I hate this manicure

I really hate this manicure. It's builder gel, I go every 2-3 weeks. It's so thick and lumpy. I did ask for extra short. I have been going here at least 15 years, same woman. I really like her, should I say something?

That doesn’t look good at all sorry, I would go back and say something.

Oh wow they are awful. Definitely go back and get them changed.

Go back, say something, they are diabolical.

It's such a shame, we have a great relationship. She does wonderful facials and waxing and loads of treatments. I know it's trivial but these nails are making me very unhappy.

They are awful I would definitely go back

They make you look like you have clubbed nails. You don't, do you?

RaraRachael · Yesterday 22:55

Terrible. It looks like the ends of your nails have melted and fused up in a big lump. Sorry.

thesilver · Yesterday 22:55

I usually have normal nails!

You must complain, that looks dreadful

This has to be a joke.

GaaNeen · Yesterday 22:58

Why has she left you with lumps on the fingertips ??
they look odd - go back or better still, go elsewhere!!

MurphysColeslaw · Yesterday 22:59

You get your nails done every 3 weeks or other things and this is the first time she’s done your nails?

Tinytotdriver · Yesterday 23:00

If this is not a joke then they are awfully done, definitely say something!

thesilver · Yesterday 23:00

Nails every 3 weeks or so. The last few times I have been a bit unhappy, but these are dreadful.

Is this the first time you had builder gel? It looks absolutely awful. Builder gel takes time and part of it is the skill of keeping the nail apex as natural as possible. She can’t have seriously sent you on your way with those nails.

Idontjetwashthefucker · Yesterday 23:01

Nah not buying it, no-one would walk out of the place with nails like that

thesilver · Yesterday 23:03

Unfortunately this is real. And I don't have a lot (any) free time, but I'm going to have to get it removed.

Oh they’re terrible. Why are they so thick? I have builder gel and it just looks like normal varnish when on- just glossy.

you have to say something.

thesilver · Yesterday 23:05

I feel like they've got worse since I left the salon ☹️
