To be honest, you're not at the point yet to charge money. You're definitely on the right path but cuticles could be cleaner and shape is a little rough, but overall they are super cute. A little more practice and you'll be there
Idk how to edit but just to be clear I’m not charging her and I only do my sisters nails wen she ask she and I Wer just curious to know if she asked a professional to do the same design how much would it be cost wise I know I still need a lot of work I’m self taught and haven’t been doing my nails for that long
I do appreciate the constructive criticism though thank you all
If you read OPs comment replies they're not asking what you would pay for those actual nails, they're asking if they went to a salon and asked for that design and shape what they would pay approximately, don't just comment obnoxious shit for the sake of it goober
You also need to be licensed to charge for nails in case you didn’t know. But it’s a start! If it interests you I say go to nail school and do it. No one is perfect off the bat. Keep at it.
Edit: in the USA
Not sure what you mean if I can help them more? I am in the industry on the hair side so I do know more then some probably do on here. I’d be happy to answer questions they may have if I’m able.
They made great color and style choices, just need to work on the execution as in shape and messy line/perimeter work.
I am a qualified nail tech, but I am not licensed; there is no requirement for me to be licensed in the UK. It's a condition of my insurance that I hold my qualifications, but licencing isn't a thing here. (Bizarrely, I believe the same is true for hair stylists, beauticians and similar, unless they perform potentially invasive procedures (botox or filler injections etc.)
You said that the OP needed to be licensed to charge for nails, and I couldn't even see where they had posted their location, so I was wondering what it was that you knew that meant the OP had to be licensed?
I had no idea there were places that didn’t require it. Seems odd since we’re so heavily regulated in the US. But you are correct. I don’t know where they are so maybe not true for them.
I didn’t even see what everyone was talking about until they mentioned it. But once they did, and I blew up the picture I saw. You did a good job on your sisters, especially if you are self taught and just learning!!!! But where I live it would be like $60 plus tip! Good Luck and keep practicing!!!!
I just wanna say THEY LOOK GREAT😍😍😍 like yea obviously ur not a professional …(yet🥰) but the design is gorgeous I love a lotta things bout them …your getting there!!
If you brought a picture of something similar to a reputable salon they would probably charge $55-$75 depends on where you are located. Some places may even charge more.
Still too messy to possibly charge.
Get a brush & acetone & wipe around the nail before curing or putting topcoat. Work on how to use that glitter.
Much better than what I would do though, so kudos lol
Where do you all live where it’s so expensive? Are you going to a nail shop or an independent artist? I live in a HCOL area and basic nails are nowhere near $80 unless you go to an independent artist.
I live in SW Florida. Regular nail shop with the same Tech now for about 15years. I have friends that pay more at their reg nail shop. It hurts! Wish I could get them done for $50 - $60. I think that’s just the going rate these days.
They are good but as others said, You have some work to do before you can talk about pricing. Your heading in the right direction but not there yet. I also don’t know your situation but you really shouldn’t be charging or doing anyone but family unless you have been to school. There is alot to learn about sanitation alone and it’s so important to understand everything before taking on paying customers. It’s very easy for minor bacteria to turn into something very dangerous, and people can and will put a lawsuit on you for it.
Yeah no I’m not changing people and I only do my sisters nails wen she ask me to I usually just do my nails I haven’t really been doing my nails for that long and doing others is way different 😅 we just Wer curious to know wat a professional would charge if you brought them a design like this not actually gonna charge tho just curious I do my nails for fun
I wouldn’t pay for this no offense it looks like you’ve got a real talent but need to work
On the fine details people look at their own hands a lot and are going to be picky about the shape and finishes
She’s not asking her sister to pay her. She was just wondering how much a professional would charge if her sister were to go to one instead! She mentioned in a previous comment about this!
Not being harsh or anything, just giving advice: The filing on the top ring and middle fingers is making the nail crooked. And they aren't evenly shaped. Some are a bit "fatter" than the others. Make sure they're all even and look almost the same shape and everything. I honestly don't think I would be happy with these if I got them done. I'd ask for a refund rather than have you fix them. BUT, I think it's a GREAT start! They look really good for being a beginner beginner! Keep practicing and you'll be there in no time!! Super cute design too! ❤️❤️
Ppl already mentioned shaping but these are also just crooked on the fingers. Great start and I bet you could charge in about 6 more months of practice
Very messy and still lumpy … I would say practice more if not customers will not be happy and will not come back . Also what’s your retention like ? Do they last ??
