Pretty good lighting setup with a the light appearing just slightly directional as it should. Pretty model and lovely smile too. Your selective sharpening around the eyes is subtley done - in fact another very nice picture but again for me, it loses its edge with the preset which this time although brown, has an unnattractive hint of contrast-flattening red to it.
My advice FWIW is not to place too much faith in these presets. Maybe devise your own for use only on a given individual setup and model. Downloaded presets, however good they seem and however great the choice still tend to become a one size fits all approach when what you really want for your pictures is individuality and IMO your pictures deserve better.

There is a comfortable feel to your portraiture of Nikki which draws the viewer into the image. The smile, the catchlights in the eyes, and the direct contact made between Nikki's gaze and the viewer feel inviting to me and make me glad that I opened the thumbnail to view the full sized image.
