I was due for a fail. I estimate my success rate at about 25% maximum. How could I get this so badly wrong? It's only sellotape! Just too much of a rush. But I didn't even get it straight. MUST DO BETTER.
Should only people with immaculate nails and perfect application techniques publish their photos to the net? Is it a discourtesy to readers (if any) to display photos of dodgy manis?
To conclude:
What is the relative importance to you of pictures and text? I'd say a ratio of 4P:7T whereby I'll gladly accept less than superlative pictures if the text entertains and informs. (Sounds like the mission statement of the BBC).

Perfection is overrated. I appreciate people who share their missteps. Besides, what seems a fail to one person might not to another. Back when I taught a class on color and design in a quilt shop, I brought in what I thought was the ugliest quilt top I'd ever made as an example of what not to do. I stopped using it when more than one student told me they liked it; my ugly was their cheerful and homespun.
ReplyDeleteAs far as words/pictures, I must have some words or I wander off--words engage me with the person behind the pictures, and if I don't have that, I might as well just look at press releases.
I agree with what KarenD says! I like to see what different people can come up with and if it's not perfect it doesn't matter! I'd rather see non-perfect nails and read text about the person creating them than just see perfect nail swatches with no text except to say it was 2 coats and dried quickly.
ReplyDeleteI really like the pink tips over the gold shimmer, it doesn't matter if it's straight, it still looks great :) I always think that I move my hands so much when I talk that people won't notice minor imperfections like that anyway :) xxx
I like it, not a fail at all.
ReplyDeleteImperfections aren't bothersome to me, if I wanted perfect I'd read a magazine.