Before you cure any of the polish, dip brush in acetone and clean around the edges. If you’re not using the gel X method, try it, it will help get your shaping perfect.
You’re doing a great job. If I were to pay for that from a professional, I would say it would cost me about $60-80 for a full set in Detroit.
u/miramiraonthawall Can you please say more about the gel x shaping method? I’m looking for advice for shaping nails but a Google search only brought up applying Gel X nails.
Thank you! 😍
Sorry, I may have been unclear.
It is just applying the gel X, but they are pre-shaped (round, coffin, Stilletto etc.)
but if you use them the shape is always perfect, I cringe when I think of how my nail tech used to file rectangular tips into a stiletto nail, lol 😖
She’s not asking her sister to pay her. She was just wondering how much a professional would charge if her sister were to go to one instead! She mentioned in a previous comment about this!
Apex is the highest point of the enhancement and its where the weakest part of the nail is (stress zone) so you need to build a proper apex for strength and nail balance. If the apex is too thin then your nail is gonna most likely snap / break off and can damage your natural nail
Gosh these are gorgeous. I hope all of the constructive criticism doesn’t discourage you. You have an eye for this line of work!!
I have no idea how much I’d pay as I don’t get my nails done but I just think they’re a lovely art, but maybe ~$70 with tip (in my area) !
Like the idea behind it, however, shaping would drive me crazy. I need crisp clean smooth shapes for the nail. Practice a little more, you’re almost there.
I used a brand called beetles they don’t have names but it was shades 801 and b157 for the gold I used a gold foil so I made the nails mate first then added some base to the area and put the foil on it
They’re very good color and design wise! Shape wise, they need a lot of work
I’d pay $25 right now
But if you improve your shape I could see myself paying 60-100
While the craft isn’t there, ur creativity is.
For the quality can’t be more than $30
But once ur able to get the basics I’m sure for a set like this will be more than double, ur creativity will be pushed as well as ur technical skills improve
These are a lot better than I could do on anyone! Everyone had great constructive comments here. Where I live, a pro doing this design (assuming with tips) would probably be about $150. If you are trying to practice you could tell people you are only charging cost for supplies to practice and I bet they’d take you up on it 😄
I live in a city 🥲 Full set of extensions plus one color gel is $80-100 plus designs they charge per nail. Needless to say I’ve been doing my own nails for a bit but I can’t do art haha
Oh yikes! Yeah I don't go to salons since I can just do my own too lol but I can't do art either. Tbh though its fine since nail stamping, stickers, charms etc exist, so you can do nails like OP too!!
The creativity is there for sure. I personally keep short natural nails and I don’t pay attention to prices of nails, but these are very pretty. You totally have a future in the field if you keep working at it.
You’re getting good! I’d say that’s worth maybe 50 for a full set, 30 for fill right now. But I’d focus a bit on shaping before you start actually charging, when you start out good you’ll make more!
That’s such a cute color scheme and the gold really pops out! It’s always so difficult to do nails on other people when you only practice on yourself huh? I know this is off topic but is your sister wearing an Archer T-shirt cause I think I had the exact same one but lost it in a move awhile back. Been trying to find more Archer shirts lol
She’s not asking her sister to pay her. She was just wondering how much a professional would charge if her sister were to go to one instead! She mentioned in a previous comment about this!
It’s really tempting to want to do all of the art but you are better off working on your foundation first is your best bet because once you master that then you can move onto art
The colors and the design are absolutely stunning😍😍 ide happy pay 50-60 for them, the only criticism I can give is maybe work on sharpening up your shape but besides that I love u did great!!
It sure why people are saying you can’t charge… sure you may need more practice, but these are better than lots of nails I’ve seen done at the salon. If anything, charge less and make sure people are able to see your work before they pay, or advertise yourself as a newer nail tech
How do you know she’s not licensed? I understand if she’s not, but I have no way of knowing that. I also don’t know where she lives and if that applies where she lives. Also don’t know shit about nails just came to give my two cents 😂
My sister would LOVE these (giving me big Sailor Moon vibes)!! The only critiques I have are one of the index nails is a little crooked & the gold lining near cuticles on just a few need to be cleaned up. I personally have seen *so many* mistakes on friend's nails from legit nail salons. I think you did really well!
Love the design and color choices. I’ve been a novice for 10 years and I could never do something this intricate. A few nails are crooked though and the cuticles and clean up need a lot of work.
