Hi
I have been reading the fab tutorial by The Nail Geek on supersonic sculpting, can someone help by explaining a section of part 4 in bold below to me as I cant get my head around the directions despite re- reading several times! :o
Sculpting out a tip
I apply a thin layer of white up to the natural nail free edge and essentially, sculpt out a tip.
Take a medium size bead one thats relative to the width and length of the tip you are sculpting out and apply it up against the free edge. Be careful not to push product onto the surface of the plate.
Give the bead a moment to settle, then in gentle nudging motions push it up to the free edge line and out to one side. When you get to about 80% of the way over, work the other side of the bead to the 80% mark.
Go back to the first side and nudge it up into the corner, then repeat the nudging on the opposite side.
Gently smooth out your surface and then carve your lower arch in with the side of your brush.
You do this by scooping the side up and then by pushing it toward the natural nail then away in a swooping motion.
Viola. There is your sculpted tip.
Thank you
