I feel like the thin tips aren't thin enough, and make my nails seem shorter than they actually are. Next time I will do super skinny tips and see if it helps to make my nails look longer. Sorry about the mess and the really crappy looking cuticles; I haven't been taking care of my hands like I should be. The air has been super dry and I have been forgetting to apply hand cream and my Solar balm. I also apologize about the rambling, have a great day!
