Posters of Sculptured acrylic Nails -
Pink & White

• Free-edge - Whitest-White acrylic and usually...
• Nail-body - True Pink (nail-body or nail-bed). 
• Model for these posters - Tammy Taylor
• Tammy is also the  CEO of Tammy Taylor Nails, Inc.

History notes 2: Some terms that Tammy Taylor has invented (or coined):

• Pink & White - reference to the Pink "nail-body" and the White "free-edge"
• C-Curve - the semi-circle looking down the barrel of the free-edge
• C-Curve - should be 35% to 45% of a circle
• Smiley-Face - the separation of color, where the White comes together with the Pink
• Horseshoe Pattern - the filing pattern used on top of the acrylic nail, to obtain that perfect curvature from the cuticle area to the end of the free-edge, and from side-to-side.
• Horseshoe Pattern - this filing pattern also eliminates stress on the wrist.
• Smiley-Face - Term for how the White should blend with the Pink
• Almond shape - Term for shape of finished acrylic nail, side view

Tammy uses her hands everyday in the running of her company, and because of the way her sculptured acrylic nails are applied:

• Tammy almost never encounters any cracks or breaks. 
• Posters - You will notice consistency of "form" on all of the nails
• The slightly "almond shape" from the cuticle area (base of nail) all the way out to the end of the White free-edge. 
• And her C-Curve from side to side,
• The C-Curve is about 35% to 45% of a circle.

Also notice the Smiley-Face, where the white meets the pink, and how it enhances the real beauty of the nail. 

• Then, take a look at what Tammy calls the "C-Curve" (the term C-Curve is now used by technicians all over the World)
• At the end of the white free-edge, the nail looks like the letter "C", thus the C-Curve is
• about 35% to 45% of a circle. 
• Along with the C-Curve & the almond shape,
• Filing the nails more straight out from the nail-groove on either side of the acrylic nail,
• Increases the strength of the acrylic nail. 
• This allows an acrylic sculptured nail to be made much thinner. 
• You will see how thin Tammy's acrylic nails appear in the Posters.

Tammy Taylor is constantly working to improve the Beauty Industry, and does apply sculptured nails, using nail forms, on a regular basis. 

• Note: Tammy Taylor also holds the World's record for the fastest FULL set of sculptured acrylic nails using nail forms. 
• Fastest recorded time is 17 min 10 seconds in front of a live audience.

Breakage: usually caused by...

• not having a good C-Curve! 
• Also filing too much on the sides
• And filing too thin.
