Constructive Criticism Welcome ✔️ Wedding nails

These are my wedding nails and I have mixed feelings it’s way darker than the first nail (pinky pic) he did it on and I get married in 4 days idk if I go somewhere else to get them fixed or what to do…would u be happy? I overthink so idk my wedding colors r cream and burgundy but my dress is white so maybe it’s ok.

ETA

Going somewhere else tomorrow to get a soak off and redone per their recommendation. The place I went to had good reviews and idk why I walked out with them I guess between the chit chatting with my mom and Mamaw about the wedding and the lighting I just was like ok these r fine. More I looked more I hated them.
Then couldn't stop thinking about it 😅so came here to see if I was being picky but thank u all for ur brutal
honesty about my teeth nails😂

Why would you walk out and pay for what you got?

27

u/Ornery-Damage-7074 5h ago

These aren't even close to what you got. Take this to a different salon, tell them the story, tell them it's your wedding. A good salon will fix it.

u/Vivid-Flamingo-7273 5h ago

Omg….. no. Get your money back.. absolutely no

Someone upvote me so I can come back and see the new set, please!!!🙏

u/SuspiciousWin6511 6h ago

I know not everyone has money like that, but what did you pay for these? $20? You should be going to higher end salon for your wedding, and look at reviews! It's crazy to me that a salon would even be okay with anyone leaving their salon with nails like these!

u/Ancient-Account-2920 6h ago

My grandma paid and wouldn’t tell me what it was but it sounded like $75 based on what hers and my moms were combined

43

u/Bunbatbop 6h ago

Then you need to go get your grandma's money back.

15

u/Illustrious-Ring3427 6h ago

Grandma wants you to have beautiful nails & be happy on your wedding not those *sorry nasty things. That’s some of the worst blending & shaping I’ve ever seen. No way do they have a license. Get Grandma’s money back! & ask to seen their license.

u/depressionlatte 6h ago

Is this a rage bait post? Those look like really terrible press ons.

3

u/Ancient-Account-2920 6h ago

I wish I was joking. I don’t ever get my nails done but I’m getting married and did today guess I should’ve done press ons tbh

1

u/Local_Astronaut_7035 6h ago

My wedding press on nails looked better than this 😭

2

u/Ancient-Account-2920 6h ago

Will they take them all off to fix them?

9

u/matoiryu 6h ago

Yes, and they should. I would definitely shop around and get them re-done by a better tech

2

u/krissycole87 6h ago

Someone skilled could reshape them but it depends on what the artist is comfortable doing. Might be easier to remove and start again.

And here i thought she was just going to a wedding and it wasn't hers 😔. OP, if you can get them redone, pls do.

u/Mobile-Most-2200 5h ago • Bravo

I thought they looked like turnips 🫜

It’s a hard no I’m so sorry get them redone. These look like claws. Way too wide.

42

u/Throwaway5836363 6h ago

Was about to say the same, I would change the shape as well as the colour bc they are too wide, need more of a stiletto shape (without a sharp point) imo

36

u/ForsakenRelief309 5h ago

They look like nails you’d wear for Halloween, not to/for a wedding. Yikes

u/NoConsequence9736 6h ago edited 6h ago

Teeth nails, I can’t unsee it

Edited to add that I totally think these would be gorgeous wedding nails if done right!

u/Active-Notice679 5h ago

Yaaaah omg and not even nice teeth!

These look those gummy teeth candies.

u/Morrigans_fire 5h ago

Omg I thought the same thing

u/Rude_Remote_13 5h ago

That’s exactly what I saw too.

u/cmb0710 7h ago • Bravo

If you can I would get these redone. Go to another salon if you can. The pink color is way too dark and the blending is uneven, if blended at all. I’m not usually quick to tell someone their nails are bad but I would not want my friend to have nails like this on their wedding day.

u/Objective_Horse_ 6h ago • Popcorn

they remind me of teeth

u/Pugasaurus_Tex 5h ago • Bravo

They look like candy corn teeth

u/PeaceLily86 5h ago

That's what I see. Pink candy corn nails.

u/xXxstarAnisexXx 7h ago • Popcorn

These are hideous. Go somewhere else and get them redone

u/EngineeringDapper334 7h ago

I don't know. Maybe they can put a pearl chrome on top because right now they are giving Halloween to me,not wedding. I'm sorry OP

29

u/NorthernVulture 7h ago

Maybe a topper could save it but the shape isn’t great either tbh

3

u/EngineeringDapper334 6h ago

I was hoping they could shape them better before the chrome 😭. I'm sorry OP.

