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. 2 2 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. Beauty fans can get their nails done professionally for just £5 in Superdrug - here's how "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.

Beep Beep! Make Way for Dua Lipa's Grand Prix-Ready Manicure
While the naked manicure trend has been reigning supreme among celebrities, Dua Lipa has forwent the current nail artless aesthetic for something altogether more starry and summer-ready. The pop star was photographed at the 2025 F1 Grand Prix Of Monaco in Monte-Carlo, touring the pit lanes and posing with racers on the grounds. She kept her overall look pretty casual—a bold yellow cheetah print cropped t-shirt and black, loose-fitting jeans, and black and white Puma Speedcat sneakers. Her glam, too, was parred back and warm weather appropriate; with minimal eye makeup, a glossy caramel lip, and blossoming, warm pink blush. She wore her signature, raven-dark hair long and loose. But it was Dua Lipa's manicure that spelled star-power—quite literally. The Radical Optimism singer opted for a clear base coat, with tiny silver stars around the edges of the nail bed, and one singular, larger star in the middle.

10 Watermelon Nail Designs for a Vibrant Summer Look
Sure, warm weather and loads of sunlight are fabulous. But the best part of summer is that delicious fruits are once again in season. And no fruit screams summer louder than watermelon. It's sweet, juicy, and oh so refreshing—the perfect inspiration for your next manicure. Go literal with a fruit-forward manicure and adorn your tips with little slices, or let the melon inspire your color palette. Watermelon has a vibrant pinky-red hue with subtle orange undertones that looks gorgeous in both opaque (essie Watermelon) and jelly (Manicurist Active Glow Raspberry) formulas. Pull inspiration from the rind and pair the happy hue with an energetic green like Gucci Beauty Vernis à Ongles Melinda Green for a high-contrast finish. Watermelon nails are yet another food-inspired manicure that's perfect for summer, like orange creamsicle and strawberry lemonade nails. Try out the latest trend by drawing inspo from one of the 10 watermelon nail ideas below. This jaw-dropping manicure turns each nail into a sparkly slice of watermelon. Two shades of green create the rind along the cuticle, while a shimmery red topped with black dots represents the seeded flesh. For a look that embodies all the summer fruits, incorporate watermelons into a mix of strawberries, kiwis, oranges, and lemons. Go less literal with your look by trying a design in watermelon colors. This mix-and-match design blends tulips, gingham, bows, and polka dots for a picnic-themed design. Keep your look minimalist by pairing a few tiny watermelon slices with micro French tips and cuticle outlines. A silver cat-eye base topped with green and pink jelly polishes creates a super juicy finish. Lean heavily into fruit vibes by pairing a watermelon design with 3D fruits like grapes, pomegranates, and oranges. This floral design uses pastel shades of pink and green for an airy take on watermelon colors. For a red polish that has watermelon energy, pick one that has a bit of orange in it. This pink French manicure gets a summery finish tanks to tiny watermelon and lemon slices. Go pink with your watermelon manicure by pairing opaque hot-pink polish with watermelon accent nails.

Struggling with brittle nails? This £19 nail product is being called 'the best ever' - and it's not a salon treatment
Beauty buffs are locking in longer-lasting wear from their favourite nail colour while also protecting from breakage with one £19 nail strengthening polish. The Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener from Nailberry is being recommended time and time again by those with splitting, fragile or brittle nails. And, helping to deliver a longer-lasting manicure, it could be the best investment you make for under £20 this summer. Nailberry Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener The Nailberry Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener contains Hexanal, which helps strengthen nails, improves condition, and limits breakage. Used alone or over the top of your manicure, this could help prevent chips, extending the life of your manicure too. £19 Shop Shoppers are extending the life of their manicures this summer thanks to one long-wear, strengthening nail polish. The £19 polish is being hailed as the product behind visibly healthier-looking nails, not only preventing them from chipping but also making nails harder and healthier. Breathable and non-drying, over 100 users have left five-star reviews for the polish, with one writing: 'Has definitely improved my nails which were rather soft and splitting. But no longer! So happy.' Priced at under £20, the Nailbery Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener is cheaper than a trip to the salon and could leave you with noticeably healthier nails. If your nails are being put through the wringer and are looking flakey and brittle, then the £19 polish could be what you need ahead of the busy summer social season. Going further than bog-standard nail strengtheners, the oxygenated polish actually harnesses Hexanal - a patented active that's proven to reduce nail fragility, brittleness and splitting. As the brand states, you can wear the polish alone or underneath a Nailberry polish and use two coats twice weekly as an intense repair treatment. 'I used this as a base for the first time and it certainly made a difference to the appearance of the finish when I put my polish on,' wrote one impressed Nailberry user. 'And it also added extra life to the polish.' Another agreed, adding: 'The best ever and I truly noticed a difference how well the nail enamel applies after looked much smoother and brighter. Lasted longer too and nails are in good condition!'. Users of the Strengthen & Breathe Oxygenated Base Coat and Nail Strengthener have also noted less chips or polish peels since using the polish. Creating a flexible, breathable film that delivers polish adhesion to nails could be the secret to making your manicures last longer, thereby saving you money in the long run, too.
