A hand displays long, coffin-shaped nails with a light pink ombre and white tips. Two nails feature prominent silver glitter. A ring with small stones is on the ring finger. The image has a 'What I wanted' text overlay.

Not exactly the same 😂 I don’t hate them, I actually do like them I just wish the glitter nail popped more and the pink was more dominant and softer. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The inspo picture are actually press ons, so after these come off I will just buy those to try lol #nailinspo #whatiwantedvswhatigo
