- yay or nay?

Was going to post this in LL, but men are entitled to an opinion as well.

Paint? Yes.

Wallpaper? No.

Nay... looks like tattoos on your nails.

I've just never liked foofoo nails. If you're going to do anything with them, paint them one solid color or at most, a french manicure. This is just too much. Last time I played with nail decals, I was 7.

...yet this is so popular atm.

Baraka_Guru

Actually, this was along the line of my first thought: they look like stickers.

I like the gold and silver leaf look if it fits with a smart outfit, but the silly ones with pictures are a bit too much.

They make nice ladies look like Ho's. Especially hate french tipped toenails.

Really, How declasse can you be?

A touch of fun for preteens.

Sure appears that way.

But here, the manicures apparently go for $50 - not including tips if someone wanted to add that to the mess.

I can only imagine what will be next in the 'fashion' industry.

genuinegirly

I know plenty of people who would blow $50 on their preteen's nails.
I can't imagine an adult with most of those nail styles.

Tweens are a ridiculously lucrative market. This mainly because they're highly prone to influence and persuasion, and their money comes through their parents. It's the best of both worlds: selling and buying.

Oh, I see loads of grown women with neon pink tips and natural nail bed. Wtf is that shit all about? Nothing attractive about it.

And let's not forget how attractive blue nail polish is. Dead people have blue nails. I don't get it.

CinnamonGirl

I paint my toes blue in the summer, to match my bathing suit They're red right now, though.


The silver looks kinda cool, but I don't like any of the other styles. I think simplicity is always classier, and none of those really qualify.

d'oh.

redsneaker

Like most said, I think it looks trashy. I could *maybe* see the silver or gold leaf, but doubtful, at best.

Woodsie, where are you seeing this? I work in the fashion/beauty industry and so far I haven't seen this as a hot trend. Yikes!

wooÐs

For real?

I first saw it on the Fox 5 morning news show. That Indian chick has them - she talked about them the first time she got them done. Then later, Wendy Williams talked about them on her show. {can you tell I'm free in the mornings? :/}

I Google Image'd to get a better view just the other day. But come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen anyone in person with them done. Then again, I don't get out much lol.

Nails are about 500th down on the list of things I notice about a woman. I say Nay, It's a waste of money and I much prefer my lady leaning against me painting her own nails while I'm watching TV. Dunno why I find that sexy.. Must be the fumes...
