Which forms do you use for Sculpting

[Seductive]

Hi

I am just getting back in to nails and prefer to sculpt, lots of practice needed though.

I would just like to get some opinions of the best forms to use when sculpting

Any information would be great

Thank you

I first started out using creatives forms, but they seem to tricky to me lol (not sure why) so now i just use these gold and black horse shoes forms, i am really crap at scuplting anyway.

I'm Creative trained.. but cant stand the performance form... I use Ezyflow Perfect C's (Square, oval and universal) and Tammy Taylor Competition (double thick) forms and Re-usable Teflon forms.

I use Young nails heavenly forms, sturdy and reliable, even on bitten nails!!

if i was you i would see if you can get some samples of different forms and see which you prefer - every one likes something different and has different techniques!

I use the re-usable ones I think these are much better than the through away ones imo.

I just use the gold ones with black squares. Sorry don't know their name but they work for me. Remember that if you have a difficult nail to fit, then you can always cut the form to custom fit the free edge of the nail.

I have some reusable forms too but hardly ever use them.

I use the young nails heavenly forms or the NSI competition range,

I used to use (& hated) gold rectangular forms :irked:
I currently use Creative's performance forms, but I would like to try out something a bit thicker/sturdier. (maybe i'm a bit heavy brush-handed!)

I currently use the black and gold rectangular ones.
But... I've been thinking on trying different brands of the similar shape.
I DETEST the clear EZ Flow's for gels... they're too rubbery and I can't get a 'fit' with them. dont know why :irked:
Horseshoes make me nuts too.

I've used the reuseables.. they make a nice c-curve, and great for learning when you haven't mastered the trick of fitting the form
BUT the ones I have are fiddly and don't stay in place. Also, I don't like them for 'all' people. If someone has flattish nails, they're just no good. The curve doesn't match and as the natural nails grow out... anyway... I only use them on myself on the rarest of occasions.

the tammy taylor ones are double thick, also you can buy unbranded ones that are almost as thick as them from salonserve. hth

also, for those finding their forms a bit flimsy, are you using the little round bit to reinforce them underneath. for forms that dont have the little round bits, you could use them double maybe.

 

[geeg]

I use Creative Performance Forms and if needed I re-re-enforce them at the free edge with the 'round bit' that comes out of the middle .. but I do not always need to do this.

My other favourite forms are the re-usable AcraC Forms and the good old Creative Future Forms (I still have 3-4 sets of these) which are not made anymore (sadly) love them..

 

[PLAOH]

Having tried many, I now use Ezflow Universal forms.x

 

[talented talons]

I love the EZ Flow universal forms as well as the EZ Flow "C" curve forms too. I have used the Creative forms too and find them relatively easy to use, but the EZ Flow ones are the best for me.
