My nail tech/shop never fails me!!! I wanted a lighter pink but it matched the base of the nail so we changed it to this pink and she choose the wrong blues but I still fw it ! #whatigotvswhatiwanted #nails #pinkaesthetic #blueaesthetic #fyp

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