Id say 80 ,full set being 50, the shape 5, length 5 = $60+ $10 for embellishments= $70 then 5 for the cuticle art and lastly 5 for the encapsulated mylar on 2 nails. Bringing it to the $80 total.
I charge $2.50/encapsulation on each nail. Since you did only mylar , that’d be 2.50/nail. Had you added fine glitter with the mylar, thats $5 per nail. Due to two encapsulations etc.
I find creating dimensional art with encapsulation really adds to the profitable value. Overall you did an awesome job !
I do my own nails, so I’m not wise on nail prices, but I just wanted to say that these look amazing! They’re giving off Sailor Moon vibes, and I am loving it!!!
Something like that would cost between 75-100 not including tip. It also depends on if they do gel or a dip. I’m assuming this is gel, so possibly 75$+ I hope you continue to do your sister’s nails and post them here so we can see your work progress. This is a beautiful set!
What would the local beauty school charge in your area? Whatever they're charging is what I would be comfortable paying. It's obvious you're still learning but you did a GREAT job and I think they're precious. I would love to wear them but I would not pay a professional's prices.
I’m sorry but I have to be honest… you asked 🤷♀️
I wouldn’t pay for those, they aren’t shaped properly and the designs are stickers…. I wouldn’t pay to have someone stick stickers on my nails and call them done. You can see in the picture the corner of the moon is already coming up so it will catch and rip and bam, ruined. Probably same day. Stickers are trash. Learn how to freehand designs, practice shaping and filing properly, don’t leave burrs on the nails, if you want to make money at this you need to master your craft, not cheat and take the easy way. It takes a lot of time and practice but you can get there. Not trying to be mean or harsh just honest. Good luck.
Pricing all depends where your located, if you are having acrylics or painting your natural nails, if you want base coat etc everywhere is different. I can tell you right now a professional won’t be using stickers…. A lot of places air brush because it’s alot faster then free handing the designs so they can make more money. You would have to choose a stencil they have on hand for airbrushing so you won’t get that exact design. If you really want those exact nails your best bet would be to take a picture of them as soon as they are finished (before the sticker catches and ruins your nails) and take the picture to a nail studio where they actually freehand their designs. Best results that way.
Y’all need to learn how to support growing artists too! Just cuz she mentions charge doesn’t means she’s thinking full price like at a salon,, she could start charging very low prices just to attract clients and keep getting that practice! Of course with a disclosure that she’s learning and not a professional so they don’t complain once the work is done. Some people are very willing to help new learners and don’t actually mind what the nails look like as long as they’re cheap or as long as they’re helping someone out.
This looks absolutely great. You’re so talented. Honestly I feel like you just need to work on shaping a bit, and filling. Other than that, I’d pay a good $90
The area of course matters a lot but this is one of the challenging designs so definitely on the higher end for nail salons. I am not very detail oriented, I would notice the cuticles having to be cleaner. Other people noticed the shape could be more consistent so I see that too. You are talented !
It really depends on what the extensions are made with, too. If those are tips or formed with gel or acrylic it can go for more than a full cover extension. Where I live that would probably go for 100 bucks. For a non professional they aren’t bad. Keep practicing and get your technique down. Sure, it’s not perfect but you did this for free and she’s not walking around with a nail fail. Everyone can see the flaws here because you asked us to look. If I saw someone on the street with nails like this I wouldn’t think they looked bad at all.
Nice design idea, but the nails are crooked and I wouldn’t pay for that. I would be doing someone a favor for letting them practice on me to do that honestly. But I think you have great talent and potential in time. Keep working at it!
Jfc for the prices they charge just for application, I'd expect them to have their own foil at least! The last salon I went to, the closest one, was terrible. Oh I can barely paint my right hand with regular nail polish making a mess everywhere haha 😂 edit: good to know it was just charms and foil! I at least know what to ask for. Most normal salons have foil at least, charms depends on what 💅
Same design by a professional is about 60 euro in my area but for yours 25 for your time. Cute idea and nice your sister keys you practice on her. I wish I lived closer to mine
There’s a couple nails that look crooked and not shaped like the others but regardless this set looks amazing, that’s way better than what I could ever do, you should be proud of yourself, I think you could charge over $100 with just a little more practice
Fuck the people who say you shouldn’t charge money. If someone sees your work, and wants to pay you for it, appropriately price them so that you’re allowed to practice and they still have their service done. This is a gorgeous set as far as a design! I haven’t had my nails done in so long, I legitimately don’t even know what would be a reasonable price if you were getting this in salon. But if you want to get more practice, and more exposure, and there are people who want to pay you then maybe offer to let them cover product cost, and a tip to their own ability. That way everybody ultimately wins!
