Hmm?

They look like mine, and I'm 33.

Hope this is good news...

TheGashlycrumbTinies · 19/04/2013 15:09

Ok, hmm, well they look a little bit mine and I'm 45, but I'm not a crone.

Does this help? :)

MooneyRara · 19/04/2013 15:10

I'd say you were in your mid to late twenties

BuggedByJake · 19/04/2013 15:10

I'd say anywhere between 35-40.

5318008 · 19/04/2013 15:11

umm they are totes NOT crone hands Envy

I would say mid thirties, tops

MrsBungle · 19/04/2013 15:11

Nice polish!

I would say they look like mine and I am 35.

suebfg · 19/04/2013 15:11

I'd guess mid 40s. I don't think your hands look old - just a little pale.

MooneyRara · 19/04/2013 15:11

and you work in retail banking, or actually a shop, and you like beouf bourgignon.

and you have a small dog. Smile

fuzzywuzzy · 19/04/2013 15:13

35

Bunbaker · 19/04/2013 15:14

Younger than mine Sad

HandsofaCrone · 19/04/2013 15:14

Mooney you're psychic!

Ok so far they look between 25 and 45... Hmm

Thanks MrsBungle I'm halfway through painting them and it occurred to me my hands look somewhat older than the rest of me. It's Essie All Lacquered Up, the bestest red ever. That's only one coat!

MooneyRara · 19/04/2013 15:16

I knew it Smile

HandsofaCrone · 19/04/2013 15:18

Anyway, I think they look mid-40s too but I'm only 30 Angry

I'm guessing they're going to look like this by the time I'm 50?

When I was 15 my charming godmother told me I had the hands of a 30 year old :(

I'd say mid 30's. but it's difficult to tell. I can't understand this obsession with hands. Though Madonna's are totally awful. Good excuse not to exercise!

HandsofaCrone · 19/04/2013 15:22

Vivienne I hadn't noticed many other people have an obsession with hands? I do though, prob because I'm obsessed with nail varnish and I would like beautiful hands to go with it.

OP posts:
HandsofaCrone · 19/04/2013 15:25

Btw, my name is not meant to indicate that I think people in their mid 40s are or look like crones Grin

OP posts:
newpup · 19/04/2013 15:32

Ha ha. They look like mine and I am 38. Smile

Viviennemary · 19/04/2013 15:33

There's nothing wrong with your hands. And you're right not many people have an obsession with hands. But I only meant I think it's not very important. I'd rather have lovely hair or face but not that bothered about hands.

JedwardScissorhands · 19/04/2013 15:34

I've just tried to take a picture of my hands; it's surprisingly difficult to get a decent shot!

ArtemisatBrauron · 19/04/2013 15:34

I'm 27 and they look very like mine!

HandsofaCrone · 19/04/2013 15:35

To be fair Vivienne I would choose new hair or a new face over new hands!

OP posts:
HandsofaCrone · 19/04/2013 15:35

Is that because you have scissors for hands Jedward??

OP posts:
MrsBungle · 19/04/2013 15:36

Nothing wrong with your hands!

IAmJacksRagingBileDuct · 19/04/2013 15:36

I'm late 20s and they look better than mine!
