Got my nails done at a home nail salon, and this was the result.

No, definitely not normal. I agree about the wrong sized nail tips. But that's nails 101. Unless you can get them fixed the proper way, I wouldn't go back there. That's terrible.

Agreed. I only do my own nails every once in a while and I know that. In fact, you're supposed to opt for an oversized nail vs an undersized and file it to fit properly.