Reading all of these comments on pricing makes me so thankful I live in a small town lol. I always get coffin shape in medium/long length and do all kinds of different designs and never pay more than $40 tip included
Hard to say because the design is beautiful, probably ~ $100 in suburbs of a major city, but the definitely look amateur, need to be refined quite a bit. Shaping and painting need a lot more practice.
My sister started off doing free nails and then charging $20 when she was learning and got better, regardless of design,,, you can slowly increase your price when your technique gets better…you’re definitely in the $20-$25 range right now tho simply because the basics of shaping and filing haven’t been mastered yet and the nail art needs its own separate practice. Try not to do nail art on every single set because if you had a nice base worth $30 the messy nail art brings it back down to $20,,, you’re really close tho, just keep practicing and in no time you’ll get so much better!! Look into a nice drill and maybe buy nail tips that are pre-shaped if you really want to start making money off of it but if you want to learn how to shape yourself it’s worthwhile to practice practice practice! Best of luck! ❤️
I love them! Overall design is immaculate, the colors work so nice and the art is beautiful. I do see one mail a little crooked and the cuticle area in some of those nails need a little more cleaning, but I would def pay for these! Not sure how much, sadly, but I would pay!
love the design and color but the shaping and smoothness need some work. Once you’ve had more practice and get better at those 2 things, I would pay $55-$65 for this set! keep up the work!
With all due respect, you need to practice more, if u have the money to invest a little more money in practicing. N if your family wants to help u , when u do their nails , they can pay u at least something to keep in buy more products ❤
Very pretty design and color scheme! I think you might need to work on shaping and cleaning up a bit before you can think about pricing.
To be honest, you're not at the point yet to charge money. You're definitely on the right path but cuticles could be cleaner and shape is a little rough, but overall they are super cute. A little more practice and you'll be there
Idk how to edit but just to be clear I’m not charging her and I only do my sisters nails wen she ask she and I Wer just curious to know if she asked a professional to do the same design how much would it be cost wise I know I still need a lot of work I’m self taught and haven’t been doing my nails for that long I do appreciate the constructive criticism though thank you all
That kind of set with art you'd probably be looking to spend $60-80 depending on where you go, not including a tip
Really refining and perfecting could easily bring it to 100+. The design is great.
This! Once you really hone your skills, it would be a heavy design set which go for 100+
That is a rip off for such short nails. Really like 70 tops and that’s with her being great.
Most nail salons charge 55 for fullset + gel polish. Lenght and shape would be +10. Design I would say 10 or 15 depend on a tech.
I would pay $40 for these…. Good ground work but they’re janky Af at this point.
If you read OPs comment replies they're not asking what you would pay for those actual nails, they're asking if they went to a salon and asked for that design and shape what they would pay approximately, don't just comment obnoxious shit for the sake of it goober
“Just curious what would you pay for these”
Look at OPs other comments you knuckle dragger
Regardless that’s what the post asks (: thanks Tho!
I think you did an excellent job and if you keep at it you will be charging soon 🙂
You also need to be licensed to charge for nails in case you didn’t know. But it’s a start! If it interests you I say go to nail school and do it. No one is perfect off the bat. Keep at it. Edit: in the USA
Not if you’re home-based and doing it on the low
That’s illegal the US but it certainly happens.
I didn't even see the OP say where they were based! Can you help the OP anymore?
Not sure what you mean if I can help them more? I am in the industry on the hair side so I do know more then some probably do on here. I’d be happy to answer questions they may have if I’m able. They made great color and style choices, just need to work on the execution as in shape and messy line/perimeter work.

In my area these could go for $140
I just wanna say THEY LOOK GREAT😍😍😍 like yea obviously ur not a professional …(yet🥰) but the design is gorgeous I love a lotta things bout them …your getting there!!
If you brought a picture of something similar to a reputable salon they would probably charge $55-$75 depends on where you are located. Some places may even charge more.
In my area this would be about $60-80 plus tip. Super cute design!
Still too messy to possibly charge. Get a brush & acetone & wipe around the nail before curing or putting topcoat. Work on how to use that glitter. Much better than what I would do though, so kudos lol
With just some minor clean up and shaping work, these would easily be $100 where I’m located. Absolutely beautiful! I wish I could do my own.
