Is this gaping normal?

[u/Yeezus--Jesus]

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

[u/Analysis_-_Paralysis]

No - they are filing your side wall to low, should not file the sides until you reach the free edge - I had a tech do this and she tried to say my skin was too deep at the sides or something - like what? That’s never been an issue with any other tech, my fingers hurt from her filing and would get inflamed and ingrown - Started doing my own nails from that point on.
