USA Nails Aurora will always be the place I go to get my nails they never disappoint

I don't really like the first one it looks chunky on the pinky, the smile line on the index finger isn't crisp. The other ones look similar at first glance and even the close ups are a little crisper than the first set you got.

My 35th birthday nails. Had a tea party & went all out. They lasted a long time with no crystal fall out. Slight purple hue due to my dyed purple hair bleeding out some by the 20th day. ⭐️ Rating:💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼 #nails #whatiwantedvswhatigot #teapartynails #nailinspo #acrylicnails

These nails are so cute! I’m in love!
