So as the title says I recreated a set I was massively disappointed in that I got done professionally. I got the set done by a friend/former coworker who works in a nail salon. She did it out of her house and she had previously done my wedding nails and I loved those. But the bat set I think there was a few issues. For one for my wedding nails she did gel-x which I was expecting again but instead did acrylic for the bats which ate up so much more time. So by the time she got to the design we had been at it a while and I could tell she was sort of tired when it got to painting the bats on. But they all came out super wonky and it was noticeable to other people. I even paid her $80 for the set for her time and everything but I was disappointed with the end result.
I’ve been slowly working on my gel-x skills and have done some fun Halloween sets but finally decided to tackle the bat nails because I still love the design and wanted them so bad.
This took me forever because I paint the nails after applying them and there’s a couple wonky ones on my non dominant hand but overall I’m thrilled with how they came out.
