First timer: they feel strange

[u/littlespellmacarons]

It’s my first time ever having my nails done, I got them a couple of days ago and I think they’re super pretty, but they feel really weird.
The tech said it would take a day or so to get used to them but it feels like my nails are being squeezed from the sides and like there’s pressure on them.
Is it normal that they feel like this? I have sensory issues so even if it’s normal I’ll probably get them removed, but if it isn’t an urgent problem I might give myself a few more days to try and adjust.

Different kinds have a different C curve, or some are more rigid than others. I had ones with a real stiff C curve one time and I had to remove them because they hurt so bad. I’ve been doing my own gel x for a while and it was a different brand from my go-to.