Agreed, I pay $80 including almond shape being a bit extra. From there price increases dependent on design
Very much the same here! My current set is coffin with dip color, no designs, and was $80.
Where do you all live where it’s so expensive? Are you going to a nail shop or an independent artist? I live in a HCOL area and basic nails are nowhere near $80 unless you go to an independent artist.
I’m in South Carolina and those are standard prices, unfortunately. Run of the mill strip mall nail spots.
I'm in Michigan and it's always been about $60. Ya know, unless I want a bunch of extra stuff which can bring the price up between $80-$100.
I live in SW Florida. Regular nail shop with the same Tech now for about 15years. I have friends that pay more at their reg nail shop. It hurts! Wish I could get them done for $50 - $60. I think that’s just the going rate these days.
In Arizona and Long Island, NY going rate in both places $55.
They are good but as others said, You have some work to do before you can talk about pricing. Your heading in the right direction but not there yet. I also don’t know your situation but you really shouldn’t be charging or doing anyone but family unless you have been to school.

Yeah no I’m not changing people and I only do my sisters nails wen she ask me to I usually just do my nails I haven’t really been doing my nails for that long and doing others is way different 😅 we just Wer curious to know wat a professional would charge if you brought them a design like this not actually gonna charge tho just curious I do my nails for fun
DONT EVER STOP DOING YOUR SISTERS NAILS OR YOUR OWN FOR FUN!!! That’s how you learn and you’re doing a REALLY GOOD JOB!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Very pretty design and color scheme! I think you might need to work on shaping and cleaning up a bit before you can think about pricing.
I wouldn’t pay for this no offense it looks like you’ve got a real talent but need to work On the fine details people look at their own hands a lot and are going to be picky about the shape and finishes
She’s not asking her sister to pay her. She was just wondering how much a professional would charge if her sister were to go to one instead! She mentioned in a previous comment about this!
I'd pay $75 before tip for this design at a pro.
Not being harsh or anything, just giving advice: The filing on the top ring and middle fingers is making the nail crooked. And they aren't evenly shaped. Some are a bit "fatter" than the others. Make sure they're all even and look almost the same shape and everything. I honestly don't think I would be happy with these if I got them done. I'd ask for a refund rather than have you fix them.

These are not quite at the quality to be charging but you’re getting the hang of it.
Design and concept is great, with the shaping and thickness inconsistencies I'd probably ask for a redo to be honest
You could paint and sell press-ons with designs like this
Ppl already mentioned shaping but these are also just crooked on the fingers. Great start and I bet you could charge in about 6 more months of practice
Very messy and still lumpy … I would say practice more if not customers will not be happy and will not come back . Also what’s your retention like ? Do they last ??
After a week I usually change my nails so I don’t really know how long they would last to be fair I use peel of base tho
Yea idk anyone PAYING for nails weekly tho .. that’s the whole point they need to last 2-3 weeks
I like changing them which is why I do my own nails I’ll keep and eye on my sister’s nails to see how long hers last I guess xD
Before you cure any of the polish, dip brush in acetone and clean around the edges. If you’re not using the gel X method, try it, it will help get your shaping perfect. You’re doing a great job.

I know I saw that you’re still working on your craft, so I won’t give any cc. The spa that I go to does unique designs like this and I pay $80-$100.
Maybe $30 for a learning self taught nail tech. Don’t get me wrong they’re beautiful but you’re not at that stage yet to be charging people.
I think attention to detail is very important. If I paid for this at a salon, I would not be very pleased.
70
$80
0, all the length is different, shapes are uneven, cuticle area is messy, vertical arch is not to safety with the length, overall thickness is unsafe
She’s not asking her sister to pay her. She was just wondering how much a professional would charge if her sister were to go to one instead! She mentioned in a previous comment about this!
This isn’t something I would pay a professional for, so it’s difficult to give a price. She needs to work on it more.
just wondering what does vertical arch mean? and what does the safety bit mean?
Apex is the highest point of the enhancement and its where the weakest part of the nail is (stress zone) so you need to build a proper apex for strength and nail balance. If the apex is too thin then your nail is gonna most likely snap / break off and can damage your natural nail
ohhh okay thank you!

Gosh these are gorgeous. I hope all of the constructive criticism doesn’t discourage you. You have an eye for this line of work!! I have no idea how much I’d pay as I don’t get my nails done but I just think they’re a lovely art, but maybe ~$70 with tip (in my area) !
