A NAIL pro has shared how a romance-obsessed beauty fan ordered a set of nails inspired by the 90s hit, Titanic.

Valentine's Day may be long over, but that certainly hasn't stopped one person daydreaming about love – and nail whizz Maddox (@ballpit_nails) shared how she made their dreams come true.

The talented beauty guru, believed to be from the US, said that this was ''one of the craziest'' requests she's had in a long time.

''My client ordered a $1,000 Titanic nails and asked if I could bring to life two of Jack and Rose's most iconic scenes,'' Maddox explained in the video.

After some consultation, the pair agreed on painting the duo on the bow of the ship with sunset in the background.

For the second scene, she said, the nail fanatics decided to go for the ''legendary moment where Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, meets Rose on the stairs inside.

To top it off, Maddox had also ordered a miniature version of the Heart of the Ocean necklace – this blue stone was glued on a long acrylic amongst dozens of sparkly rhinestones.

The total process took a whopping 30 hours – and Maddox reckoned it was worth the time and effort.

''Oh my God, look how insane these turned out.

''As someone who's cried over Titanic way more than I'd like to admit, I'm obsessed.''

But whilst some were just as stunned by the results, a number of TikTok users were baffled by the price, which they insisted was too high.

''not bad but not £1000 worth,'' thought one critic.

Another noted: ''the faces are a bit off.''

''I'm genuinely curious tho, what does someone do with $1,000 press-ons,'' a third was confused.

''How did you get so good at painting realistic like that? Amazing talent,'' wrote a supportive fan.

Maddox went viral earlier this year, after claiming she charges thousands for her designs.

Some of her work, she showcased on Instagram, sees detailing nail art featuring famous artists and celebrities, such as the American pop star, Billie Eilish, and even the cast of the 90s Christmas classic, Home Alone.

But although the impressive skillset has amassed her a notable fanbase of close to 92k followers, Maddox has also been slammed online for charging a fortune for a manicure.

One troll was so shocked by the price, they wondered who in their right mind would pay £1k for nails.

Many, though impressed with the designs, also reckoned Maddox shouldn't ask for that much money unless she was able to guarantee longevity.

''Thank god I’ll never be this wasteful with money,'' a person on Instagram chuckled.

After being met with criticism online, Maddox explained the reasonings behind the sky-high prices and hit back at the meanies.

In her eyes, she had every right to ask her clients for such sums.

''The point of this post is to encourage others to charge appropriately for their art.

''For some reason the nail industry is lagging behind other luxury beauty services—sadly many people still expect to pay under $100 dollars for nails, no matter how complex the design.

''And of course there are plenty of times when $50-$100 for a service may be completely appropriate, but not always.

''If you’ve got years of experience under your belt and are painting highly detailed art, don’t be afraid to charge more!''

Another just as important of the factor, she added, was the time spent making these stunning designs – for instance, the set of Home Alone characters, which featured Macaulay Culkin, took her a whopping 20 hours to complete.

Almost as lengthy was the process of finishing the animated mani of Coraline – the £576 nails were ready in 18 hours.

''Pricing art like this is very complicated and a lot of things go into determining the cost!''

Fortunately for Maddox, there were also plenty of people who agreed with her, with one supportive viewer adding: ''People need to learn the difference between “this is out of my budget” and “this is overpriced”.''
