Many women hope to have perfectly manicured and painted nails when they're proposed to so that their hands look good while photographing or showing off their new engagement ring. Knowing this, Ansan Nguyen wanted to ensure his girlfriend's nails looked great before he proposed to her. The tricky part was that he was her nail technician and didn't want to make it obvious that he was about to pop the question.
"She thinks this is just her regular, weekly nail appointment. Little does she know, I'm going to ask her to marry me," Nguyen said in a video posted on TikTok of himself doing his girlfriend's nails.
He continued: "I genuinely believe that she's not suspicious at all because this is such a regular thing for her. She just assumes she's getting her weekly nail refresh."
It's common for engagement nails to be French tips, or a shade of pink or white. So that was off the table.
"I didn't want to make her suspicious so I didn't do your typical engagement nail. I wanted to do like Hailey Bieber nails, or pearly white chrome. But she's way too smart and would jump to conclusions," Nguyen said. "So I decided to do these glass nails. I saw them on TikTok and they're really trendy. It also looks very simple to me and would work as engagement nails, but it doesn't scream, 'Hey, I'm gonna propose to you.' "

Luckily, everything went according to plan. Nguyen's girlfriend was surprised and "she said yes!"
At the end of the TikTok video was a photo of the newly engaged couple moments after Nguyen put a diamond ring on his girlfriend's lefthand ring finger. The two smile side by side wearing matching black long-sleeve shirts and blue jeans.
"She secured free nails for life!" Nguyen captioned his video.
TikTok users in the comments section were overjoyed for the couple, but noted that the bride-to-be is especially lucky because not every man is willing to do his fiancée's nails every week for free.
"Wait, those are fantastic proposal nails! They make her fingers look so long and elegant but they're not flashy! Perfect for showing off a ring!!" one person commented, while another added, "She won so hard."
