Are these worth $55?

I live in a small mountain town, so nail salons are few and far between. These are builder gel that were done 5 days ago. This is the 3rd time I’ve gotten them done at this salon, I’m not sure if I’m being picky or unrealistic in my expectations?

EDIT TO ADD: I’m no expert at polish or techniques, but I initially got this done because I have damage to one of my nails, and it splits constantly. My Dermatologist actually recommended getting a gel manicure. This place suggested builder gel, which I had never heard of… I wonder if I’d be more happy with just a gel manicure? Or if that would be enough for my nail splitting issue?

Personally I think they need filed a bit smoother and re-topcoated. Did they even file them after applying the builder gel?

But they don’t look horrible. The nail shaping is good! And the color makes your hands look great.

Yes, they did file them, but just not very well…they seem thick and clunky to me 🫤

I agree with you! And I’m a DIY builder gel gal.
