to think I am not 'too old' to have nails like this

[Cliffdiver]

Friend today was when she saw my nails and said at 28 I was circa 10 years too old to have my nails painted like this.

Opinions please, and feel free to share picture of equally age inappropriate nails.

Follow? I meant do

Someone once told me the glittery signature nail thing was only good for teens. Not sure why and she couldn't say why either'

I still wear my nails like that anyway.

41. Many fucks are not given.

I am 60

sistersofpercy your nails are amazing I absolutely love them!!

I'm 45 and have always been a bit of a rebel, if you like your nails, who cares what anyone else thinks? Mine are currently way too short for my liking (chemotherapy has affected them badly), but give me 6 months or so, and they'll be long and painted again!

They are false i confess. I love nail Polish, I have about 200 bottles of the stuff. Can I grow my nails? Not a hope.
Problem is im always drilling something or glueing or building something or other so I break them. I started painting falsies for fun and special occasions though I have worn day to day nails with minions and the like on them. They make me smile and brighten a dull day.

I am 50 tomorrow! Mine are a kind of lilac/nude glitter all over.....which is quite restrained for me

I'm seeing a pattern emerging. So is having one nail different to the others this year's thing then?

This is the last photo I have of mine. Although most recently they were a sort of pastel mint colour & before that red.

Waffly 'this year's thing' has been a 'thing' for the last twenty years...

Ignore your friend. Nails are one thing where I don't think age really comes into it much. Nails are nails. I have shit nails (but I still try to make the best of them). My aunt in her late 70s with fab nails and long fingers can pull off bright and glittery fat better than I can with my small, square hands and thin nails.

BTW I am 34 and still wear glittery nails (and hot pink, and crackles...). I didn't think stopping glitter at 30 was A Thing. In fact I'm fairly sure it's not unless you're liberally applying it to your face / hair of a morning before pitching up for your senior management job

Cliffdiver, you are in no way too old for those nails! How bizarre that anyone would think so. They are lovely.

Last time I had my nails done was just before Christmas. I had long-ish, kind of tapered square acrylics (hmm, I'm describing them really well, aren't I) with colour changing nail polish. It was gunmetal when I was cold and silver when warm. With iridescent glitter on top . That was a week before I turned 30, so if you're too old for nice nails, I'm definitely too old! The only downside was that the acrylics absolutely flittered my nails, they're still in a state months later. It'll be gels for me in future.

SistersofPercy, your Very Hungry Caterpillar nails are fecking excellent.

I got my nails done to match my crabs

I did have a moment for a second there MyCar

Happy birthday Fabellini

I'm 55 and stopped biting my nails 6 months ago after 50 years of biting! Loving nail art!!!

Shadow.. Love and support.
Hope you're well soon, sweetheart.
Happy birthday, Fab.

Mine are black. Cos I'm still a goth 20 years later.

Absolute bollocks! Nails can be whatever colour you like with as much glitter, stuck on bits, designs as you want.

I like my nails shortish and dark berry red for Winter and pink in Summer but because I can't paint them myself I don't have them done as often as I'd like so they're mainly well groomed and clear.

So until I master painting mine I love seeing what everyone else chooses. All these pics are brilliant. Especially loving Su multi sparkles, the crab matching ones and the hungry caterpillar.

Sending you and well wishes shadow.

I'm kind of your hand twin

join my fingers most definitely aren't slender, but when my nails are done it makes them look marginally better. Ribbon round a turd and all that.
