Hey Peeps,
As some of you know I have just started Essential Nails Home Learning Course and thought I was doing well until now.
I had just finished blending my first No 13 nail and was quite pleased with the results until I took it off the Nail trainer and examined it.
Looking down on it from above the sides are straight and there are no steps, but when I look at it 'side on' the is an obvious 'dip' or 'angle' where the tip is attached to the nail.
This has totally put me 'off my swing' (so to speak) as I'm not sure if this is Ok I can't find any side on pictures to compare it too.
I do know that if I try to straighten it up ( Which can only be done by filing up and under the sides ) the end result is a curved sideline when looked at from above, and a weak join that splits across the smile line.
Whats going on ?
I did consider that maybe it was because My chosen tip was too big, and so tried the same nail with a different size but it doesn't make any difference i still get the 'Angel' from Side on, and Now I seem to have lost all ability to even size a tip correctly. It's driving me crazy, I'm also starting to think I have a wonky eye as when I attach a tip I make sure it's lined up to the centre but when I finished attaching the well seems to show a little more on one side ( when you look at the smile line ).
Is this because I'm not filing the freeedge to fit the well perfectly enough ?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I think maybe I need to leave it and come back afresh tomorrow.

Thanks in advance.
PS : I got my Solar Oil yesterday !!! Now I understand why everyone raves about it .... too early to see results yet but I'm Hiopeful !!
