AIO for wanting to cry over my engagement nails. First photo is what I wanted, Second is what I got
Went to a local nail salon (4.9 stars with 500+ reviews, many recent) to get my nails done as my boyfriend will be proposing soon. (He is not particularly good at being sneaky but I love him so much)
I showed my tech the first photo, it was a video on tik tok) and she said with confidence that she could do them giving me the game plan, she would pick a sheer pink gel over a silver cat eye polish. She sounded like she knew what she was doing so I trusted her.
As she was progressing I realized that I didn't like it as I felt it looked quite off. I tried to express this but the woman pushed my concerns to the side explaining it away as it didn't look right because she wasn't done yet. I tried to argue further but she was insistent so I just kept quiet until she was done.
When finished they looked worse than I had imagined. The pink polish is too opaque, the cat I eye patten is so uneven and it looks like my nails are about a week old as the polish starts so high up.
Am I overreacting for being so upset?
I'm going to a place more reputable ( reached out to an old friend to see who does her nails bc they always look perf)
