I don’t wear my nails this long but y’all have to stop policing how women wear their nails

Not everyone is the same

They're long and very ugly.

Not trying to be funny but how does one wipe their ass with these nails?! Legit question, how?

ETA- @lynnedee93 I see you disagree love but answer the question. How do you wipe your ass with those long nails? Aren’t you concerned about personal hygiene in this the year of covid?
There's fecal matter underneath. You can't clean your nails with very long nails

Obviously.... which is why they pay for someone to do their nails that way... that doesn’t change the ick factor....
Those type of nails are banned in healthcare settings, and food prep areas for a reason.... they are breeding grounds for germs and bacteria.
If I go into a restaurant and see a worker with long nails, I'm walking out

used to be? I’d say it still is.

they look ridiculous. What is even the purpose of nails that long?

and I don’t care what anyone says, those nails are not sanitary. They are banned in certain fields like food prep for a reason. :sick:
How do you type, cook, clean with these nails? How about open a soda can

Those nails aren't my style but I'm not one to judge, and neither should any of you, how Black women choose to style and adorn their bodies. Let Black folks have things. Let Black folks express themselves however we want to. We've earned it. I'd rather be surrounded by a bunch of Black women with 50 inch nails than be around a singular, whole ass Karen.

I actually seen a dollar store cashier with these length of nails along with the period pooh lashes. In fact I have been seeing an influx of younger girls with period pooh lashes.

I see girls with the helicopter lashes and the ridiculously long ass nails all the time and I get second hand embarrassment.

This has been part of the fashion of hood women long before the IG baddie aesthetic and will continue to be long after everyone stops copying it. They’ve been doing it for at least 30 years at this point so I see it as a sub-culture.

I take back my previous statements because this is a Black nail tech and we need more of them after the very public problematic behavior of Asian nail techs and nail salons/spas.

I still have to keep it real however and think for my personal taste these nails are a touch thick.

I normally get short acrylic nails with gel polish / shellac. I got them done for the first time since the pandemic in June and have been getting them done every two weeks. I took my nails of last week and I don’t intend to get them done again for a very long time if ever. Even the short ones were starting to irritate me.
I’m hoping and praying that my real nails will get stronger and healthier with me painting my own nails at home.

I saw cardis video of her signing tapes and they were long like this but looked pointy. How do you even keep yourself clean with nails this long? And when did this look even become a trend? Even when black girls in the 90’s and early 2000’s wore their nails long it wasn’t this long

For me, the nails in the OP are too long. Those would severely inhibit daily functions for me, including work.

It’s not even the length that grinds my gears the most- it’s these 68 layers of acrylic over these tiny nail beds that cannot realistically hold all that product in a natural way.


Furthermore; the weight alone is enough to destroy the nails, create a perfect environment for a host of different nail funguses. Then, baking them in the UV light to set them and having the utter nerve to layer 14 layers of oils on those mummified fingers as if that somehow adds some luster. It doesn’t.


Fingers looking straight like they were left on a campfire to crisp and proudly display that sh!t.


How are you 27 with hands from biblical times? Hands look like they planted seeds in the Garden of Eden

Mess.

Its not even the length for me (and I don't wear fake nails at all and haven't since like 2001). But the shape is just sooooo ugly. She couldn't soften those edges up a little? They're just so boxy and big. If the shape was coffin, or oval, they wouldn't look nearly as bad.

Beyond the length, the application looks terrible. They look so thick at the base like they just dumped the acrylic on.
Add to that the dated pink on white French manicure, which never looked good, it’s a no. Might as well get bubble nails since we don’t give a damn anymore.

I guess they're happy with their Wolverine claws during a pandemic. How the hell do you keep those thangs sanitary? I can imagine all of the mess collecting underneath them. Oh well, it's their money.

These come in handy for long nails.

In the OP, the second set looks like when you used to take scotch tape and put it on your nails when you were a kid. The third set is a pretty color, but still too long.

Omg. Not boo boo, I haven’t heard that in a while.:cry:

Anyways, I like my nails long but not that long but if other women do then it’s whatever.

for example this is my preferred length:

No lie - my nails look like this. I think that all these vitamins I'm taking during quarantie are adding to the fast growth. But my pointer and thumbs break due to lots of typing and use of those fingers more than others. After a while I cut them, esp when time to wear gloves and go to the grocery store

If you're lucky enough to live a luxurious life where you don't need to have functional hands - then more power to you!

I cannot imagine having to type or cook with those fingernails.

you wrap the tissue entirely around your hands and nails. like you use a good amount of toilet paper. nothing should get under your nails but regardless of the nail length you should be washing under your nails. i haven't had the super long ones but my nails are usually on the long side. hope this helps xx
