That is a great mantra to live by! Thank you, @rbrylawski!While, as you've sometimes come to see I'm not always good at following this, I had a boss once who suggested I live by this statement:
"If what you're about to say, can only serve to make you feel superior, it's likely the wrong thing to say."
I should dust this saying off the shelve and try to use it more often. Yes I should!
I am a chronic nail- will probably always be which is why I keep my nails long & done. Anything else would send them right back in my mouth. Bit them to the quick until I was 27. Seeing what my hands could look like with nails is what began my obsession. And for what you see in the pic I posted- those are short (for me).I think they are absolutely gorgeous! I'm envious! I have horrible hands/nails and when I was younger I tried the acrylic nails. Now, if you have never had long nails - you don't know how to act with them! I didn't have them 3 hours before I ripped one off on my old metal desk drawer. Sigh...
The nails dont make me- I make the nails- hence this is MY style!Just being honest. There's definitely some skill and artistry there, I just never understood having every nail different. I've seen the style many times in many different ways and for me it takes something away from the overall look of a woman's style. I guess you could say it's distracting me from the rest of the woman's beauty.
Then again I like classy styles that leave more to the imagination rather than showing off the goods so to speak.

I'm at the stage now that if I didn't have nails I wouldn't know how to do things without them (the opposite of what you describe above). But trust me.....I do remember that feeling of ripping one off. I did that back when I got them done with acrylic for the 1st time.
My nail obsession used to be so bad that instead of coming in biweekly, I was showing up weekly to get them done- like I was picking up a paycheck. The shop owner got to the point where he'd raise his head to see who just entered, see me & say...."you... next week...go! Ok....see ya next week *walks away sad*!.....Like waiting for vape mail.....that week couldn't go by fast enough.![]()

Nothing wrong with long nails , it's the "dress up" I'm talking about. I have the same opinion of the over the top costume style face make up trend going on now. I've always thought make up ( yes nail polish is make up too) should enhance ones beauty not distract from or cover it up.The nails dont make me- I make the nails- hence this is MY style!
I can. I know many people don't like long nails & that's fine. It made me laugh cause that comment would've never come out their mouth had we been face to face.
People think they can say whatever as long as they're hiding behind their keyboard & monitor.
It's ok YOU think they're hideous.....my girl likes'em just fine!!!!![]()

The difference here is I'm not one of your female friends & didn't ask you what you thought of my nails.Nothing wrong with long nails , it's the "dress up" I'm talking about.

If YOU like it then more power to ya.
Oh and yes I would say this if we were talking face to face but my opinion might be different after seeing the whole "outfit". My female friends know not to ask me how they look because I tell them what I think good or bad.
Cue "Cat Scratch Fever"...How did this turn into a fingernail thread?