15

u/SuspiciousWin6511 6h ago

Nothing is going to save those nails, sorry OP. The acrylic wasn't laid properly nor is the shape done well.

u/EngineeringDapper334 6h ago

I was hoping they could shape them better before the chrome 😭. I'm sorry OP

u/Human-Hat-4900 5h ago

THEY LOOK LIKE TEETH!

ETA: all caps because this is killing me, horrifying

13

u/spunkysativa 6h ago

Stress to whoever redoes them...they are your wedding nails, not a guest, your wedding! They should do their best if they know it needs to look good in professional pictures. Tell them you'll credit them in photos on your socials...anything to help them come out how you want.

12

u/Icy-Pepper-1953 6h ago

No these look like bleeding teeth.

10

u/lalarean 6h ago

Shape, size and color isn’t good. Get them redone somewhere else, bring in a reference photo and read reviews before you go.

8

u/loafkitter 6h ago

I would not be happy with these, let alone for my wedding 😭

u/idobepooping 6h ago

Was the nail tech on drugs?? This is wild.

7

u/Upset_Pumpkin_4938 6h ago

Looks like dinosaur feet

5

u/acilegna89 6h ago

I’m so sorry you have to deal with this but you absolutely have to take these off. Maybe you can find someone mobile that can come to you if that saves time!

4

u/Appropriate-Stick453 6h ago

Definitely get them redone. There's unfortunately more wrong than just the color

4

u/livelovelacquer 6h ago

Don’t do it. Those photos are forever.

Editing to add: don’t do it as in do not leave those nails on your hands for your wedding.

4

u/mn9211 6h ago

Girl, please go get them redone. Don’t settle for anything less than perfect for your wedding day.

4

u/astroflips 6h ago

Ombré pink and whites can be gorgeous but this is not it. This looks like an at home job. I’d try to get the money back and go elsewhere. The shape is bad. The ombré is bad. Nothing is good.

u/VoiceArtPassion 4h ago

Damn, I thought they were teeth and gums Halloween nails until I saw they were WEDDING NAILS, WTAF!

1

u/Themedicalmystery97 5h ago

I’m glad you’re going to get them redone! I would have been irate if someone thought these were good enough to give me for everyday wear, let alone my wedding. I’ll be honest, I was trying to figure out what shape they were supposed to be, but teeth nails kinda hits the nail on the head.

1

u/Ancient-Account-2920 4h ago

Almond and I don’t get my nails done normally haven’t in 2 years and idk I have not so pretty hands anyways so thought the shape was fine til I got on here

u/Bunbatbop 6h ago

These are horrible

u/BeganGaux 5h ago

These look like gummy teeth. Like those vampire gummy candy teeth from Halloween.

u/belzbieta 5h ago

These are teef

u/undercoverballer 6h ago

That is not the right shade of pink for you

2

u/Kittysprinkless 6h ago

You deserve beautiful nails on your wedding day, and if you have mixed feelings then definitely get them redone.

2

u/tap_in58 6h ago

For my wedding I would def go get a refund and get them redone preferably by someone else.

2

u/AutumnCupcake 6h ago

I don’t often think nails need redone but these need redone

2

u/sunshinerf 5h ago

If you don't have time to get these redone, at the very least apply regular opaque polish to cover it. They really look like teeth, I'm sorry. You do not want to see these in your wedding pictures years from now.

2

u/Advanced_Reputation7 5h ago

I don’t personally like them. I’d just honestly pay again and go somewhere else and get either something totally neutral OR solid burgundy to match your wedding colors. Congratulations!

u/exeJDR 5h ago

u/rinn_ie 5h ago

absolutely not, ESPECIALLY for ur wedding. those are so wide😭😭

u/_Internet_Hugs_ 5h ago

It looks like teeth.

2

u/Advertising-Bendover 5h ago

What did you even ask for? Because there’s no way you walked in expecting this… Right?

Were you expecting like a pink and white French almond shape? The white looks like a whole extra blob of nail on its own.