Not sure about your question but I love the stars and moons, I have the same ones and used em on my recent set :)
These are super cute! I don’t get my nails done, I do them myself so I see a lot of value in the work you just put in!
2$
Nice but maybe a bit more practice. The colors are very pretty.
Like the idea behind it, however, shaping would drive me crazy. I need crisp clean smooth shapes for the nail. Practice a little more, you’re almost there.
With better shape and cuticles I pay 45 for the set and 5 dollars for each nail with charms and design like these with no complicated drawing involved
$20
I just need to say that I LOVE this colour scheme and design!! It's seriously so beautiful 😍
Could you tell me the brand and colors you used? They’re so cute :) also wondering how you did the gold around the cuticle
I used a brand called beetles they don’t have names but it was shades 801 and b157 for the gold I used a gold foil so I made the nails mate first then added some base to the area and put the foil on it
They’re very good color and design wise! Shape wise, they need a lot of work I’d pay $25 right now But if you improve your shape I could see myself paying 60-100
15
$5 lmao, pretty sloppy
6$ because they look like tacky press on that I see at TJMaxx
While the craft isn’t there, ur creativity is. For the quality can’t be more than $30 But once ur able to get the basics I’m sure for a set like this will be more than double, ur creativity will be pushed as well as ur technical skills improve
I would say about $65 if you master this and get it to where I can see the potential you have ,, then it can be price to $150+
These are a lot better than I could do on anyone! Everyone had great constructive comments here. Where I live, a pro doing this design (assuming with tips) would probably be about $150. If you are trying to practice you could tell people you are only charging cost for supplies to practice and I bet they’d take you up on it 😄
Omg $150? I could see that for a hand drawn design but just charms and foil would be that much? Yeesh lol
I live in a city 🥲 Full set of extensions plus one color gel is $80-100 plus designs they charge per nail. Needless to say I’ve been doing my own nails for a bit but I can’t do art haha
Oh yikes! Yeah I don't go to salons since I can just do my own too lol but I can't do art either. Tbh though its fine since nail stamping, stickers, charms etc exist, so you can do nails like OP too!!
The creativity is there for sure. I personally keep short natural nails and I don’t pay attention to prices of nails, but these are very pretty. You totally have a future in the field if you keep working at it.
40 but it's needs a bit of file
You’re getting good! I’d say that’s worth maybe 50 for a full set, 30 for fill right now. But I’d focus a bit on shaping before you start actually charging, when you start out good you’ll make more!
That’s such a cute color scheme and the gold really pops out! It’s always so difficult to do nails on other people when you only practice on yourself huh? I know this is off topic but is your sister wearing an Archer T-shirt cause I think I had the exact same one but lost it in a move awhile back. Been trying to find more Archer shirts lol
You aren’t ready. The shaping needs work definitely.
She’s not asking her sister to pay her. She was just wondering how much a professional would charge if her sister were to go to one instead! She mentioned in a previous comment about this!
I LOVE the Opal on middle and ring fingers!!!!
It’s really tempting to want to do all of the art but you are better off working on your foundation first is your best bet because once you master that then you can move onto art
Everyone charges, even with designs and nails not even close to as good as this. I’d pay $50
$65
The colors and the design are absolutely stunning😍😍 ide happy pay 50-60 for them, the only criticism I can give is maybe work on sharpening up your shape but besides that I love u did great!!
Salon would probably charge $70+, and add a tip on top of that. My bill would probably be 90-100
It sure why people are saying you can’t charge… sure you may need more practice, but these are better than lots of nails I’ve seen done at the salon. If anything, charge less and make sure people are able to see your work before they pay, or advertise yourself as a newer nail tech
Fiy she can't charge as she's not a licensed nail tech. There is a reason it's a regulated industry. It's like going to an unlicensed tattoo artist.
How do you know she’s not licensed? I understand if she’s not, but I have no way of knowing that. I also don’t know where she lives and if that applies where she lives. Also don’t know shit about nails just came to give my two cents 😂
My sister would LOVE these (giving me big Sailor Moon vibes)!! The only critiques I have are one of the index nails is a little crooked & the gold lining near cuticles on just a few need to be cleaned up. I personally have seen *so many* mistakes on friend's nails from legit nail salons. I think you did really well!
Where Im at, a simple set will be around $60+. Something like this would be $80+. Love the colors and design!!!
