Yikes, I think they look deadly. Lotsa pretty colors and designs, but wow I think they look very scary.

1. Entirely impractical!

Basic things like, hmmm, going to the bathroom and taking care of business with those nails??? No thanks!

[spooky3]

4. I'm amazed that some of the female tennis pros wear them! Nt

[PortTack]

2. How is it sanitary when handling food stuffs?

[we can do it]

3. Talons. Can not be sanitary. Also the caterpillar eyelashes🥺

[Paper Roses]

5. My opinion only: I think the extra nails look like claws.

[Quakerfriend]

6. I find them repulsive!

Couldn’t do much with those on !!

7. I think they're hideous, but to each his/her own.

Other fashion trends I find hideous are most piercings (especially in the nose; the little bead on the hoop between the nostrils looks like a booger), tattoos, very high heels with pointy toes, cropped tops that show the wearer's flab hanging over their waistband, false eyelashes that cause the eyelids to look like they have been taken over by wooly-bear caterpillars, just to name a few. But I'm old, I mostly wear sweat pants and sweatshirts, and nobody should ever take fashion advice from me.

8. To me, they're creepy

I'm not a fan of long nails as it is, and making them pointed makes it even worse. Personally, I can't see myself ever having long nails. How would I get anything done?

I also hope those super-long fake eyelashes go out of style soon too.

9. Look like cat nails ./nt

10. Judging women for how they look or what they wear....not cool!

Seriously we get enough crap in the course of a day!

[Wahyee]

11. +1

Advice to those who don't like them: Don't wear them.

[Rorey]

14. I think it's safe to say that we don't

Why on earth would we do that???

[Rorey]

12. I don't think that expressing that we don't care for a fashion choice is judging the person

I don't think anyone here is doing that.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. That's an old and ongoing perspective

but people do tend to dress in the accepted garb of their professions. There is acceptable office attire, or courtroom dress. Dress that distracts or disrupts thoughts of customers or clients is not very career advancing.

[NoRethugFriends]

20. Asking for an opinion

Zero wrong with that.

[Ocelot II]

23. Not judging any persons, just fashions.

And some fashions are actively harmful to women, like very high heels.

[ProfessorGAC]

25. Judging Women?

How did you get judgment of women out of an opinion on fingernails?
The OP seems very clear to me.

[LakeArenal]

13. Doesn't matter what I think. Go for it if you like it.

[walkingman]

15. I think it looks hookerish....cartoonish look seems to be the new styles. Not attractive.

[kimbutgar]

16. Never again

My sister talked me into getting my nails painted with fancy extensions. Forgot I had them and scratched my eye. After two days I tore them off. You can't do any work with them on either.

[Deuxcents]

17. Who is the person with the nails?

[Lunabell]

18. It's pretty and creative.

But, I don't see how "personal hygiene " works without pain.

[sorcrow]

21. Not a fan

To each their own.

I was behind a woman at the grocery store, and she could not get her credit card out of the card reader because her nails were too long. I found the situation humorous.

Had a hotel clerk that had to tap the keyboard using a pencil because her nails got in the way.

They just seem impractical to me. Also, they are wicked expensive if done professionally.

24. 🤢🤮 looks dangerous nt

[Floyd R. Turbo]

26. My kid has them. I think they're stupid and she knows it!

[milestogo]

27. All I can tell you is that I found artificial fingernails to be more trouble than they are worth.

My nails don't grow long without splitting or tearing.

Clear nail polish helps, but anything else just draws attention to nails that don't meet the "standard".

Since I use a keyboard all day, artificial nails are not a possibility. They break off and damage the nail underneath. The process of getting a manicure is hazardous (the fumes). If you are getting emergency care, they want to see the color of your fingernails without the polish.

I don't "get" black fingernail polish.

Pointy nails seem like they could end up scratching someone. Maybe that's the point.

I just think its a huge waste of female money, time, and energy.

28. So many people I work with have the pointy fake nails.

They are interesting to look at, although I can't help but think of them as germ catchers.
