Anyone get their nails done like this? (pic heavy)

[redqueen]

(please say no...)









:o



WTF?

[Maddy McCall]

1. I have seen the toe nails here! I have!

I wondered if the woman was going to swoop upside down and hang from the tree with them like the vampires in Lost Boys.

[Kenneth ken]

7. LOL

that's funny.

[redqueen]

9. Unreal...

Seriously... WTF?

How old was this person?

[Maddy McCall]

12. I'd guess mid-30s.

Dressed really skanky. And she had the toes, and the nails. Her fingernails were long and airbrushed, and her pinky nail was pierced with a gold ring through it. The toenails were French Manicured, just like the photo.

:scared:

[redqueen]

22. Oh, man...

for some reason I just got a mental picture of the ex-wife Joy from My Name is Earl.

:D

[Maddy McCall]

24. I haven't seen that show.

LOL!

[redqueen]

25. Ooh you haven't?

It's pretty funny... worth a look, I'd say.

Jason Lee is the lead. :9

[Maddy McCall]

27. What night does it come on?

I've wanted to watch it.

[redqueen]

28. Tuesdays... right before or right after The Office

Let us know what you think if you do get to see it. :)

There's been several threads about these shows... good stuff!

[Maddy McCall]

31. I bet before...

because I think House comes on after.

Sounds like a good TV night, to me. I'll have to tune in Tuesday. :hi:

[Shell Beau]

2. Oh my my! Looks cool, but not on nails. And the

toenails... :puke:

[johnnie]

3. No

[Kenneth ken]

4. cute

or not.

I could understand the Dolphins one if one was a cheerleader or a Dolphin player wife.

The others :scared: corporate branding finds a new niche :scared:

[djeseru]

5. I can take anything BUT those toenails!

Why do women like having uncut toenails?! Blech...

[Mizmoon]

6. The logos are very well done!

But not for me.

[redqueen]

10. They are well done aren't they?

I have to hope they were laminates or something. Something that manicurists could buy and just put on there. Can you imagine how long that would take to paint?

[Mizmoon]

13. I assumed they painted them but you're right ...

that would be quite a project, ey?

Then again, people take hours to do hair extensions and braids and whatnot, so you never know.

[grace0418]

16. I think they are like temporary tatoos that just get applied to the nails.

The SpongeBob and Simpsons images look painted though.

[xmas74]

42. They probably are not laminates.

I had my nails done many years ago for a "spirit" event. The manicurist actually used toothpicks to get the intricate designs and the words on there properly.
Please keep in mind that I was 20 and there was a prize involved for the person who had "the most spirit". It took about an hour to do my nails and that was just for the designs.

[SeattleGirl]

8. Uh, no.....

I can appreciate the quality of the work, but I wouldn't have that done to my nails.

And redqueen, you should have posted a warning about those toenails!! :scared: I'm gonna have nightmares now!

:evilgrin:

[redqueen]

11. hah... sorry!

They're horribly painted... look how far the flesh tone goes past the end of her toe.

That is just WRONG in every way!

[tigereye]

17. I kinda like the Muppets one- oddly cute

well, but not for me! I just cut my nails and do little else to them.

[redqueen]

20. Yeah... cute...

but if it's not halloween, I just don't get it.

:shrug:

Same here, except I rarely even cut them. I'm so bad. I just shape them until one breaks, then cut them all... heh... I'm kinda lazy with my nails. :P

[pdx_prog]

14. I was doing just fine until I seen the toe nails....

Imagine the poor guy that has to sleep next to them!

[grace0418]

19. The toenails are so revolting to me I would probably gag if I saw them

in person. Toenails are NOT attractive, I'm sorry. A good pedicure can at least make them look decent. Making them into claws, however, does not.

