C-Curves

I was sitting here thinking about that article by NSI

Do you "pinch" your clients' nails? Find out the
damage that can be done to the nail w/ this short cut to C curves: http://twurl.nl/8dl7di

So I got to thinking .. ( Yes thinking alot lately) I never did like the idea of pinching, simply because it was messy for me and ruins my polish *laughs* But also it was forcing someones nails to go into a deeper shape thant hey already are. For example look at your nails. How much of a curve from side to side do you have. Is it Flat? Loosly flat C? A real C or what ever shape you're blessed or cursed with?

Now Imagine forcing your nail to go into a C shape if you have a flat nail. .. It's like forcing yourself to wear a girdle that gives you a sharp deep waist line.

But once again I got to thinking. Those C curve sticks. Now shaping the nail tip into a c curve is good letting it fan out to the natural nail shape. Instead of forcing the person's natural nail into going C on ya Why not give the illusion of it being a c shape via the tip not the body.

So when I start working on clients I'm going to make sure don't use my thumbs to squeeze their nails on the sides but use the curve sticks and focus on the tip not the body. I'm just going to worry about making sure that tip has a good arch , apex ... and curve. And most of all.

Make sure my clients are happy and content with no discomfort and displeasure ;)
