What i wanted vs. what i got ❤️

#nails My sis is self taught and learned by attending YouTube university faithfully and I was her muse. So proud 🥰 I was happy with the outcome but even more happier that she took a creative leap.

Take the leap.

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
