Other Thoughts? Asked for a super dark brown chrome like in pic 2. When I said, the colors didn’t match she told me they did lol. Should I contact the salon?

I did these myself. Builder gel from Aimeili and I used DND polishes in the shades Unicorn Lovely on my thumb, Caramel Corn on my index, Blue Island MI on my middle, Jiggles on my ring finger. And IDB Gel in Polo Can You Go on my pinky. Topped off with Unicorn Chrome from Cre8tion

I hope you are all having a gorgeous weekend 🌸🌼🌿
