I'm a bit of a mouthy sod
I ask the client "do you want them to look real"?
If they says "yes" then want French, my attitude changes ..... "so, you want to look like a pole dancer"?
Then I show them various pictures and examples, usually they go for the "real" look, a "real" thickness, a "real" length and a believable look, ..... but there are always those that want ......... lets just say "what I don't want for them"
I do give in .... feign dry reaching and transform them into porn stars ...... in the end it's about money and it's about them, there's no accounting for taste.
I have built a very successful business from doing "Nails that look real" and transforming them from one look (fake) to another look (are they real or not), it's not easy in the Red Light district of Australia :lol:
