Noticing Shorter Nails

TerryNJ — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 19:19:24 GMT

I 've been noticing some shorter nails on some hosts and vendors. I prefer this look. Maybe they are giving their nails a break.

I love a short manicure with dark polish.

Perhaps it's time & the cost. Heard one host say she doesn't have time to sit for hour or 2 for nails

I've been noticing longer nails after a period of shorter nails. I don't know how people do household chores with those daggers.

@Kachina624 I think the younger women (millenials) are wearing the shorter look. i have noticed that Jane T does, too, and her hands look nice with polish. Only a few of the hosts have those claws (some decorated), which look tacky IMO.

Short and square is what is happening in nail trends.

Yes, I think her hands look youthful.

I don't know what the trend is, but I always wanted longish nails and they would split and break, no matter what I tried, and I had to trim them short. About a year and a half ago, I started taking Vital Proteins and Nutrafol and my nails ARE growing. Don't know if that is helping.

But I realize I like short nails better. Life is easier! For some reason I thought I needed long nails to polish them, but that's not true! Short nails can be polished and look good. So now my only worry is trimming the length!

My nails have been short since 2010.

I once went on a vacation with a girlfriend who had THOSE nails. I ended up helping her get dressed, doing her hair....practically being her personal maid. Thank heaven she could brush her own teeth....

I bet her husband enjoyed HIS vacation "home alone".

@TerryNJ I have not been at the nail salon since the tail end of February 2020. I had made my next appointment for mid March which was in two weeks. And then, Covid hit in a really big way.

My nails were gels and mid longish. Nothing compared to how long I had them in the 80's and 90's though.

I clipped my nails all down as the gels grew out. Now I keep them squared and short. The color lasts about two to three weeks. I'm satisfied how they look and doing them myself.

I don't mind the hosts having shorter nails. It's better than those press on daggers or the filth behind them. Barf. It just skeeves me out. Like get a nail brush and scrub your nails before going on air.

I couldn't agree more! I see they may be fun for Halloween, but who can beat refined, lady-like beauty?

Sorry ladies, that is ridiculous!

I have long nails and wipe my butt with toilet paper just fine.

And I clean my own house, and I am typing a million strokes a minute here right now...just fine.

I'm Every bit a lady !!!!

I loved the look of gel nails and wore them when I worked in my professional job. Even then they were a bit of a hazard (like getting the edge hit my a tossed horse head!) in my "farm" personal life. Now that I am pretty much retired, long nails just don't fit my lifestyle. I like my shorter nails and keep them groomed and polished.
