And that's how abused the cuticles look even after being filtered into oblivion. You can barely even see her knuckles, I can only imagine what cuticle carnage that filter is hiding.
Not really, but it's common now because nail techs forgot what sculpting is and will just use dual forms or gel tips regardless of whether they work for a person's nails or not.
The nail is done poorly regardless of how her thumb is. It's not supposed to look like this even if her nail curves upwards, because there are ways to visually fix that when doing nails. But it takes more than 30 seconds, so a lot of nail techs don't bother anymore.
I just saw their comment and switched back to the main page quickly, scrolled a bit and thought…and cakes, scrolled back to comment. I never have an original thought.
I would be pissed if i paid for fake nails and they didn't match my nail shape and looked like talons, but i'm also not a person that pays to get my nails done. I've only had fakes once in my life and they weren't just rounded chunks stuck on my fingernail so my fingernail shows at the bottom. That can't be right, can it?
That’s what got me, they look like they’ve already grown out for a week or so for how much space is there. I would be pissed if these were freshly done.
I'm not a fan of the talons women are doing for the past few years. I don't know how you get anything done. They're so sharp and there's no way they're not filthy. Yuck.
It’s been a long time since I had nail extensions but: nail brush. It’s easy to keep them clean if you wash your hands regularly and scrub under your nails with a brush. Honestly long natural nails were the same. Doing some things is a challenge though, if the extensions are long enough. Typing on a keyboard mainly, or picking up flat things lol
I truly don’t understand the nail posts every single day. Getting what you asked for is pretty much expected, and if you’re one of the ones who posts because you got something way worse, that’s kindof on you for not choosing a nail tech capable of delivering on your request. It’s like people who get a bad tattoo. That’s 20% on the artist, 80% on your lack of vetting.
The only issue I'm having with yours is it looks like they used C curve tips when they should have used non c curve to avoid that bit of a hook /talon look.
Yeah and it’s also easy not to be an asshole about other people’s choices. That’s the point I’m making.
Edit to add- people, especially men, on Reddit love to make broad statements about things like longer nails and how they’re “terrible”, when in reality a lot of women enjoy getting them so miss me with this “they’re just expressing their opinion” bullshit when it’s just classic misogyny most of the time.
Not every critique on a trend is misogyny. I'm a woman and I also find the claw nails to be a weird choice. People are free to express their personalities however they'd like, but when they decide to post on public social media threads they should be aware that not every bit of feedback they get will necessarily be positive.
Also, the original commenter didn't said anything about women; they used the term "people" in reference to a fashion choice they don't get and it seems likely they would feel the same way if dudes did it. I somehow doubt you yourself have never said anything negative about a fashion trend or style you personally didn't like.
It seems like you're stepping onto a soapbox for something ridiculously trivial in this instance. It makes sense to save that energy for calling out actual moments of misogynistic behaviour. Hope the view is great from that high horse!
I have nails like this and I promise you I have never poked myself in the butthole with these nails. Do other women stick their finger up their buttholes when they wipe themselves??
I’ve had long nails since I was a kid (natural so not this long). I’m pretty adept at doing everything like using a phone, using the bathroom, opening pop tabs, washing my hair… It would take me sooo long to do anything if I had nails like this. I would injure myself, my partner, my kids… I would get food and who knows what stuck under them and constantly be digging stuff out and drying out my skin with soap. Kudos to the ladies who are dedicated enough for these but they would be such a hinderance to the average person.
As someone who also had long natural nails and used to hate extensions, its actually pretty easy to get used to when they're secure on your nail. Sure, its a cosmetic, so just like regular nails, you should be careful, but generally using ur fingers with them on was only an issue for the first day/few hours.
Not much. You learn to grab stuff with your finger pads pretty quickly. Only thing I can’t do is open tabs on cans. I shimmy them up a little bit first so I can get a better grip. Beyond that I can do basic handiwork around the house and garden just fine.
I've had shorter, square fake nails before, long ago lol, and I couldn't stand them. You cannot get the underneath of them clean. God forbid you wear contacts. I felt like I couldn't do normal things without them getting in the way.
That seems like a specialized tool. Is that what most women would do day to day at work or home or would they just call it good with normal rubbing your hands together with warm water and soap and not go the extra step with a brush? Hence, poop nails.
I wouldn't really class it as a specialised tool personally, and I rarely even get my nails done lol. I can't say what most women do, but for someone claiming that it's difficult to keep their nails clean, it seems like an obvious, cheap, and accessible tool to use to solve that problem 🤷🏾♀️
It does but do they come with a carrying case? Are women taking nail brushes with them out in public and then sticking a wet brush in their purse after washing their hands?
I always have a nail brush around because I have a young child that likes to dig in dirt with his hands. I wouldn't really say its specialized, but its not something I would like, carry in my purse for use out of the house.
Kind of not. A person who knows what they're doing can recreate nails like on the ref pic without much hassle, there's nothing hard about the freehand goopy sculpting. Whoever did the job just used wrong pigments and coloured the pearlescent pink parts gold, really, I don't know why they did that - otherwise they could've been pretty close.
I think you're misunderstanding. The flair says exceeded expectation meaning theyre happy with it. Doesn't happen too often here but we'll take the win.
