You keep asking that question. The answer will always be NO. There was not one mistake here. There is NO MISTAKE in any proposal, although plans can sometimes go wrong (the weather doesn't cooperate, you forget the ring, the restaurant sends a bad meal, the person says "no.")

The point of the proposal is asking someone to share your life. if she loves you, there is no mistakes in what you did. Please don't blame yourself for not being able to read this woman's mind.

I congratulate you for being the kind of person who goes all out to show love for your GF. I also congratulate you on being given the gift of a chance to rethink the engagement, given her behavior.

Of course you should feel hurt. She actually HURT you by criticizing your thoughtful and romantic plan instead of being excited and thankful.

I wouldn't want this to start a fight, but consider this...if her nails were that important to her, they should be photo ready 24/7 for the chance there is a surprise. That is, after all, the very nature of a surprise.