[grace0418]

15. Why do women purposefully handicap themselves?! Seriously!!

It is something I will never, ever understand. I'm sorry, but that's fucked up. I like to look put together and feminine, but not at the expense of physical comfort. I see women with nails like that, teetering around on 4-inch stilletoes and wearing skin tight microminis and I can't believe what I'm seeing. Especially in places where any sane person would be wearing comfortable shoes because of the standing and walking involved (museums, walking tours, airports, concerts). I want to be able to walk and sit comfortably, thank you very much. And I don't want to have to hire someone to dial my phone or hold a pen for me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for individual style. While I personally think those nails look really trashy (and the toenails positively revolting), I fully recognize that's just MHO. The part that bothers me is the notion that modern women would still be physically hobbling themselves to feel attractive. Why not just amputate your fingers altogether and glue soda cans directly to your hands? Or replace your retinas with jewels and sequins?

[redqueen]

29. .

:applause:

[grace0418]

32. Thank you. It's a sore subject with me.

I actually edited my rant a bit. To think of how long women have had to struggle for some measure of equality and freedom only to have American woman willfully enslaving themselves to fashion. GRRRR.

[barb162]

46. I agree with you all the way.

Those photos...I look at that and say why waste the money; all of it looks uncomfortable and ridiculous and expensive

[rbnyc]

18. I generally hate long nails and ornate nail, BUT

I liked the Seseme Street nails!

[redqueen]

30. hehe

Yeah, but pretty much anything sesame street I think is cute. :P

[chaska]

21. Wow, them some uglyass hands (forget the nails). And those feet are just

scary.

[Caoimhe]

Each one makes me cringe

I can almost feel the ripped nailbeds now. This crap is just meant to be snagged and RIPPED off. :banghead:

[NorthernSpy]

23. acrylic atrocity! even the ((((((shudder)))))) toenails are fakes!

The logos may have been painted freehand, believe it or not. They make tiny airbrushes just for "nail art".

But judging from the length and degree of arch, there's no way that any of those are natural nails. Nuh uh.

Why do people do this to themselves? What kind of manual dexterity could one expect to have after having a set of those things bonded to ones fingertips? I like nice nails, but those are just scary.

And that last one... Can she even wear any kind of shoes other than sandals?

:freak:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. NO

[In_The_Wind]

33. Nope, not me. Was there a nail competition?

[ulysses]

34. how would you wipe your ass with nails like that?

I've always wondered.

[SOteric]

35. ~VERY~ carefully.

[SOteric]

36. OMG!!! That last pic!!! Those are ZombyWoof's toes!

I recognise Pookie! :bounce:

[nini]

39. LOL

His toes are purdier though :D

[Left Is Write]

37. No.

[Starlight]

38. Why would someone PAY to look cheap & trashy & uneducated?

I've never understood that. :shrug:

[yellowdogintexas]

40. if you have nails like that, you have to have servants,

that's all I have to say about it.

That is just WRONG.

I am a lazy bum but keyboarding is enough to wreck your nails, so if any of these people do a lot of keyboard work, they are holding their wrists and hands in very unhealthy positions and will end up in pain as a result. Not to mention the loss of dexterity just trying to hit the right keys.

My nails are strong, healthy, clean and a modest length. I have them manicured every month to 6 weeks and buffed. My toenails are short, and usually painted a nice clear red. I try to get a pedicure once a month, just for the leg massage, (AHHHHHH). Don't have time for the foolishness in the above photographs.


Sorry if I offended anyone on this board with this rant!

[xmas74]

41. The dolphins nails were poorly done.

Look at how bad that fill job is! (This coming from someone who used to get her nails done all the time many years ago).
I used to love intricate designs on my nails but these are awful!

[HEAVYHEART]

43. Hell yeah

Cool nails. I'd do it. Not the toes though.

[Lilyhoney]

44. No.

I have only ever had one fake nail on my hand and that was for a wedding and I did it to match my real nails.

I don't do frito nails or anything else like it.

[DawgHouse]

45. Yes but only on Halloween

and only if I'm going as a skank ho.

[HEAVYHEART]

47. Dawghouse

:rofl:

[Wapsie B]

48. Some of them look cool to me.

But the toes. Nope.

Oh the fantasies I have with long nails........... :evilgrin:
