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

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
