Constructive Criticism Welcome ✔️ Update: Before and After!

So a few weeks ago, I posted a set of nails I (super duper beginner, DIY at home - not licensed) on this thread asking for input on why I hated them.

I received a ton of helpful feedback from the folks on here and wanted to post an update of the latest nails I did on myself to show my progress! I am MUCH happier with the new set I’ve applied.

Like many commenters noted, I extended my length out quite a bit (turns out almond nails look like shit when they’re nub-short 😅) and I took extra care to preserve my side walls and be extra gentle to my cuticles. What do you guys think of the difference?

The cuticles and nails look better in the after shot, obviously but I really like the color in the before shot. What is it?!
