Your skin is beautiful. I love the shape of your nails and although I am not a nail art person (I think I’m just not the typical demographic for nail art) I think it’s been beautifully done. My dd occasionally does get an ombré or some subtle design so I appreciate good vs rubbish!
I admit to Succumbing around Christmas where I might get a subtle snowflake but usually I’m a short and natural shape with either natural colour or a dark red

No. I hate fake, long nails.

do you like real long nails or do you just not like long nails at all?

smallsilvercloud · 06/09/2025 16:44

Don’t like the design but I have a bland taste, you have lovely young looking hands though

WorthySloth · 06/09/2025 16:45

I really like them. They’re different and the colour is lovely.

DinoLil · 06/09/2025 16:46

If you like them, that's all that matters.

I like my nails 😂

I have them about a mm beyond my finger and a squoval shape. I paint them myself.

I really dislike anything long and pointy or coffin-y, I just think it’s so naff. Also any sort of gel or nail art.

The tip needs to be much wider to mimic what an actual nail looks like but I love a frenchie

I can’t put my finger on what is weird about these, but they look a bit wrong.

And, not to be snarky, but I don’t get why people pay money for fake gels or whatever, and there’s always a big gap near the cuticle. Why can’t they do the entire nail?

Per my message above the tip looks silly as a normal nail has a lighter tip from the end of the finger not the end of nail.

They do the full nail but then the nails grow out as , well , nails grow - then every few weeks they are infilled or removed and replaced.

ShortAndIntense · 06/09/2025 17:43

Yeah, they’re cool! I go for reds, oranges, and pinks, personally.

Fatsnowflake · 06/09/2025 17:45

I thought they were quite nice - but I’ll bear the comments in mind when I have them redone in a couple of weeks.

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 06/09/2025 17:48

You have lovely hands.

IfyouStealMySunshine · 06/09/2025 17:52

Autumn cat eye effect. I’m addicted to this technique keep just getting different colours.

Surprisingly long-lasting stick on ones.

You also have FABULOUS hands

Mine look like shovels

pengwig · 06/09/2025 17:55

I'm not a big fan of long or painted nails the always give me the heebie-jeebies but I am obviously in the minority. If they make you feel good OP then enjoy it!

Tarrarra · 06/09/2025 17:55

I like your nails op. I do my own so can’t manage nail art! I’ve got very little time so use semi cured gel stickers so I don’t have to paint them or wait for drying.

Nellieinthebarn · 06/09/2025 17:56

I'm really enjoying seeing all your lovely nails, I cannot join in, as I chop mine off with toenail clippers. Mine are only there to stop my fingers from fraying, but I really admire all of you who make an effort, they are stunning.

leopardprintpants · 06/09/2025 18:11

Short red gels for me this week.. Don’t usually have bright nails but the summery baby pink felt a little boring.

That’s just where the natural nail is growing so the gel moves down with it…

Also this is a more up to date version of a classic French tip

Charlize43 · 06/09/2025 18:13

I don't like anything too showy. Dusty rose is one of my faves...
