No sorry I don’t.
But my opinion doesn’t matter, as long as you like them 🙂

PropertyD · 06/09/2025 13:57

You have nice hands but the nails are too
pointy and blue for me

ManyShapesOfPasta · 06/09/2025 13:59

Suffragette nails, they are my real nails, just painted, it's the first time I've ever had them done, I usually do them myself, but there's no way I could have got the stripes straight.
It's coming off on Monday as it's been on for a month and it's growing out.

I asked for opinions…and opinions I have received! I do get that they are a bit marmite-y.

They're pretty, but too long and flashy for me. You have lovely hands.

No. But then I like natural, tidily manicured nails. I can't stand this trend for painted false talons.

littleteapot86 · 06/09/2025 14:01

I love them. Quite unusual.

ARamblingRoseGarden · 06/09/2025 14:03

No. Each to their own. I garden a lot.

Only my opinion but no, I prefer shorter and either manicure or one block colour, sorry :/

Overtheatlantic · 06/09/2025 14:05

I love seeing different kinds of nails. It’s very personal. I just got mine done and waiting for them to dry. My hand looks huge 😳

cryinglaughing · 06/09/2025 14:05

Too long for my liking. I always wonder how much they must get in the way of everyday life and work 🤔

@ManyShapesOfPasta you say they are your own nails but it appears you have gel on them, either that or your nails are very thick.
Do you just mean they aren't acrylic?

jonthebatiste · 06/09/2025 14:06

Not for me, and I can’t help but wonder about the hygiene aspect and how much a chip doing the washing up must cost. But you clearly like them and I LOVE seeing women and girls who are confident in their bodies, whatever they look like and whatever they’re wearing.

You have gorgeous natural nails.

I’m not a fan of painted nails or long nails at all but @Overtheatlantic I do like yours.

LizzyEm · 06/09/2025 14:08

I like them, reminds me of the crackle nail varnish from the early 00's.

Very nice for the summer.

TaborlinTheGreat · 06/09/2025 14:10

I generally prefer natural or just normal nail polish, but as full-on nails go, I really like yours OP. You have lovely hands!

TheAlcott · 06/09/2025 14:10

You have beautiful hands, OP.

Not a fan of the long, 'nail art' look myself, though. A plain, neutral colour or a light French manicure on short nails is my personal preference.

mymblemoomin · 06/09/2025 14:10

@ARamblingRoseGarden your nails look clean and fresh and ready for gardening!

@Overtheatlantic that red is my favourite colour. I love it.

@cryinglaughing I’ve been having my nails done for so long now that I don’t really struggle with anything, except opening a can. But I don’t really do that very often

Many thanks. 😀

mymblemoomin · 06/09/2025 14:12

Thank you all for your lovely compliments on my hands. No one has ever commented on them before so it’s very nice to hear.

No. But then I like natural, tidily manicured nails. I can't stand this trend for painted false talons.

Unless going out at night, I also like to see the nails, otherwise anything could be lurking.
2 coats of Essie Mademoiselle and 2 of top coat is my everyday. Nice and clean.
I don't even like gel as it thickens the nails and thick nails are a sign of health problems.