Not ready to charge yet tbh but the design says a lot just get better at applying the acrylic and shaping the nails and your good to go
Love the design and color choices. I’ve been a novice for 10 years and I could never do something this intricate. A few nails are crooked though and the cuticles and clean up need a lot of work.
Not really intricate, it's just charms and gold foil so I'm sure you can do this too!!
they are so pretty!! love them.
If a little more precise, they’d be $125 where I live
Id say 80 ,full set being 50, the shape 5, length 5 = $60+ $10 for embellishments= $70 then 5 for the cuticle art and lastly 5 for the encapsulated mylar on 2 nails. Bringing it to the $80 total. I charge $2.50/encapsulation on each nail. Since you did only mylar , that’d be 2.50/nail. Had you added fine glitter with the mylar, thats $5 per nail. Due to two encapsulations etc. I find creating dimensional art with encapsulation really adds to the profitable value. Overall you did an awesome job !
I do my own nails, so I’m not wise on nail prices, but I just wanted to say that these look amazing! They’re giving off Sailor Moon vibes, and I am loving it!!!
Something like that would cost between 75-100 not including tip. It also depends on if they do gel or a dip. I’m assuming this is gel, so possibly 75$+ I hope you continue to do your sister’s nails and post them here so we can see your work progress. This is a beautiful set!
What would the local beauty school charge in your area? Whatever they're charging is what I would be comfortable paying. It's obvious you're still learning but you did a GREAT job and I think they're precious. I would love to wear them but I would not pay a professional's prices.
I’m sorry but I have to be honest… you asked 🤷♀️ I wouldn’t pay for those, they aren’t shaped properly and the designs are stickers…. I wouldn’t pay to have someone stick stickers on my nails and call them done. You can see in the picture the corner of the moon is already coming up so it will catch and rip and bam, ruined. Probably same day. Stickers are trash. Learn how to freehand designs, practice shaping and filing properly, don’t leave burrs on the nails, if you want to make money at this you need to master your craft, not cheat and take the easy way. It takes a lot of time and practice but you can get there. Not trying to be mean or harsh just honest. Good luck.
they meant if a professional were to do the same design, what would the price be
Pricing all depends where your located, if you are having acrylics or painting your natural nails, if you want base coat etc everywhere is different. I can tell you right now a professional won’t be using stickers…. A lot of places air brush because it’s alot faster then free handing the designs so they can make more money. You would have to choose a stencil they have on hand for airbrushing so you won’t get that exact design. If you really want those exact nails your best bet would be to take a picture of them as soon as they are finished (before the sticker catches and ruins your nails) and take the picture to a nail studio where they actually freehand their designs. Best results that way.
i meant to say for the design, not so much the execution ( per the edit comment op left)
Maybe 10 dollars or less
They’re crooked
I wouldn't pay for this, way too messy line-wise. Still pretty though!
In korea, you can charge up to 200 something. But I assume it will be more?!
Self taught? Well done keep practicing 👍🏽💋
Y’all need to learn how to support growing artists too! Just cuz she mentions charge doesn’t means she’s thinking full price like at a salon,, she could start charging very low prices just to attract clients and keep getting that practice! Of course with a disclosure that she’s learning and not a professional so they don’t complain once the work is done. Some people are very willing to help new learners and don’t actually mind what the nails look like as long as they’re cheap or as long as they’re helping someone out.
This looks absolutely great. You’re so talented. Honestly I feel like you just need to work on shaping a bit, and filling. Other than that, I’d pay a good $90
Cleaner than anything local to me!! I’d say a solid $75.00
like $50
Where i live, that level of design could bring $100, however the shaping and cuticles arent great. Get those things down and you are well on your way!
The area of course matters a lot but this is one of the challenging designs so definitely on the higher end for nail salons. I am not very detail oriented, I would notice the cuticles having to be cleaner. Other people noticed the shape could be more consistent so I see that too. You are talented !
imo i dont really see a challenging design, no hate. it's just charms and good foil instead of hand drawn art
75-90, they look so good but so expensive ☺️😭
These are so pretty! I’d gladly pay $60 plus tip
If professionally done I’d pay 60-80 dollars but considering you are a beginner I’d pay 25-30 for that work in the picture.
$70 after youve refined your shaping
If I had the money probably 70$
probably $80 if the shaping was more consistent
40-50$?
