Smile lines on your right hand (by cheating)

[Peter Pan]

well - cos im having soooo much trouble uploading this blooming thing onto the tut forum - a very dear friend of mine suggested i put it on here. so here goes.....

For those who have problems doing your right hand smile lines on yourself.

1.PREP NAILS
2.APPLY TIPS

(picture 1)

3. Here we go……..



first off – take out the centre of your nail forms and cut, as shown (picture 2)

place the nail form centre on your nail, where you want your smile line to be, you may need to play with this, to make it fit from side to side. (the cut line allows you to widen it or make it narrower) Also make sure that the edge of the form centre is sitting flat on your nail, otherwise you will get seepage under the form centre. Press the form centre firmly on your nail (pic 3)

apply your white – it doesn’t matter that you are going over the form centre, as this will be removed when you remove the form centre (pic 4)

while the white is still wet/damp, slowly remove the form centre, revealing a lovely smile line.(pic 5)

Now fill in zones 2 and 3 with a custom blend, but don’t go over the white, only butt it up to the smile line, making sure it meets correctly.

hope this helps some of you that have probs with your right (or left) hand smilies, i only use this on my right hand, only so both hands looks equal. i got sick of hiding my right hand, but not anymore................

i tend to go for the simple option,..... my nail beds are kinda wee so i tend to do more fades than french when i actually bother to do my own/..... at the mo i have a right hand that needs some lovely fades to match my other hand.......lol

Hi everyone. I have no problem of doing the smile lines on my right hand, only its hard to file. I could make it thinner. It's very annoying. Anyone have tips on doing the filing on the right hand?

Cool Glynis thanks Babes - not sure if it will work with Gel but will try a 5 sec freeze cure and give it a go.

wow ill give that a whirl - if any one asks to see my nails i normally show em me left hand - my smiles on my right hand are never very smily - either straight or a wonky smile xx

What a brilliant idea. can you just clarify what you mean but cutting out the centre of the form. Must be dumb today ( have just been out with 4 kids grocery shopping so still a little frazzled) Can you explain.

What a clever idea.
You know I remember a few years back when I was in the states I had my nails done and it was strange, they applied the white then the woman got a nail tip and used it to cut the smile line, she like dug it out, a bit hard to explain. Using the top of the tip and pulling back towards zone 2&3 thus leaving a crisp smile line. I have never tried this but has anyone else seen this done in the uk?? or just USA??

 

[Rachel Mary]

Never seen it but I am going to try both techniques!! Perfect smile lines here I come. would it be naughty to do that to a client. will it make me a lazy sod.???
