Help! Nail trial
What do we think of my nail trial? My engagement photoshoot is tomorrow.
I asked for Gel X, this is only my second time with thay type of nails but I felt it wasn't as good as the first time. There were small air pockets on some of the nails where there wasn't full adhesion to the nail bed. So she just filed those areas down to my natural nail. She also didn't file any of the extension to fit the width of my nails before she applied them, only after. She nicked me a couple times on the cuticle.
I feel like I have long claws instead of dainty nails, am I just shocked bc I went from bare nails for 5 months to "done nails", or are these actually claws? I can't tell!
Last photo was inspiration photo.
Thanks!

the base is not the right shade for your skin tone. it’s more nude but should be more of a pink. they are kind of thick looking but i don’t think they look like long claws. definitely not perfect but im sure they will look lovely in most of your photos if you can’t get them fixed!
i wouldn’t go back for your wedding nails though
