no shade to the nail tech, but i went in for a gel polish change pedicure that i was told otp by the receptionist would cost ~$50-55, the fill is usually around $45 with no designs, but given she filed the shape and whatnot i was expecting it to be around $65 for the acrylics.

overall, was told the total was $159 and was absolutely shocked!! not only have never i spent 4.5 hours getting my nails done EVER- i have also never spent that much on an acrylic fill with design + pedi combo.

also, this was a nail franchise so no shade to a direct person and i do love the look!!

Real curious about this. I've been seeing so many different price ranges for nails and I find it very interesting to see how much it varies depending on where you live.

For instance, these two sets I got were somewhere around 28$ each (i live in Eastern Europe).

I’m mourning my dad’s passing and had been struggling with the notion of more color, so my nail tech suggested dark brown. I feel she was right 🥺😢 time to move towards more color again…

Constructive Criticism Welcome ✔️ My first time making homemade press-ons. What do you think?

50 Upvotes

I (18f), am practicing doing nails as a hobby and this is the 5th set I've ever done, but my first press-ons. This is my right hand, after I improved my technique a bit.😂 I did the shaping of the nail myself and doing base colors since I used clear, full-cover nail tips. I don't know what shape I was going for exactly so yeah, they look a bit wonky.😅 But overall, I'm proud of how they turned out. That's why I thought I should share and get some feedback here so I can improve my application and techniques. 🙃
