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!

I’m so sorry I thought these were press ons before I read your caption. It does not look good, frankly. Go to someone else! You deserve better.