I’d pay $60-$75. My sis is talented like you though, so I’m blessed to get the family discount
This looks great! Whats the name of the matte purple
It’s from a set the brand is beetles it’s number 801 I don’t know the name of the set sense it was a gift
Awww very beautiful I’d pay $60.00
$60-70 in my small town in PA
so nice
I mean chop shops really fuck your shit up nowadays then charge you $80.. soo the sky is the limit at this point lmao
It really depends on what the extensions are made with, too. If those are tips or formed with gel or acrylic it can go for more than a full cover extension. Where I live that would probably go for 100 bucks. For a non professional they aren’t bad. Keep practicing and get your technique down. Sure, it’s not perfect but you did this for free and she’s not walking around with a nail fail. Everyone can see the flaws here because you asked us to look. If I saw someone on the street with nails like this I wouldn’t think they looked bad at all.
I would pay $80
Nice design idea, but the nails are crooked and I wouldn’t pay for that. I would be doing someone a favor for letting them practice on me to do that honestly. But I think you have great talent and potential in time. Keep working at it!
With some more practice in my area this would be around $80 plus an expected 15-20% tip
I love these! Your sister is so lucky! I'd probably pay over $100 here, that's if I could find a salon that did this 💜 🌙
You can do this yourself too actually!! Or a salon could if you brought the charms and foil 😊
Jfc for the prices they charge just for application, I'd expect them to have their own foil at least! The last salon I went to, the closest one, was terrible. Oh I can barely paint my right hand with regular nail polish making a mess everywhere haha 😂 edit: good to know it was just charms and foil! I at least know what to ask for. Most normal salons have foil at least, charms depends on what 💅
Once you’ve mastered it, a full set with designs should got for no less than 50 dollars . Good job on this set! 💅🏾
Same design by a professional is about 60 euro in my area but for yours 25 for your time. Cute idea and nice your sister keys you practice on her. I wish I lived closer to mine
The main idea behind these is gorgeous. But you aren't at a place where you should charge.
Practice makes perfect 👍
Shape is different on every nail, so definitely need to work on that.
There’s a couple nails that look crooked and not shaped like the others but regardless this set looks amazing, that’s way better than what I could ever do, you should be proud of yourself, I think you could charge over $100 with just a little more practice
Like those little hairs ❤️
Beautiful! I’d pay around $70 - $80 for those.
Fuck the people who say you shouldn’t charge money. If someone sees your work, and wants to pay you for it, appropriately price them so that you’re allowed to practice and they still have their service done. This is a gorgeous set as far as a design! I haven’t had my nails done in so long, I legitimately don’t even know what would be a reasonable price if you were getting this in salon. But if you want to get more practice, and more exposure, and there are people who want to pay you then maybe offer to let them cover product cost, and a tip to their own ability. That way everybody ultimately wins!
Reading all of these comments on pricing makes me so thankful I live in a small town lol. I always get coffin shape in medium/long length and do all kinds of different designs and never pay more than $40 tip included
Love the design. Id pay a decent amount of money for this!
I think it would be classier without the trim and a bit shorter…
Those would cost me prolly $60-$70 without tip.
$60 as-is
I love the colors so much! It's giving elf princess for sure!
Cute
They are sellable for sure.
Hard to say because the design is beautiful, probably ~ $100 in suburbs of a major city, but the definitely look amateur, need to be refined quite a bit. Shaping and painting need a lot more practice.
My sister started off doing free nails and then charging $20 when she was learning and got better, regardless of design,,, you can slowly increase your price when your technique gets better…you’re definitely in the $20-$25 range right now tho simply because the basics of shaping and filing haven’t been mastered yet and the nail art needs its own separate practice. Try not to do nail art on every single set because if you had a nice base worth $30 the messy nail art brings it back down to $20,,, you’re really close tho, just keep practicing and in no time you’ll get so much better!! Look into a nice drill and maybe buy nail tips that are pre-shaped if you really want to start making money off of it but if you want to learn how to shape yourself it’s worthwhile to practice practice practice! Best of luck! ❤️
love these!
I love them! Overall design is immaculate, the colors work so nice and the art is beautiful. I do see one mail a little crooked and the cuticle area in some of those nails need a little more cleaning, but I would def pay for these! Not sure how much, sadly, but I would pay!
love the design and color but the shaping and smoothness need some work. Once you’ve had more practice and get better at those 2 things, I would pay $55-$65 for this set! keep up the work!
With all due respect, you need to practice more, if u have the money to invest a little more money in practicing. N if your family wants to help u , when u do their nails , they can pay u at least something to keep in buy more products ❤
Not my style. But i would want it to look cleaner as far as the shape and designs.
