What I wanted…

I have been going to her for a while, and these are my natural nails❤️. I told her to do almond shaped, and I wanted to change the bows since my next appointment we are doing something with bows as well. I love them!!!🍓🩷🎀#nails #valentinesday #whatiwantedvswhatigot

Those are so cute. But for me I wouldn’t have gotten the bow as like a charm because I’m weird with textures so I would just have it has a drawn on design. But they’re so adorable I wish I could do that myself cause I don’t go to salons

Sometimes I feel like males tech do better job than females tech, no offense ladies, it’s based on my experience. Unfortunately I didn’t not go back to that place because they hired other people and they couldn’t do the job. Miss it though 🥲. What’s your thoughts?! #nailsinspo

So I like what I got but it’s not what I wanted. The nail tech did have the rhinestones for my pinky so she recommended to do cute flowers instead, at first I was a bit iffy to get it but I said I was going to trust the process also the base color for the blue is not the same but oh well neverthele

My first time getting almond shape done. And she thought that if we added the iridescent powder it wouldn’t look so basic but I think I like the basic look more. Trying to convince myself they have a princess & the frog look to it. Next time no iridescent powder. What are your thoughts. H