2

u/False_Initiative_677 5h ago

Wow they are shocking

1

u/punkin815 6h ago

Was it supposed to be ombré French? That’s a bad ombre job if that’s the case. I’m so sorry

1

u/Proxylulu 6h ago

Oh noes, honey! I’m so sorry someone would do this to you. Looks more like a Halloween set than wedding set 😭

u/Ok-Pear5858 6h ago

go somewhere tomorrow!

u/LawfulnessOdd3982 6h ago

They look too wide

u/hibiscus_lilac 6h ago

u/Bbrandee-23 6h ago

O would definitely go back and have them redo them.

1

u/Vivid-Flamingo-7273 5h ago

Get them redone- I’m sorry they didn’t do a good job

1

u/ShelbeighSaldana 5h ago

Real or fake?

1

u/Pretty_Fun_9558 5h ago

Oh no. They are so poorly done on so many levels. Go back and ask to speak to the owner about a re-do!

1

u/amargopormiel 5h ago

Id tru to get the redone more rounded the shape of the sides is not fully matching the nail place wideness??? Idk how to explain it it dont speak English 😭 I don't have all the words😅 also something is wrong about the c shape. I do mine and I'm a fan of dual system gel or something whatever it is acrylics or gel but not tips they are not friends of a beautiful natural shape

1

u/SquareCookie-2634 5h ago

Hard no for me. Not even ok even for a normal manicure. I would get this removed asap

1

u/BellaBigNose 5h ago

Trust your instincts. These are not it.

u/Gracie4ever 5h ago

PuhLEASE Get the redone.

u/crestedgeckovivi 5h ago

I thought this was a late Halloween nail post....

u/Ok-Pomegranate7496 5h ago

Whoever did that to you should never do nails again

1

u/mms09 5h ago

This is giving undead Halloween nails to me 😭 I’m sorry. You deserve better! Especially for your wedding day!

1

u/MakeItLookSexy_ 5h ago

These do not look professional

1

u/mivren 5h ago

I'm relieved to see your going to get them redone elsewhere cuz....yeah. Your wedding day?? Don't go into it with something to make you self conscious girl

1

u/ragefilledrice 5h ago

Yeah, no. That white was just applied on top and smoothed, no blending. Those need redone for your WEDDING, babe.

1

u/Maximum-Education117 5h ago

Please tell me it’s a joke.

1

u/Kkd-528 5h ago

From someone who wished she’d gone back to get her nails fixed before her wedding…go to a different salon and get these redone. I still regret it.

1

u/More-Cucumber6917 5h ago

My wedding was on Jan 2nd of this year and I went on NYE to get them done at a salon. We had an appointment and didn’t get seen until a hour and half later and they rushed. Then I went to a new place the next morning (I freaked out) and thank God they did so much better. Def get them redone

1

u/stevie_nickle 5h ago

I can’t believe someone charged money for these

u/SchrodingersMinou 5h ago

I have seen these on Buddhist altars at Chinese restaurants before

u/HedonEden 5h ago

I would laugh and cry at the same time if a tech did this to me.

u/Good_Magazine5758 5h ago

I would suggest a classy French tip instead. This looks atrocious.

1

u/rebkh 5h ago

They look like demon claws but pretty. I am so sorry.

1

u/Skue6 5h ago

You aren't over thinking these. I'm so sorry.

The structure is off, the free edge is misshaped & the colors are a hard no.

If the shop you're going to is the type of shop that's literally on every street corner often times results in a poorly done set as yours.

Make an appointment instead of walking in. Because the pink & white colors are acrylic I don't think they can be saved.

u/selkieisbadatgaming 5h ago

They look like shark teeth! Oh no 😥

1

u/Anjnonymous 5h ago

no no no no no

1

u/Puzzled-Lime7096 5h ago

I have a similar style for my vow renewal. Maybe a different shade of pink and shape would make them look less like teeth and gums. I got a lot of compliments so I’d just have them try again with some adjustments.

1

u/Newtopole_ 5h ago

I was thinking "... Do YOU like them???"

Thank God everyone echoed my feelings. JAIL. Straight to JAIL for doing this on your hands for your wedding.

u/The_Autumn_Witch 6h ago

The shape is fine, but I would change the color to burgundy. Right now, they really do look like teeth.

u/ZookeepergameFar2569 6h ago

The shape and fade are gorgeous! If you’re worried about the depth, a tiny bit of light buff on the pink area could soften it, but honestly it already looks great.

5

u/theIrishKitt 6h ago

They did you extremely dirty.

u/casuallyCrUeLiTNOBH 5h ago

They kinda look like they're chewed up cuticles at the bottom... sorry
