BABY BOOMER RATING

  • The score is 1 point per nail maximum (1/2 points allowed).
  • Each nail is judged separately.
  • 1 point is awarded if the nail meets all the criteria.
  • ½ point is awarded if the nail meets 2 criteria.

Convex

  • The outer contour of the nail shape must be completely symmetrical.
  • The surface of the nail must not be imperfect or appear to be imperfect irregular.
  • The judge will examine the nail by looking at the nail head and check zone 3 and from a perspective on the back side, he'll check area 2.
  • The convex or nail surface must be symmetrically curved in the entire nail until it reaches zone 1.
  • The nail can earn a ½ point for each correct area

Concave

  • The inner contour of the free edge must be completely symmetrical and concentric.
  • The concave of the nail should look like the inside of a tunnel while along the free edge that is visible to the eye or until the stick of the Ccurve touches the tip of the finger on the underside.
  • The concave must represent symmetry and be concentric. The nail can earn one ½ point for each correct zone.

Arch and Apex

  • The high point (apex) of the arch should not be too apparent.
  • There should be a subtle and progressive slope that is located in such a way constant in the second area of each nail.
  • The whole arch, including the apex, should not be too apparent or appear too much. flat.
  • The arch should not be located too far forward or backward when you look at it the entire nail from a profile point of view.
  • The nail can earn a ½ point for each of these two criteria which are necessary.

Side extension - side view

  • The free edge must follow the natural line of the nail (the parallels).
  • The extensions must be symmetrical.
  • Parallels must not descend or be filed to rise relative to the lateral folds of the natural nail.
  • It is possible to win ½ point by point.

C-Curve

  • It is possible to earn ½ point for each criterion.
  • The C-Curve must be at least 40% of a circle and maximum 50% of a circle.
  • Each C-curve must be concentric.

Uniformity of nail shape

  • Each nail must be similar to the others in shape and style to deserve ½ point.
  • The shape of the nail viewed from the front must be straight and aligned with the nail. natural (and not finger) to deserve ½ point.

Length

  • Length is measured from the center of the proximal fold to the top of the edge free.
  • The index, middle finger and ring finger must be of the same length (0, 2 or 3 points)
  • The thumb and little finger must be the same length (0 or 2 points)

Stencils and capsules

  • Stencils: The application must be free of any "holes" or dents at the point of breakage (1/2 point for each side that is free of defects)
  • The capsules must be cut to perfectly fit the nail (no lateral demarcation).
  • The capsules must be perfectly placed.
  • There must be no space between the capsule and the natural nail.
  • ½ point will be earned per side if the capsule is correctly applied.

Thickness of the free edge

  • The free edge must not measure more than 1.5 mm up to the natural nail (take measurement with a scaler from the centre of zone 3, carried out by the
  • The judge will take 3 measurement points to check the perfect lateral symmetry of the nail in its width.
  • 1/2 point is assigned for each criterion.

Side edges

  • The nail plate must be covered in such a way as to create perfect continuity.
  • The free edge may begin to fray after the distal folds and nail plate.
  • The nail must be uniform on both sides. There should be no "peaks" or "ridges".
  • The sides of the extensions must be smooth and clean to the surface. touch.
  • ½ point will be awarded for each side meeting the required criteria.

The underside of the nail

  • There must be no dust, water, glue, excess oil below
  • The application of the products must be clean (no unsightly packages or each nail with its own appearance will earn ½ point.

Surface area

  • The nail must be perfectly smooth to the touch and to the eye (caution: no trace of
  • In case of a small mark that is difficult to see and not palpable, the judge may grant ½ period.

Brilliance

  • A top coat or finishing gel will be applied to obtain maximum shine.
  • The finishes must be catalyzed in such a way that no dull areas are left.
  • The tops coats and finishing gels must be applied over the entire nail surface to earn ½ point.
  • The finish must include a visible shine effect to gain ½ point.

Shaded - degraded

  • The gradient must be progressive. No demarcation line must be visible.
  • No "bubbles" or "holes" should appear on the surface.
  • ½ point could be granted if the imperfections are considered minimal.

Cuticules

  • The skin surrounding the nail must not appear irritated, cut or irritated.
  • There must be no palpable roughness between the plate and the product at the
  • The product must be applied up to the proximal fold without leave a visible demarcation line to the touch.
