You`re not alone with those smile lines.........
I printed off geeks tutorial and I have it next to me while I practice, does it make a difference??????????
You should have seen them before that, I keep all my practice nails so I know I`m making progress but I am very hard on myself.
It is like everyone says and practice practice practice, sometimes I think thats the worst word in the vocabulary, its a good job I enjoy doing it, I just wish I could see perfection every time......now wouldn`t that be great
