to think french manicures don't look nice

[bebemad]

I used to like the french polish look but in the last few years I am being to think they look a bit trashy

I agree. They look plastic and cheap to me.

er ok then don't wear them

I don't like them on toes, who wants to look like they haven't cut their toenails for ages?

Back in the day, a french polish was a "yours nails but better" thing, very natural looking. These days they are a shiny trashy abomination. And don't even got me started on french manicured toes - yuck!

Mine looks beautiful, it depends on where you go, if you have those gel overlay jobs then they can look awful and plasticky.

It's common.

Lol @ 50smellsofshite

When I used to have them done 5/6 years ago they were really nice. Now there trashy and common.

I think they look really dated tbh.

I like it when it's done on your own nails, but agree with you about a French manicure on gel/false nails, it just looks like cheap plastic

Nope yabu done correctly on shorter natural nails they look understated and elegant.

I like it. But not on very long nails.

YANBU
They're horrific
I do judge

Here, borrow some of my judgy pants.

I agree that on your own nails, it looks lovely but hate the really long false versions of it.

However, I did see someone at work with a version where, instead of white tips, she had pale pink glitter tips - it looked fantastic

YANBU.

French manicures look really cheap and tacky. Especially when they are on long squared off nails. Long nails are vile.

yy very naff these days. Esp on toes!!

I think short nails painted dark make your fingers look stubby.

Oh Iv'e just seen on my FB a picture of black matt french manicured polish with a silver tip upside down. Quite like it, but would look chavvy on me. I'm sure vicky pollard was styled on me in my younger days...

naff - coloured nails or just clear varnish rather than that bright white of french manicures.

Any kind of false nail looks TOWIE to me.

I prefer American polish it is not as white more natural looking

On toes it looks a bit silly imo

Bloke here...

French nails look crap. And cheap.
Gel nails look crap.
Natural nails look natural.
Natural never looks crap.

Stop wasting your money!
