THE ‘clean girl’ aesthetic isn’t going away anytime soon, with women opting for more natural beauty buys.
But one woman who tried to jump on the beauty trend was left horrified when she realised her mistake.
Alysa Marie went to the salon to treat herself to a new manicure and opted for a sheer pink colour on her almond nails.
And while she was chuffed with the design when leaving the nail shop, it wasn’t long until she realised her grave error.
“I love my nail tech and he slays. Nobody is at fault here,” she captioned the post before revealing her blunder.
She showed off her new nails and wrote: “She doesn’t know it yet, but in two hours she will realise her fresh set she was happy about looks exactly like the raw chicken she’s making for dinner and she will now be disgusted for three weeks.”
In the next clip, she took a picture of her nails alongside the packet of raw chicken and it couldn’t be denied they looked exactly the same.
As she held her hand up to the raw chicken, her fingernails completely blended in to the meat.
While the trend of sheer pink nails has been circulating online for months, people couldn’t deny the similarity.
Many even claimed she had ruined the trend for everybody else.
The clip, which was posted to her TikTok account @amtod917, went viral with over 4 million views and 700k likes.
Plenty of beauty fans were left in hysterics in the comments section of the video.

One person wrote: “Cutlets by OPI.”
Another commented: “I thought it was gorgeous until you said raw chicken and then was all ‘now you mention it…’”
“You didn’t even need the reference picture, the minute my eyes skimmed the words I couldn’t unsee it,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Not you making dinner like ‘Now wait a damn minute.'”
