I am getting abit cross at the mo as I am practising, practising sculptures with the paper type form and for love or money I always appear to be less sculpted on the left side of the nail form.

Common sense would tell me it would be to do with the gel not going into the area correctly or the form isnt created into the "C" curve but I have just taken off the 3 forms I have just done and the same thing has happened!!:confused:

Ive looked at the posts, tutorials etc but has anyone else had this happen and any tips would really be good
 
the only tip I could give you is to pay more attention to the left side then lol...

It's not a matter of form... in the beginning I would also have nails with a good side and a bad one... then you learn to pay a lot of attention to your weak point when you sculpt, so that you don't have to rectify a lot when filling ;)

are you sure you are getting the form on perfectly before you start to apply your product.
make sure that the tabs are properly level wit one another when you press them together.
if you get it on a bit wonky, and then follow the grid lines as a guide, then it will be a lopsided extension when you remove the form.
 
Just to add to what has already been suggested.......... Sometimes we seem to favour one side over the other, try switching application sides when creating the tip ..... so if you start on the left by nature, go for the right side or visa versa...........
Also make sure that the hand is nice and level under the lamp.......freeze cure each nail individualy, so the gel doesn't get a chance to move......
just a few more pointers xxxx
 
You have noted your own fault .... now pay particular attention to it.

You must learn from your own mistakes (it's an integral part of doing nails).

Many techs favor one side and adjust accordingly, make sure you are sitting straight and you and your client remain centered.

Your light must also be centered above your work area so it doesn't cast any shadows or blind spots.
 
I tend to always have a bad side,when enameling,creating the form and sculpting,i recomend getting into the habbit of doing that side first,hth's
