What do you think? Maybe I should change it?

It's not very well done. Lines aren't straight, nails different lengths, not smooth. But it's cute and summery, I probably wouldn't bother to change it.

What are those lumps on your fish finger?

Your nail beds have broken areas and look unhealthy. I would give the manicures a rest for a while and get your own nails/nail beds healthy.

Get tested for hep B and C too.

Fish finger 🤭

I’m waiting for posters to tell her she must rush to urgent care!

YABU to think your nails aren't cute. They're amazing.

Am I the only one giggling at 'fish finger'? 😄

No!

MooreMooreMoore · 23/07/2025 15:21

They look very clumpy and thick.

Absolutely fine if you’re 16 or going to a goldfish convention, in all other situations - absolutely not.

I like the striped one, and the blue one with the star. I'm not keen on yellow on the nails, so I don't really like the others. If you like them, keep them, but the finish doesn't look great, although that could just be the picture.

SheridansPortSalut · 23/07/2025 15:26

This is an image taken from social media. Op won't be back.

Ah mumsnet, never fails to disappoint. I had a friend as a child who had a few warts on her hands. They looked a lot like that. She got them treated and now she has the most beautiful hands. I don't. My hands are covered in self-harm scars. I'd never get work as a hand model. But what's done is done and I can't help that I was in very dark period at the time. I generally think it's best to avoid passing comment on the appearance of others because there can be all sorts of things going on with them that you are not aware of.

Do you like the nails, OP? That's the only thing that matters here.

I don't think the colour scheme is quite right. The little finger nail looks bumpy too? I don't hate it but I can't understand you questioning it.

My arms are covered in SH scars. They're not contagious though.. I wouldn't go to a salon with warts.

I’ve just reported my post for removal. This is so obviously a troll thread.

This made me laugh out loud.

I always have nail art but I think it lacks a bit of cohesion for me. It’s cute but it’s too much going on I think, it doesn’t flow well together. A couple of feature nails might have worked better. But I get my nails done for me, not anyone else, so if you like them and they bring you joy then that’s all that matters!

WhatdoesitmeanKeith · 23/07/2025 15:50

Everyone, it’s just an image off the Internet. Just found it myself. We can maybe stand down.

Some cracking replies though. Fishfinger and hepatitis diagnosis being highlights.

Zanadoo45 · 23/07/2025 16:01

@WhatdoesitmeanKeith Hepatitis testing was suggested because of all the cuts and open skin areas on her cuticles (not diagnosis!). Misquoting makes your misrepresentation as bad as OP’s! (If the image is indeed a fake).

Where did you find it? Nothing came up when I looked

SheridansPortSalut · 23/07/2025 16:24

The hands and the social media account appear to being to a young teen so probably best not to pass any comment on the manicure.

Facebook. But weirdly, on closer inspection it’s just a very very similar one, even down to the warts.
