Friend insists fake nails are real and I’m bothered by lying

my friend lied that her fake nails were real. I have to say they don’t look real, it seemed like they were stuck on? It’s the lying that bothers me

Does she lie about other things?

You could be wrong OP
Hard to tell now because of all the options available.

I think you need to have a think about why this matters!

You started a really sad thread about giving up your poor dog today because you don’t want to deal with him anymore - fgs focus on that

Oh thats really sad.

Maybe this stupid nails thing is a distraction from the real problem.

I don’t know why you think you can speak to someone like that with their attitude. It’s actually disgusting.

It really is.

People generally think my nails are fake when I have gel on them when they’re naturally long and strong. When I have the gel put on them they have to be trimmed to length of the shortest one before the gel is applied.

Disgusting to feel sad that you are having pet issues and speculate that you are using a trivial non issue to distract you from an actual issue you are dealing with?

I think i can because I can. You are free to feel its disgusting if you like.

I maintain its sad and it is a well known fact that trivia is often focused on when someone has an actual problem they are struggling with. 🤷‍♀️

To be fair, op doesn’t seem too fussed about the dog, whose crimes include “having hair” and “smelling like a dog”.

Oh.
I didn't see the thread and assumed the op was struggling and upset, hence distracting with trivia.

New OP starts 3 nonsensical threads in a few minutes and gets spikey for no reason.

Hmmm think we’ve been here before

She’s also moaning b about paying £300 for a dress that looks like crap on

Shes a busy troll girl

JustSawJohnny · 18/03/2026 18:58

I went through a fake nails stage - long, pointy, with bows stuck on etc - (let's lame the time 😬😂) BUT, they weren't false. My nails were underneath from bed to tip. No need for actual false nails, just the acrylic on top as a sealant and to preserve the design.

Is that what she means? They are a fake design but she doesn't have actual false tips on?

Why is that? In what way?

ForgetAbout · 18/03/2026 19:56

Did you mean to sound condescending? I’m not really willing to post my life story on a thread that I made about my friend that I see regularly (potentially) lying to me about trivial things.

I think I’d worry more about your dog than your friends nails.

You've gone to the dark side. Switch the lights off and play some plinky plonky music 🫖

In the grand scheme of things, who really gives a shit if someone has real or fake nails. Honestly. They could have acrylic overlays or build a gel on them, more important things to worry about surely.

ForgetAbout · 18/03/2026 20:14

As I said, it’s the lying. If I had just said that she lies without giving an example then I would’ve been asked what she lied about. She lies about trivial things and this is just one example.
I’m allowed to have more than one problem at once, but I suppose the crazy dog brigade have come to bash me after I specifically told you not to because I am mentally fragile. I have not done anything deliberately wrong. I’m just doing my best.
