Ok if the clients nail is suitable, then I pre-blend the tips and buff then adhere and then just gently buff the tip flush with the nail..............
Some pre-blend with a file, some pre-taylor with scissors............ it is usualy personal preference.....but even if I use the scissors to cut out the well area, I still go over the tip with a buffer to thin it out....to reduce the step effect.............I hope this makes sense
Sometime the full well area is needed................. i.e a nail that has gone triangleshape, lop sided aso, so I use the full well area to my advantage............
hope this makes sense................
