I tend to think it looks best when people do something like this as opposed to this.

edit: whoops, fixed my links

[–]Sarbanes_Foxy[S] 0 points1 point ago

The second link is exactly what I mean! It's so tough to get your thumb in the shot too, and it's usually my best nail

[–]litaleeter 0 points1 point ago

I figured. Maybe the thumb isn't necessary unless it has a different design. Seems like gripping something, e.g. a nail polish bottle, is the way to go!

LOL

I feel the same, but because I have no idea what the hell I'm doing!

[–]Sarbanes_Foxy[S] 5 points6 points ago

I always take the picture and then go back to look at it and think "jeez, my hands look strange..."

[–]dubstepdinosaurReformed biter 0 points1 point ago

I do that too. I'm learning how to shape my free edge and nails still look really foreign on my hands.

This exactly. I walk around doing this when they are drying too.

[–]ZestyFruitBat 0 points1 point ago

Every time I let me hands dry they get so cold from not doing anything with them!
