i ordered custom sized press ons for the first time but most of them were too big. i tried to file them down so they wouldn’t cover my whole cuticle but i don’t think i did a good job. do they look bad?

    They do but it’s because they’re not fitted properly. The index finger is too wide for your nail bed. It’ll make a big difference if you can file down the sides a little bit to suit the width of your nail. Same thing goes for your pinkie finger. It looks good towards the top of your nail bed but it is ill-fitted at the cuticle. A little shaping will fix that as well. Last thing is the thumb. That one actually isn’t wide enough. You shouldn’t be able to see your nails peeking out at the sides. You may have shaped that one a little bit too thin at the base. I’m also a little concerned that the thumb might get caught in something and pop off. But overall I think they look pretty good! They just need a little bit more filing/shaping and they’ll look much more natural.

    Edit: sorry I was only looking at the 2nd pic when I wrote this. It’s pretty much the same for the 1st pic. Just needs some more shaping at the cuticle

    I can’t even really look at them because the design is so trippy, super cool!!!

  3. Yes because the lack of thickness and they’re not shaped (fitted). They’re cool though.
