'What I asked for vs. what I got': 20 Major nail fails that were not worth the money

Imagine paying for these nail polish nightmares… Well, a lot of people did just that, as they shared with photos that tell the whole story.

Getting your nails done is a lovely treat, but it doesn't come cheap. When you go to the salon, you show the nail artist your dream nails, and you just hope they have the skills to do so. Not every manicurist can do it, and it seems like a lot of them need more practice. That won't stop some nail artists from charging high prices, as a few of the people with botched nails revealed.

Some of the people below ended up paying for nails that were totally crooked. Other people's nails look like a toddler got a hold of a bottle of nail polish. It's all about precision with nail painting, and even a few centimeters of wobbly linework can ruin the whole set.

Check out this collection of nail fails down below. Then, read about the project manager who admitted it was "very petty of me" as they sent out a 600+ page PDF via email.
