So I just got a manicure for the first time in years. What do you think?

They're lovely.

hohummm1 · 05/10/2025 12:21

What don't you like about it, OP?

I think the nails that's more natural looks best because the gel isn't so thick. I also like the nail shape on that one.

You have lovely hands!

Lovely, always wear rubber gloves when doing housework.

Lou802 · 05/10/2025 12:23

Got to be a stealth boast! You clearly have beautiful hands. Mine are pale, bony and veiny, not that I care much or do anything to improve how they look tbf.

Was wondering if it's just a post to get people to say they're pretty too!

But I can't say I've ever given much thought to if my hands are pretty or not! 😂

Your hands are lovely but the manicure isn’t the best. If all your nails were like the nice one it’d look much nicer .

I think you like a lot of attention! This is at least the third thread you’ve started about your manicure. Are you insecure?

PennySweeet · 05/10/2025 12:28

They're just hands 🤷‍♂️

Can you write?

Type?

Cook?

Wipe your bum?

See to your kids if you have any?

If so, you're onto a winner 😁👍

What the fuck?

Seriously? 👀

Your money will probably be better spent on therapy rather than manicures OP.

You should see mine after years of horses, DIY and weightlifting. They look fine OP.
The manicure isn't the best I've ever seen, especially if you've paid to have it done. I'd have thought it was a home one. Not keen on the colourless ring finger.

Lurkingandlearning · 05/10/2025 12:34

Well if you think they aren’t pretty why subject us to a photo of them without a trigger warning?

There’s actually a whole board set up for gross 🤢 things, you could ask for your hand to be moved there.

But I wouldn’t bother as it’s not an unusual looking hand, not pretty, not ugly, just a hand

You’ve posted this picture before. Do you have some sort of hand fetish?

I was just wondering this.

I suppose if blokes people can have foot fetishes, they must have them about hands too?

Theres a theory that foot fetishes may come from the fact that the foot and genital areas in the brain are very close together and sometimes sensory signals get cross-wired.

I've dated someone who was very into pretty hands. not in a pervy way as such but he did notice manicures. Possibly more so that boobs or clothes! 😂

And yes I suspect OP is either a man/woman who is into pretty hands, or someone trying to start their own nail business (in which case the nails need a bit of work as they don't quite match)

CalmTheFuckDownMargaret · 05/10/2025 14:38

It looks like they shaped the forefinger nail pointed and the others more rounded. Is that what you are looking at? I think your hand looks nice!

inamo · 05/10/2025 14:39

Hands are for shaking, for holding things, for washing up, for washing yourself, and for ahem.... showing off if you've got (very young and never did any outdoor or hard work!) hands.
