I cheated on my nail lady & it was a big mistake… the new one did me so dirty & even had the nerve to blame me
WHEN it comes to beauty, there’s only one rule to live by – never cheat on your lady, whether that’s lashes, nails or hair.
However, one woman did – and now she’s facing the dire consequences.
Warning others to never make the same mistake she did, beauty enthusiast Betti Ladams (@bettiladams) took to TikTok to show just how bad things got.
In her eyes, the stunning blonde revealed in her video, she’d leave the salon with a classic design – almond nails with a glossy varnish in baby pink.
But unfortunately, the outcome couldn’t have been any further from her expectations.
Rather than a chic mani, Betti was left with a thick layer of nail polish that was also tilting up and looked nothing like what she had requested.
In fact, the young blonde, believed to be from the US, was so disappointed with what she walked out with, she vowed to never cheat on her nail lady again.
To make matters even worse, Betti claimed that the nail whizz had the nerve to blame it on her – apparently, it was Betti’s fingers that made it impossible to achieve the design.
Mortified at the total fail, Betti then sought help on TikTok, asking: ”What is the easiest way to take them off…”
With over 2.4million views in just four days, the clip has taken the social media platform by storm and thousands were horrified by what they had just seen.
One user wrote: ”I gasped….. lol I hope you didn’t pay for those sweetie.”
”The woman was too stunned to speak,” a second added.

But amongst the millions of viewers were also those who like the beauty guru insisted that it’s all to do with Betti’s nail beds.
One expert claimed: ”No way to achieve that look due to your nail beds unless you get them super long to achieve the narrow almond look.”
Someone else agreed, writing: ”The hand in the picture def has long nail beds which is why it looks so different.”
But fortunately for Betti, things could’ve gone a lot worse – she could’ve ended up like one Aussie woman who might lose her thumb after a technician made a terrible mistake.
Sue, 48, from Perth, Australia, had treated herself to a manicure at a local beauty salon.
When sitting down for the treatment, Sue said the technician mistook her natural nails for false acrylic nails.
The technician started to file Sue’s nails down with a tool before soaking them in acetone to remove what the tech believed were extensions.
Speaking to Nine News Sue said: “I did tell them they were my actual nails, but they kept grinding them still.”
After the treatment, Sue contracted a bacteria called staph, which lives harmlessly on the skin, often in the nose, armpits and on the buttocks, according to the NHS.
But, it can cause an infection if it gets into the body via a bite or cut, and can be spread via close skin contact, sharing things like towels or toothbrushes and coming into contact with droplets in coughs and sneezes, which the NHS states is less common.
After being infected, Sue said she spent five days in hospital after finding out that part of her thumb bone would have to be removed.
She said: “It really throbs and you can’t get away from it.
“You wouldn’t go into a dirty dentist, so why would you go into a dirty nail bar?”
Doctors told Sue that the worst case scenario is that she loses her thumb, and she is now seeking compensation as she claims hygiene rules were not followed.
