I'm not happy with how she did my nails

ChimneySweepLiverpool · 06/06/2024 14:50

I go to a lovely place for my nails for years and this time I went to another girl. She was very lovely and took her time but I feel my nails look like I could have done it myself. I paid 61 pounds including nail art and am happy to pay this as the nail art is normally really good. I get them done once a month

I'll post a picture of what I wanted versus what I got. Maybe I'm being unreasonable or just need to get used to them

Which salon was it?

Oooooh dear

@CoastalCalm She did nude one coat underneath, two coats of orange and one coat on the black line

Yeah that’s why it looks so odd - the nail should be flat not have a two coat ridge of orange

Inspired by the Pokemon Pokeball? I’m sorry op, but it looks dreadful. But you have nice hands. What outfit have you planned to match?

Oh. I kinda want to have my nails done like a pokeball now!

I rang about half an hour ago and they said they're looking into it and will get back to me so I don't think they'll be squeezing me in tonight anyway!

Honestly some posters are being ridiculous. The nails aren't great but they aren't some kind of hideous outrage that you can't be seen out with. Nobody at the weeding is going to be inspecting your nails - relax and don't be self conscious!

ChimneySweepLiverpool · 06/06/2024 19:37

It's not even about the wedding @LordSnot

Its more than I'm not happy with looking at them for a whole month, no matter who's at fault

They are both hideous but your nails are way too short and round to look like the other ones. They can't work miracles.

Then she should have told OP that it couldn't be achieved

justmyluck1234 · 06/06/2024 19:51

I'll be honest they don't look great - wouldn't be happy paying that much.

I do agree it probably doesn't help with the shape / length of nails but I do feel they could have told you that to be fair.

It's like if you went to a hair dresser - they would normally advise if it what your asking for would work with the hair you have.

ChimneySweepLiverpool · 06/06/2024 19:59

I actually think the design has made my nails look much shorter too. I swear they aren't as short as they now look!

I get that but no need to worry about them fitting you in tonight, right?

ChimneySweepLiverpool · 06/06/2024 20:02

Yeah @LordSnot. I just thought it was better to be quick about contacting them as I will then be away until next week. Always better to try arrange a fix quickly

Yes I agree with you completely!

Well of course she wants her nails to look good going to the wedding? If she didn’t care much about nails she wouldn’t have booked the appointment in the first place, would she.

You don’t pay that amount for your nails to look shit. It’s too much money to leave it.

What’s the sour face for @LordSnot ? Are you the one who did her nails?

Cas112 · 06/06/2024 20:09

They are the worst nails I've seen in a while 😂😂

And stop paying so much, you can definitely find somewhere cheaper that will do a better job

SloaneStreetVandal · 06/06/2024 20:27

She's taken the orange too high, far higher than the picture you showed her! I always just go for a single colour (the same colour every time lol), no nail art.

whynotwhatknot · 06/06/2024 20:30

yea doesnt look great im not in london (essex) but i pay 35 for arylic infills and actual nail art -(i get characters)

it looks really amateur

Amsx · 06/06/2024 20:36

I do think unless it's done by a really skilled nail tech that nail art should be for kids really.

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/06/2024 20:43

You should have insisted they look horrible and wouid be returning to have them redone free of charge tonight

paristotokyo · 06/06/2024 21:19

The poster that said they look like smarties was spot on Blush sorry op..

EllaPaella · 06/06/2024 21:25

Oh dear
Yeah they are bad. Very amateur. I would not be happy either.
