Gross alert...picked toenails!

[AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley]

Please talk to me about making my toenails beac ready in a fortnight? Can I get gel nails or SOMETHING?

Ha!! I do it too. You can get fake ones off amazon or a larger chemist - they should last a couple of days. When mine were really bad I used to get acrylic extensions welded on. They looked fantastic. Had the added bonus of being too hard to pick off so got me out of the habit of picking them while watching TV (kind of...).

So glad I'm not alone in this minging habit! 😂

I have mine done with shellac. Last ages (and I swim a lot) and you can't pick them off

Does shellac extend the nail? I'm a bit thick ehen it comes to things like this. Give me a four-pack of Carlsberg and a football game over a day getting mauled and freezing pampered any day! 😂

I'm with you, I outsource all my beauty stuff

No it doesn't extend them but if you need to you can have tips done and then shellac. Will be great for hols and your nails will grow underneath. Just make sure the tips are shortish.

Mines a pint and rugby personally

I'm having a Carlsberg now!

No football, though. I'm watching crappy Lifetime movies on Kodi while DH vacumes around me! 😂

Oh god, this is my guilty habit too. If I'm stressed or nervous I really go to town on them.

I've been known to just paint the skin and hope nobody notices.

I never knew there were so many of us munters out there!

Does anyone else have a REALLY tiny little toenail too?

MINGERS- not munters! I don't know how the hell autocorrect did that! Every time I tipe the letter F nowadays it autotypes fucknugget! DYAC and Damn You Mumsnet-lingo! 😂

I have no tiny toenails to speak of because I pick them so much! The rest of my toenails were shortish but ok, I sometimes get acrylic big toes for the summer. On the little toes I just paint the skin and if anyone has noticed they've never said.

I dont so much pick them, but frequently have to cut manky bits off, hence usually wearing no peep toe sandals/shoes.

I did have to buy false toe nails (can't remember where from) for a wedding once...only one fell off in the car.

My little toe nail is virtually non existant when cut ...much to OH's amusement

I paint the skin on my little toe too as there is no proper nail there now. Glad I'm not the only one! I pick my fingernails when I'm stressed and then get going on the toes when I've run out of nails. Minging.

And me. I'd bite them if I was still bendy enough! I've booked a pedicure for next week and hoping one grows in time, and I manage not to peel at the others before hand

I once had my Big toenail fall off....I also painted the skin...I dont think you could tell...

I'm LOVING this thread- but also sort of hoping no one clicks on it as I'm "out" on here in RL, and it's gross! 😂

Fellow nail pickers!!

I'd never considered fake toenails...I might need to look into this for summer.

Dsis has really long toenails and I can't understand how she has managed to not pick them.
I keep mine short which makes picking them impossible, as soon as there's a bit of growth though...off I go
