Like the title says, I got my first ever manicure today and decided to do gel x extensions. This is the results and I’m not sure if it’s supposed to look like that? Or could it just be my natural nails
Absolutely not – I’d ask for a re do with a different tech.

No.

To be completely honest, no, this isn’t normal for Gel X. They have what is often called a ‘ski jump’ effect, meaning they are pointing upward. This usually happens if the tip size was wrong or applied at the wrong angle.

Regular slope compared to what your nails are doing. You’re at higher risk of ripping them off with how much they slope up like that
I’m sorry but it is obvious and noticeable to others. It is also very likely to catch on everything and risk severally injuring yourself. They have done it incorrectly and you need to go and have it fixed.
I hate confrontation as well so I get the anxiety that could cause you. I would just go back in and say “after I had these done they have been catching on things and it’s become an issue, could someone fix them please”.
