It's a good job. I would have added a shadow to the edges of nails, as I show you in my attachment. to show depth and to understand the connection with skin. This gives more realism. The color of my eyebrows would make me less orange i think brown so I could not feel that they were painted. Anyway, it's a good job on the nails. Bye and good work.

Thank you for the tips. To be honest, I just made a shadow between nails and skin, but it's too delicate. Yes I know the brows looks too discolored I corrected it now.

Really nice shape and fix on the HL's, I'm kind of a texture Nazi, so personally I'd bring some of the high frequencies from the original back so it doesn't draw so much attention. They're currently so well done they almost look like liquid/3d models/vector qualities etc.. But like I said, really good job so far. A few tweeks and you got it!
