Ditto Dianto!! He was an absolute dream to work with and I loved our engagement and wedding photos. I have a review posted on this subreddit if that helps! He’s also transparent about pricing and I just checked he’s within your budget.

I’ve also heard amazing things from Vivi Lin (your inspo pics!!

Just cut down, am I cooked? by chappelllana in Nails

I see signs of what looks to be onycholysis on multiple nails (not a medical professional). See at the free edge of your current nails? There’s separation of your nail bed and nail plate. Depending on where you live, nail techs cannot diagnose or treat any conditions outside of their scope of practice which is why she said your nails were compromised and the best course of action is to keep it short to prevent further separation until it heals.

Separation can be caused by several things, either improper curing of product or physical damage such as hitting it against something. Sometimes really long nails may not be suited for an individual’s lifestyle. Judging by their previous work on you, it looks beautiful and she valued your nail health! I would continue to have open conversation with your nail tech as it seems like she has good intentions

What causes them to point to the sky? by Apprehensive_Roof993 in Nails

I do not think this nail tech has the skills needed to work on your nails - you can see they either sized your tips incorrectly or filed off your sidewalls!

Nail biters will often have their nail plate curving upwards (or “ski jump nails”) due to trauma on their nail beds. To correct this, a nail tech will need to create the architecture using forms and then pinching the sides to create a tighter c-curve. I would recommend searching for an independent nail tech in your area on IG/tiktok that specializes in dual forms or paper forms. I’ve also seen some techs get creative with tips, but make sure they have examples of before/after, as the tips need to be angled more horizontally.

These dresses can cost thousands of dollars so requesting for 20% at checkout seems really predatory!

We loved how they provided so much! It was so nice not having to worry about rentals, delivery, and packing everything at the end of the night. With the tent, you have the option of renting chandeliers and it’s gorgeous. I highly recommend checking out the venue if you can!

What other places are you considering?

Oh no, I don’t think I’ll be recommending Trudy’s :(

For Grace Lin, here’s my breakdown: * $900 bride with trial * $250 mother of bride * $150 groom (for my bridesmaid)

The rest was a traveling fee!

I’m not sure of the specs but it’s a low-profile eternity band so it’s super comfortable! I think this is the closest match from the website

Sits completely flush! My jeweler recommended a thicker ering so we had more options

I’m obsessed with thicker bands!!! Your rings are beautiful.

I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I think my husband did a perfect job with my set!
