaten that smile!

I always use this technique on myself as I find it easier fir my smiles especially on my wrong hand haha

Hope this helps

This is my first full hand sculpting large stiletto fir a nail art comp they are using the reverse technique using nsi pink masque nsi totally clear and some powders I mixed myself; the blue and the White snow glitter

I think this us my best sculpt to date think I need more practice

Cgritt love the stiletto. Never thought about doing the reverse French before on myself for the perfect smile line..

Do you do the reverse on the form, remove and file and apply new form. Do you then put clear over the top on joining ie pink meets White??

Have you applied gel topcoat for that High shine??

 

[CGritt]

No gel on there! It a nail hardener top coat

Go on to nailangel website and watch Kirsty meakin icicle vids they are brilliant

CGritt I love them they are fab!!!

Totally makes sense I would never have thought of doing this.

Snaz deffo agree with you my side walls were way too wide it just seemed to me that I was filling for ages when I was applying the acrylic it was running down the forms. I couldn't get the balance right between a too wet ratio to give me more time to work with and the right size bead. When I applied the white it seemed too short but when I removed the forms they looked really messy and huge.

im still chuckling at the plastic finger gym class lol that did make me smile - I love those little claws I attempted pink and white sculps last night.. well I say attempted - I did one finger then thought better of it lol. Think Ill wait for my course to start
Also has anyone here got one of those rubber hand nail trainers?? I bought one last week from ebay and for the life of me cannot get a tip to stick?? It stated on the description that the tips fit 'snugly' in place no glue required?! but thats just not true lol xx

Weve not ha stilettos mentioned yet it may come up further on ur training. Best thing u can do is ask ur tutor if it's covered? Who r u training with?

 

[louem]
