I'll be honest, I'm not a fan either, the tips being so far from the nail gives an elongated alien head feeling, but in finger form.

Ultimately it doesnt matter what anyone thinks though. These are excellently executed and the color is perfect

Really? I thought the white part being closer to the nail was out of style these days. I only ever see it from cheapie strip mall salons and it always makes me think pig feet or Gary Busey teeth.

You’re absolutely correct lol. The elongated aka deep French is definitely much better. I love the way OP did the French.

The problem is it's supposed to be an idealized form of the natural separation of the nail from the nail bed, when the flesh part is so far out with no nail bed underneath it just doesn't make sense in my opinion. This is why French is best suited to short-medium ish length or else you have to elongate something and the ratio looks weird either way
