Recently I had an occasion to have breakfast out which I do frequently and I saw a women and her daughter enter and be seated after me. I happen to look over and what I saw actually made my skin crawl. This woman had some of the longest fingernails I've ever seen, they looked like claws. These nails had to had been 3 inches long maybe a tad longer. They were so long until they actually curved onder. Now I ask you is this necessary? I watched her use a cell phone with her knuckle, writing was a chore I noticed also. I mean this to me, just the sight of those nails made my skin crawl. I thought women were a thing of beauty, thats why God made her different but this is a bit much, I'd say.

I'm not a sexist and don't mean to sound like one, but I think about this womans safety on the job and her employer. What do clients of her employer think about her nails, are they offended, is she a safety hazzard a liabality? Does she have to be especially carefull so as not to break them and injure her hands ? Is she a risk to her employer or herself, does she compliment her job with nails like this ? How does she perforn her household chores, washing, ironing, dishes, cooking without being a hazzard. Why would she want nails that long in the first place ?

How would you react to seeing someone with 3 inch painted fingernails like this, or would you have a reaction or have any comment ? I wonder ? I personaly found them offensive to me, they put me in mind of an animal or rather large foul. She's not the first I've seen with those nails, I had the same feeling the last time. Maybe its just me .....

I don't want to sound crass, but there are LOTS of daily things I wonder how she would do. We have a chek - out woman at my grocery store with long nails ( but not 3 inches). She gets them painted very beautifully. I asked her how she managed to click on all the register buttons without breakage. She said she had some kind of coating with fibers in it painted on to strengthen them. Sounds like fiberglass to me! I can't stand the feeling of long nails. And I HAVE to keep mine short for my job, so no problem.

Oh- it's not just you. I saw a woman on TV who had the world record for the longest nails and I liked to crawled right out of my skin. Three inch nails really does lend the disturbing feeling of something predatory... *shivers*

I totally agree with you!

I have nice nails but if they get more than three quarters of a inch long, it's hard to do anything.

Knowing me, I would probably have walked up and point blank asked her if they were real or fake! I have seen both real and fake nails that long and longer and it grosses me out. I keep my nails at a sport length (what the salons call it) naturally and only very rarely ever put tips on.

I hope she doens't work in the food industry! That is all I have to say!

I'll keep my short nails! It makes putting on my sparring equipment so much easier!

I remember a cashier at Walmart (she didn't last long, I only saw her once) who had one finger nail that was so long it curved under a couple of times and made a loopty loop. I couldn't help myself and asked her why she grew it that long and she said that she thought it was pretty. It was painted and everything. I said "oh". I didn't say it, but I thought it was hideous.
