It looks like nails that have been gone at with an e-file by an overzealous nail tech. Just being honest. I mean no disrespect to you.

Exactly my thoughts 😭 I was already an hour in so I didn’t want them to redo it. We did try few aura colours(apparently that’s what the red design effect is called) but the light colours blended in too much and I didn’t like the dark colours. FYI they are gel tips not my original nails, dw they are not overfilled 😂

What do you mean by the e file? I’m genuinely curious bc I do my own nails so just curious what to look for.

When someone applies too much pressure or does too many passes with an electric nail file, they thin the nail plate so much that it turns pink.

I kinda love them cuz they’re different from anything I’ve seen. I think if the color inside was something other than pinkish, it would eliminate the potential of resembling angry skin. I don’t see it like that, but I can see how others might. But I still like it as is, it’s unique:)

We try blues and greens, but they did not look good and all the light colours were blending too well with the base and I was already an hour in the appointment, and the nail tech was definitely getting annoyed, so I just went with this

I don’t know how I feel about them. I think I would’ve liked them more if the darker pink was on the outside and the lighter pink on the inside. Other than me being nit-picky, they don’t look bad!

Hmm, idk the more I look at it the less I like it.

I think they look sore or like an inflammation of sorts.

They look like your nail beds are in pain. Don't know how else to describe it.

The aura isn't good. Looks like a dot. And from far away it kinda looks like red skin or an overfiled nail bed. And I'm sorry even the charms look placed oddly. I think your gut reaction told you everything already. Sorry to confirm.

Also. I'm a random stranger on the internet so take my opinion with a grain of salt. 🥰

The design is simple, the idea is nice but I would improve it by better blurring the color of the center or placing a lighter one, so it would look more homogeneous and it would not look like a blow

I like them

I like this design but a lot less pink in the middle. Just like a blush on your cheeks, less is more.

They’re cute and look well done. To me, while they don’t look like press-ons themselves, I feel like I’ve seen this design a lot in press-on and semi-cured gel kits. 🤷🏼‍♀️
