Evening Geeks,

Just a bit of advise if poss, im starting to try and get back into sculpting, but one thing i am stuck on and thats how to make the nail bed look longer.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance:hug:

You need to use a full coverage pink for the nail to elongate it, most nail suppliers have these powders now, just ask your supplier, hth :hug:

you can use coverage powders or mix your own opaque nail bed color if you want to elongnate the nailbed past the natural free-edge. however, just the way the product is applied can make a huge differnce in wether the nail looks stumpy or elongnated (which in turn will make the fingers look stumpy or elongated!)

Check with Odyssey as I'm sure they will have either qpaque pink powders you can use or a recipe to mix it up yourself.

I find the reverse application easiest when extending a nail bed when sculpting, so do the pink first and make your smile line in reverse, then you can sculpt your free edge colour around this.

HTH

h guys, thanks for the advise just a quick Q tho if your doing the reverse app, would you bring the pink up the sclupting form over and past the natural nail and then sclupt the free edge on ?

Yes, just like that.
