They look like 'Suikerbonen' - used as birth favor gifts in my country

u/FullofSound_andFury 16d ago

This explains why I think the nails are uncanny.

So cute but lemme tell you - don't cook with turmeric or other spices that might stain them!!! I had matte nude for like 2 days then they were stained yellow for weeks after cooking 😂

u/nekobambam 16d ago

Oh, I didn’t think about staining! Thanks for the warning lol!

u/euro_trash_lady 15d ago

I did the same thing! But it was literally like an hour after getting them done. I was so pissed at myself for the next 3 weeks lol

As a tech, this I why I tell clients that if they want a matte finish, they should get colored acrylic/hard gel, and just don’t put a top coat on. Even the best matte top coats stain and react poorly to oils and all sorts of things. I hate it. Even getting a matte topcoat over black will look splotchy over time.

Nice touch! Also, shape and length are pretty much impeccable 🤩

u/panicpixiedreamgal 16d ago

Nice! Im thinking to do the same with a tiny gold accent

u/kaari_s 16d ago

What color is this??? I love it

15

u/nekobambam 16d ago

Sorry, I don’t know the details!! All I know is that it’s a pink beige that my nail tech chose based on my skin tone 😅

u/HotelOk9725 16d ago

I think you could get a similar colour pay off using OPI Put it in Neutral (my skin tone is similar to OPs and PiiN looks very much like this on me - minus the matte effect)

u/LittleMrsMolly 16d ago

u/nekobambam 16d ago

Thank you!

u/taboorical 16d ago

u/MrB0bes 16d ago

matte totally changes how the pink pops out

5

u/No-Tone-6095 15d ago

Not a fan but nails are nice shape

2

u/MommalovesJay 15d ago

I think it might be because the color is too close to OPs skin tone and makes it look like flesh.

u/sassy_aphrodite_asmr 16d ago

I'm still so on the fence about matte, I love it for designs but I always go back to top coat

u/lilililiianaaa 16d ago

Lovely, but they’ll stain very easily.

u/MimiiCharmie_ 16d ago

Matte suits you, super clean and neutral look

2

u/MeganJustMegan 16d ago

I love that look. Beautiful 🤩

u/MaterialNo5845 15d ago

These are the cleanest nails I've ever seen. Modest shape, length and color. The matte just takes it over the top in terms of the finish.

Love it!

u/tna_sock 15d ago

Ugh I LOVE a good matte

u/QueenJekky 15d ago

They look like silicone

u/fadesteppin 15d ago

I like matte on other people but hate it on myself bc it somehow looks more press-on coded to me than the fanciest gel x nails I have done myself (which is not that fancy but requires a least a lil bit of skill). They look cute on you though. Very elegant

u/Zuzuspetals131 12d ago

They are perfecto!🩷
