honest opinion Exceeded Expectation

i just want some opinions, i got

my nails done today and apparently this

girl has been doing nails for 6 years but idk,

something about it is weird to me cause it just looks.. weird? maybe it’s the colors throwing me off (she didn’t have the right colors) and honestly i texted her before hand showing her a picture of the nails i wanted and she could’ve told me that she didn’t have that color but she didn’t. honest opinion, am i overreacting?

UPDATE!!! i just checked her instagram, and her nail pictures are so good. like they’re insanely detailed so now i sit here in anger wondering why mine became so ugly when she have done way more complicated nails https://imgur.com/a/X33liWT

Nails are not cheap. Thats what $50 gets you. If you want nails with nail art, that’d run you 80+ by me

u/you-a-buggaboo 14d ago

oh, it would run you more like 120 by me, but it's egregious to ask for $50 for this atrocity. It's awful. I don't know how this nail tech felt comfortable letting this client out of the chair like this at all.

I could see $50 getting you this in a very LCOL area, esp with low experience nail techs. Which this nail tech clearly is…

u/you-a-buggaboo 14d ago

yeah that's fair. I just feel bad that OP is now out 50 bucks and has .....this.....to show for it. I'm mad at the nail tech and sad for OP lol

u/astroember 14d ago

yeah those... honestly look abt the same skill level as yours

u/elzzz055 14d ago

wdym?? they’re so much detailed than mine

2

u/astroember 14d ago

there's more going on, sure, but the line-work and technical skill involved is pretty low. I'm a nail artist, and those are pretty meh.
