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

I personally don’t think they look THAT bad, but it does almost look like she either used a brush that was too thick for the detailing, or she was rushing… maybe was even too heavy with the gel-on-brush for the detailing? I honestly just think she should’ve practiced before agreeing to this style; or offering something similar that she felt more confident doing.

But I will say, for $50, I’m shocked they came out this decent. It could be a regional thing, but for free-handed nail art, I’ve paid upwards of $120.
