What Do You Think Of Acrylic Nails?

[april]

Toes are always painted. fingers only on special occasions, i have long natural nails, i keep them round and always clean, nothing looks nastier them a cute chick with chipped polish

But not gonna lie only reason i have natural long nails is because i did the solar gel nails thing for a yr to train myself not to bite my nails Worked but my nails were so thin and hurt, took 6 months to grow them out without them chipping or peeling.

you think its bad where you're from? weaves here are done in myriad rainbow colors, neon green, pink, blue, etc, sometimes all on one head. i appreciate good weave, not cheap weave

Lol! cn

I don't even like nail polish.

As an artistic person, I appreciate nail art that's just done for the novelty or specifically as an art piece.

But I cannot stand artificiality. Weaves, wigs, plastic fucking nails? I understand makeup, especially if it just accentuates your features but fake nails are literally a panel of plastic glued over the too, completely obscuring your real ones. It's worse than breast implants to me, though I hate those too. I see it as a mark of materialism/ just reminds me of the ghetto hoes around here who don't care about anything apart from getting their nails done. Not even natural colors...

Don't get me wrong- I like clean, tidy, well-manicured nails. I like looking at pictures of nail art. But walking around daily wearing those plastic things like they're real... It make my skin crawl.

Not as much as weaves though. I feel a bit sick when I see a random braid on the street.

i feel the same way. the only reason mine are painted righ tnow is because they grew long and i did it myself. 90% of the year, they are short and unpainted. i use my hands way too much to keep up nice nails - plus, it's a waste of money & time.
