In a video on her TikTok page , she said: “So I got my nails done today and asked for a classic French tip, and this is what I got…”
She then showed the which featured a bumpy pale pink base, and wiggly white lines at the top.
The cuticle on her little finger was also left bleeding, judging by the scab that had formed.
“Have you ever seen a better representation of someone’s life falling apart or their nails representing what their life is like right now?” she questioned.
“This is me!”
The comments section was almost immediately filled by people horrified at the state of Édaein’s nails.
“It’s giving French tips by Salvador Dali,” one joked.
“Who did it? Picasso?” another asked.
“Your nail tech was going for the Salvador Dali effect…” a third agreed.
“What does your nail tech do for a living?” someone else laughed.
“Did they hear French drip instead maybe?” another suggested.
While others questioned why Édaein had paid for the nails if they were so bad.
“Did you not see it while she/he doing em???” one asked.
“I did but I’m a p**sy and Irish and hate making people feel bad or being put out,” Édaein replied.
“And you sat and watched and paid and left?” another said.
To which someone else replied: “It’s hard to complain without coming across as a difficult customer.
Top beauty trends for 2025
Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025.
Haircare
Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment.
Hair glosses are multifunctional, as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025’s core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up.
2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments.
Skincare
Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance their skin’s appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. “Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to achieve a flawless, youthful complexion.
Skincare will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine.
Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving make-up and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant.
Make-up
Make-up trends will follow suit to achieve youthful and radiant looks. Under-eye brighteners will be sought-after products for delivering coverage while enhancing natural radiance. This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin.
Make-up looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks.
Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect.
Nails
2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails.
“I usually ride it out, pay and don’t go back.”
And another agreed: “It’s happened to me before.
“I paid, left and paid someone else to re do them the following day.
“I can’t be honest !”
“Why are they melting?!” a third gasped.
“Tell me you didn’t pay?
“I did leave the salon with a bleeding cuticle too this weekend but the nails looked OK!”
“Good lord, I have no words,” another wrote, to which Édaein replied that she was “speechless” when she saw the finished manicure.
