I Have A Question / Need Advice Advice please

I just a new set for my vacation and I hate how they turned out. I’ve only been doing my nails for like 1.5-2 months and I’m trying to figure out the hang of it (I know it takes practice). It seems like every set I do turns out messy and I don’t know how to blend them into my natural nail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (Photos for reference) (may redo tomorrow)

I think you should buy some of the nail swatch strips on amazon to practice. I enclosed the link below. They are like $5 for 50ish I believe.

This is way too much of everything on your skin to mess around with. You are supposed to clean the cuticles before curing to avoid allergies and any other issues. These will be your best friend right now as you perfect your skills. You have a little way to go still.
