I love the nail art & Im not in the market for anymore jewelry. For me, the nail art draws me to the presentation & doesn’t distract me. The nails I’ve seen are well manicured, clean & artistic. I love Vanessa’s Halloween manicure.

I worked in the Corporate world in a very conservative organization & I wouldn’t even consider calling attention to anyone’s nail style. That would be looking for trouble.

For me, the issue, Yes ISSUE, is the hang nails, dry hands and feet closeups. Can't stand dry heels or too long nails, ragged cuticles, or grown out polish.  For Pete sake, the camera shots are literally in your face and distract from the articles being displayed.  You don't see still shots in magazines like that!  Models know better and so should the sales people Men and Women!

I have to agree.  Nail art is largely a very personal choice of what's nice or not.  Or what's considered so-called professional or not.

 

But there should be no excuse at all for nail acrylics grown out by nearly 1/4", dry, ragged cuticles, and extremely dry and peeling skin all along the fingers.  

 

Sorry, but every bit of that was in the Belle by Kim Gravel show yesterday. Mary DeAngelis' hands and nails were atrocious.  Yes, I turned the channel and just shopped online.
