Personally, I prefer the super deep on myself with a nice c curve, but sometimes I like very a settle curve just depends on my mood. As far as clients it depends on their taste and nail shape mostly I do a slight curve. If you were to mirror my cuticles you would end up with straight lines on some of my nails. I dont like the straight but really dont see that at all around where I live. What do you mean a lazy techs smile line?
Maybe its just me, but if I am coming to a tech and I want my nails done a certain way and the tech wont and is not willing to compromise with me about what they feel would look best and what I want then Ill just go to another tech. I dont care if the tech feels what might look better and what they want to do I am paying for a service.
All the same when I work on clients I may suggest things but its their nails their preference their paying for it and everyone has their own style. I like different looks.
I definitely agree with this. I prefer to wear a deeper smile, but this doesn't suite alot of clients.
Whatever will look best for their nails (generally a natural curve) unless they have asked for something specific.
