So I’ve been doing hard gel at nail school and I’ve been really enjoying it. Is there anything I could improve on? Also, I’m fully aware of the bubbles 😭

I’m not a professional but these look really pretty! I love that they’re not bulky but I’m almost wondering if they’re too thin for the length (if they were on a real hand) I’d be worried about breaking them. The shape looks so good though!

It's a good start, but do some research about sidewalls, you don't want to be doing sets that taper that narrowly on a person because it will do damage to the growth channels on the sides of the nail.
