My natural nails can grow really long and builder gel has only made that easier. I recently started doing my nails at home so I know my application needs a little more practice. I feel like they look really good but I’ve had a few people say that my nails are unattractive ? Like when I tell them they are my real nails they are like “ew”. I’ve always felt I have really nice natural nails but am I delusional? My pointer finger does have a curve but I didn’t think it was that bad. Open to opinions! Should I go with a different shape?

Well it looks like not well done gel. Like if you’ve put way too much layers or gel. (I don’t know how to explain, English isn’t my first language and I don’t do gel) but if I would see your nails this is what I would think about them.
The length is cute and the color you did is really cute, but from the side view I think you need to work on 1. shaping them so they don’t curve down so much and 2. evenness in the gel application bc the shape is a lil off and a lil bumpy. I really like them from a top view but I think they could be cleaner from the side (and more even gel is probably going to be better for your nail and reduce the risk of breaking)
I think they look good but may just needing a little refinement in the finishing. If you look at the side view, they are a little bulky at the tip (instead of tapering flatter at the free edge) and the shaping looks a little inconsistent from nail to nail. Super long oval is also not as common as some other shapes at that length, so people may just have personal preferences that disagree with theirs (but anybody saying “ew” is just an asshole).
I don’t like them, they look like claws, but I don’t have to like them they’re not on my fingers, only you have to like your nails so ignore the nay sayers.
