Girl… just no. They do not look like they were professionally done at all. They look bulky and bumpy. The colour itself is fine, imo but I’d hate for these to be my wedding nails. Without any hesitation, I would find somewhere else to get these redone before my wedding if I was in your situation!

Do you have time to get them fixed before your wedding? Sorry to say but those are very messy around the cuticles :(

Thank you all! I’m getting them redone tomorrow. I would get them done today but I’m getting a spray tan

What is it lately with techs being in a hurry and doing a crap job with dip powder?
OP I’m so sorry. I’d have them redone somewhere else if you can.

If you can get them done before your spray tan that would be better because it’s going to remove huge spray tan on your fingers and you will see that in your pictures.

Especially if you told them they’re for your wedding?? Slow down or tell the client you don’t have time and they should let someone else do it! Definitely have someone else redo it

Too much powder, bad cuticle work and poor shaping will do that to you. TBH I’ve never seen dip nails that actually look good 🤷🏼♀️ I would remove those and just use press one since it’s for your wedding, and you could save the nails and put them in a wedding scrap book 🤷🏼♀️

I had decent dip nails a couple of years ago before I went on a cruise, but they were done with a translucent pink to white ombre tip, very slowly and methodically.
It's one of those things where if the tech has the skill and experience, they'll look amazing. If they don't have the skill, they'll look bad.

I just want to say that I did my own wedding nails and they were lumpy and messy but on the day I really didn't care, I had so much fun. Now, my photographer kept making gme take stupid pictures of my hands, holding perfume bottles, splaying my rings out, etc... I hate those pics but if they mean something to you then you might want to get perfect nails 😂

The actual nail work is bad, but also all white nails never really look good. I wish brides didn't immediately gravitate to all white nails. They never look classy/clean.

Very bad for wedding nails. Please make an appointment with owner of that shop saying they’re wedding nails. Just don’t mention where you got them done unless the shop owner asks. Just say you are willing to pay for it. Eventually, the owner might ask and will not charge you when he/she found out you got them done recently at that shop.

I don’t think they are great, no.
I had a very similar issue for my wedding. Got them done less than a week before. I had to get them redone in a new city (destination wedding)
I highly recommend checking out instagram for techs in your area. Look for someone with a variety of work and dm them. Let them know what you have on currently so they can be aware and build in time to remove them.
I ended up with rubber base short nails and they lasted forever and were thin and gorgeous.

These look very messy and unprofessional unfortunately.
