Ok - I haven't done a full set on myself for a long time but I think I've improved a lot since reading critiques on here and looking at pictures.

I've put before and after photos so you can see properly (excuse my super-long nail beds sticking out the top of my nails in before pics!!)

My right hand is better as i'm left-handed so would like critique of this hand mainly but will put other hand photos on too!!

Before;
(good hand) http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x204/ophala/IMG_1044.jpg

(not so good hand)

After;
(good hand) http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x204/ophala/IMG_1046.jpg

(not so good hand)

Thanks in advance for any comments!

(For some reason my critique options haven't come up - anyone know why??)
 
They look good to me - one looks slightly hippy - on the good hand picture, and need to be made a little slimmer but I would be proud if I had done those.

Love em.
 
i think they are brill hun...are they sculpts?....what is the glitter colour?...my right hand is always better than my left!!!...you should feel proud of them xxx
 
Very pretty, and very festive :)
 
i love them,any chance you could do a tutorial? and could you please tell us what you used.thanks:)
 
They're nice.... I love a bit of sparkle!

I would agree with Theresa's comment about the middle finger on your good hand being slightly wide.... but that is easy to fix.

Well done for posting.
 
thanks for all your comments!! it's so nice to have a set i'm finally proud of. my other sets i thought looked good at the time but looking back they were very flared and sidewalls weren't straight.

they're not sculpts - they're tips. OPIs clear structure tips - they have no well and a deep smile line so kinda cheating!! the smile line is OPI silverfX and the base is shimmerfX.
 
I think they look lovely, well done. Lovely use of sparkle! As has been said, a couple are a little bit hippy, but on the whole they are beautifully done. :)

ps you have nail beds to die for!!!
 
I like them they're soooo this christmas hun!

thanks!! nail beds are a bit too long tho as if my nails are short u can see my nail bed at the free edge (as u can see from one of the before shots!!!)
 
you are right, you are really improving ,great progress theyre looking good.
the tip on the thumb is not big enough though.
 
Before: Your natural nails are pretty.
After: Your nail enhancements are off the nail tip, beautiful.
 
Oh how I would so love to sculpt on your natural nails lol...

Nails are pretty , very sparkly..:hug:
 
your natural nails are to die for.

Your after pics are very nice, your work has improved so much, you have come a long way. Congrats..
 
thanks for all your comments, it really boosts my confidence!!! i'm just hoping none of them lift!!
