I'm bawling after a new nail tech completely bodged my mani – it's not what I asked for at all, I hate my ‘duck' talons
A WOMAN has been left bawling after getting her nails done at a new salon and being left with 'duck bill' talons.
She explained that she used to be a regular visitor to the nail shop - with dipped almond nails being her design of choice - but had taken a break for a few years.

So, as a treat, her mum decided to treat her and her sister to a mani pedi.
They went to a nail tech they'd not used before, and the woman was less than impressed when she saw the results.
"We went to this place I'd never been before and after the guy was done, I wanted to cry," she wrote.
"I hate them so much!"
She also shared a picture she'd shown the man for inspiration - a square shape in black - before showing what she'd been left with.
"Am I overreacting or are they as bad as I think?" she asked in the Reddit post.
She also titled the post: "My boyfriend says they're not that bad but I'm crying".
"I am. I hate them so much," the woman sighed.
"Your nail tech should be in jail!" another said.

"Yeah sweetie, they are awful and I'm so sorry," a third wrote.
"They are everything I'm afraid of happening when I get my nails done.
"Duck bills, and lumpy at that!"
While someone else told the woman "they're as bad as you think".
"They're not what you asked for at all! I'd try to get a refund or some of my money back/ dispute the charge/ simply just take the loss and never return to that place again!"
"I'm taking the loss," the lady replied.
"My mum paid for them and I really would have asked for a redo but we were going to lunch after and the place is 40 minutes away from where I live.
"I'm going to go to my usual place to hopefully get them fixed."
"I've never seen a nail look pregnant. I'm so sorry," another hilariously wrote.
"They gave you clubbed nails," someone else exclaimed.
"Your bf is just trying to spare your feelings and save himself a fight.
"Go get those fixed asap they are unacceptable!"
As others admitted they'd been left stunned by the picture of the finished nails.
"Nothing could have prepared me for that second pic," one wrote.
"My jaw literally dropped - I wasn't prepared," another siad.
"I expected something at least close to the first pic!"
"I feel like everyone looked at the first picture and was like, eh they're kinda cute," a third laughed.
"And then scrolled and OH MY GOD!"
"Exactly what I did LOL," someone else admitted.

Conor Maynard opens up about mental health struggles following Traitors paternity scandal
Conor Maynard has opened up about his mental health struggles after he was alleged to have fathered a baby with The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton. Last year, the reality star claimed the singer was the father of her child following a one night stand. Chilton then claimed that Maynard refused to acknowledge their daughter. In March, Maynard said he took a paternity test in the presence of Chilton's legal representative that confirmed he is not the girl's father. Speaking on This Morning on Friday (30 May), the singer said that he almost had a 'massive panic attack' when he found out the baby was not his, saying the news was 'not a moment of instant relief'.

Wynne Evans dropped by BBC after ‘inappropriate' Strictly remark
The Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans said he has been dropped by the BBC after using 'inappropriate language' during the launch of the Strictly Come Dancing tour. Evans, known for the insurance advertisements, announced on Friday that he will no longer be a BBC Radio Wales presenter. He revealed in January he would be taking some time out from both his radio show and the Strictly tour to prioritise his wellbeing. However, on Instagram on Friday, he wrote: 'My beloved Wynners, From the very depths of my heart – thank you. 'These past few months, your love has been the light in my darkest days. Every message, every word of encouragement, every moment you stood by me has carried me through more than you could ever know. 'It breaks my heart to say the BBC has decided not to renew my contract so I won't be returning to my radio show. I'm gutted. 'That show wasn't just work – it was home. It was us. We laughed, we cried, we sang like nobody was listening. And somehow, through the airwaves, we became a family.' Earlier this year, Evans apologised for language that he called 'inappropriate and unacceptable' after the Mail on Sunday reported that Evans was heard making a remark to a woman in a video filmed during the Strictly launch event. It is understood he was given a warning over the remark by tour producers. In January, he said: 'I've agreed with the BBC that I'll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing. 'I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection. 'Apologies to those I won't get to see at the remaining performances and I'm grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me.' On Friday, the singer, who also won 2023's Celebrity MasterChef, thanked his fans, and said he would have an online programme called The Wynne Evans Show, which he called 'terrifying'. He added: 'This is our next adventure. And I need you more than ever. 'We will have great music, my question of the day, the mystery voice, your soundtrack stories and so much more, because we have each other again. We have a new home. I'm bringing more presenters soon and I am sure you'll recognise a few of the faces.' Evans added that he was 'full of nerves. Full of hope. Full of love. Because when we show up for each other - like we always have – anything is possible'. The singer told the Sun on Sunday earlier this month that the comment made on the Strictly tour was not sexual or directed at one of the female cast but was a nickname for fellow contestant, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick. He told the paper: 'I didn't see the statement, Old Spit-roast Boy was a nickname for Jamie Borthwick. I'm not a bad guy, I'm not a misogynist, I'm not any of these things.' Evans added: 'And so I went, 'I'm so sorry'. And that was taken as a formal apology, so the press team issued a statement. I didn't see it. 'When I read the apology within the context of the story as it had been written, I was absolutely horrified.' It is understood any statement issued on Evans' behalf by the BBC was fully approved by him, and the singer also posted his own statement on Instagram in which he apologised. During his time on Strictly, there was controversy over a clip on the show of him placing his hand on his professional partner Katya Jones' waist, which she moved. They both apologised claiming it had been a 'joke'. A BBC spokesman said: 'Wynne Evans is not under contract with the BBC. He is not returning to the mid-morning show on BBC Radio Wales and there are currently no plans to work with him'.
