To have Easter nails as a 45 year old professional?! 😀

I’m not really asking if I’m being unreasonable. Just wanted to show my Easter nails off! I’m a teacher and looking forward to showing the children tomorrow before we finish for Easter! They loved my Xmas present ones at Christmas.

What do you do that’s probably a bit childish but you don’t care because it’s fun?!

I want to eat your fingers 😕

If that's the reaction you were going for, then 👍

Anjo2011 · 31/03/2022 20:24

They look cute, the children will love them

LOL.

Do it. It's joyful and fun. Nothing wrong with that. I'd be very cheered to see some nails like that on a colleague.

It wouldn't fly where I work but as a teacher I think it's brilliant!

Leggingslife · 31/03/2022 20:26

Really nice!

BatshitCrazyWoman · 31/03/2022 20:26

Pretty. I always have painted nails, they make me happy. Enjoy your 'mini egg' nails 😂

NotMrsTumble · 31/03/2022 20:33

They're awesome! Nail art is my indulgence. I'm not a girly /high maintenance person. I hate massage, hate the feel of make up, I feel awkward at the hairdresser as I don't speak the language and can never accurately articulate what I'm looking for (possibly asd type traits). ANYWAY, I've recently discovered that nails and nail art is a type of pampering I can enjoy, and have found and amazing, skilled nail tech. I'm (just) slightly older than you too. If they make you feel happy then embrace it and start planning your next design!

Same!

In a corporate scenario it wouldn’t look great (but do people notice nails still? Probably yes if they are pastel colours) but they look fun and I’m sure your class will like them

NotMrsTumble · 31/03/2022 20:36

And in answer to your question, quirky nails, and dinosaur themed clothing /accessories, because my 8yo has reminded me how much I loved dinosaurs when I was younger, and just how cool they are. (I don't care if you don't think they're cool 😂)

Mini egg nails! Genius Grin

Chesneyhawkes1 · 31/03/2022 20:37

I'm almost 44 and I have mini egg nails too!

It's really cute as a teacher. It would be out of place in my office. Hope the kids love it 😊

SirenSays · 31/03/2022 20:41

These are adorable! I love doing theme nails, I just got new dotting tools so I may have to steal your design if that's OK 👌

NailArtAddict · 31/03/2022 20:42

I have to say I think they are fabulous... But then again I may be a little biased... Grin mine a few years ago...

Life is too short for serious (unless of course your job prohibits it 😔😔

Cute!

Honestly I’m a professional in my 40s and I attend court hearings most weeks, and I’d have my nails like this!

JaceLancs · 31/03/2022 21:07

Mine are supposed to resemble the little foil wrapped mini eggs
I’m 57 and I’m very senior management role

StrikingMatches · 31/03/2022 21:21

My kids would love this if you were their teacher.

Branleuse · 01/04/2022 08:19

My friend is a nail artist, so now me and another friend always have fabulous fun nails at mates rates

I’ve worked in many corporate environments over the past 20ish years and people wear whatever nail polish they want. It’s fine.
