Thickness of nail?

[Scottish_girl]

Hey all - this is my frist of what id amagine many posts

Currently training with NSI in scotland - absolutly loving the course and finding it quite easy to do (ive always done my own and friends nails you see)

My nails were far from perfect and quite flat looking until i have learnt the proper method of applyin acrylic to all three zones and i must say the practice nails i have done are far much better looking now.

Theres one this that im a little concerned about and since im not back to NSI until monday i thought maybe someone could help me out?

Thickness

Obviously it needs to be thicker at the stress area and fan out around the cuticle and sidewalls but im kinda unsure how thick it should be? i have a thumb nail on at the moment as we have to let it grown out a little and be shown how to infill on monday along with sculptures *eeek*

Ive added pictures of a few different views to my album, can u let me know if im applying too thick?

Thanks All

Lea

You should be aiming for as thin an enhancement as possible without compromising the strength.
I've seen it said (on here) about the thickness in zone 1 being that of 2-3 business cards.

The pics in your gallery aren't really big enough to get a proper look in detail.
