I’m glad I’m not the only one that was in a panic because I was prepared to be devastated. But this turned out amazing.

The art is really nice, i think its just a different in materials that makes the color stand out more but its super cool it actually looks like it came out brighter and more saturated OwO

It looks really cool. But the base beige that was chosen was the wrong choice tbh

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '25

I agree! It’s kind of… phlegmy. A baby blue, light pink, or purple would have been out of this world adorable.

u/Chab-is-a-plateau Jan 18 '25

Yeah like if they wanted nude they should’ve matched the skin then lmao

u/Hermionegangster197 Jan 18 '25

Nude and neon is one of my fav combos, but you’re so right. Nude should match skin tone.

u/Chab-is-a-plateau Jan 18 '25

Absolutely

Love your username

u/Hermionegangster197 Jan 18 '25

u/Hermionegangster197 Jan 18 '25

You do and that’s what counts!

u/cassielovesderby Jan 18 '25

u/the_anon_female Jan 18 '25

Looks good! I think a matte top coat would make it look even better.

u/LinverseUniverse Jan 18 '25

I need to see the thumbs!

u/Interesting-Ring-305 Jan 18 '25

My thumbs are different to the reference pic. Can't seem to edit/add a pic tho.

u/LinverseUniverse Jan 18 '25

Oh well, I appreciate you tried! <3

They look AMAZING!

u/Ok_Nothing_9733 Jan 19 '25

2

u/Interesting-Ring-305 Jan 19 '25

In the UK sorry!

2

u/Ok_Nothing_9733 Jan 19 '25

Possibly worth the trip… jk

u/Interesting-Ring-305 Jan 19 '25

If we didn't have minging cold weather n crap food I'd say come over!!

Saying that, I've just got back from Amsterdam, it was freezing but legal smoke so worth it!

u/Felicity110 Jan 18 '25

Good replication. They obviously didn’t have as bright of neon as picture is but great job. Cost ?

8

u/Interesting-Ring-305 Jan 18 '25

These were £90. That was a take off, new set and design. So I think really fair.

u/Interesting-Ring-305 Jan 18 '25

No they normally cost about £40-£60 but these took time! I'd probably not pay that much again tbf but it's all fine. I'm happy with the result. The design will stay as long as I keep the nails on.

Smoking, eating out and clothing cost just as much, everyone has its own whims. Unless you’re mr frugal and you spend absolutely nothing extra.

2

u/Interesting-Ring-305 Jan 19 '25

Yeah, nothing went unpaid so I could get this set so it's no biggie for me 🤷‍♀️

u/somecatgirl Jan 18 '25

u/Perfect_Programmer29 Jan 18 '25

u/No_Construction_4293 Jan 18 '25

Omg these are amazing!! Gives me so much early 2000’s vibes

u/Western_Ad_6916 Jan 18 '25

How long is everyone flash curing each color layer before moving on to another color?

2

u/Interesting-Ring-305 Jan 18 '25

I didn't check each cure time but the shroom nail got baked like 7/8 times. Maybe more.

u/sanjchips Jan 18 '25
