TIPS - tiny nails??

[Noo]

hi there
i have a client booked in for next week and her hands are smaller than my 18mth old (slight exag..)
I use NSI Express Tips and the smallest size won't do, still too big - I used to use elation tips so could maybe use them although been using express tips for so long not keen.
has anyone experienced a client with tiny nail plates and what did you use?
thanks

I've never seen very tiny nails, but couldn't you sculpt them instead ? x

Yes, Id say sculpt too. Or you can just pre tailor them and file them down a bit xx

I use tips from edge. Some of them are very small.

i used the edge tips also, i just tailor them down to size, means it takes a bit longer but its not too much longer. i always do this with silks as can't sculpt with them and it always works. just make sure when you finish you make sur the sides are flush with the nails and dont fan out

Do you use express tips all the time?? I only ask because I have a box of express tips and can only use them for a select few clients. Express tips have a very exaggerated smile line and can only really be used on clients with a long nail bed, or the balance looks completely off...and they are extremely hard to rebalance. Did you train with these?

Sculpting isn't necessarily the answer either I don't think. Unless you are very confident at sculpting your smileline placement.

I would use elation tips if you have some, sculpt a very soft smile line and keep the length reasonably short.
