I'm not saying I can't see the appeal of a nice foot soak and having non-grody toenails (I definitely see the appeal of the latter), but here I'm mainly referring to the elaborate acrylic/airbrushed thing. And the fact that these things can cost $40 to $80!
Full disclosure: I find nails, particularly toenails, majorly, majorly gross. Long fingernails of any kind are hideous to me, and I can't stand to see any of the white part of my toenails. If it's sticking out more than a few millimeters on someone else, I feel kind of sick. Even when they're not dirty or anything. Add any kind of discoloration, peeling, or, god forbid, fungus, and it becomes a downright phobia.
That said, when I see women with elaborate pedicures that seem designed to emphasize the length of their toenails, I can't help but feel like the world's gone a little insane.
The first offender was a couple days ago, with this French manicure that would have been tasteful were it not for the length of the white painted part. She definitely looked like she could easily scratch the shit out of someone with her toes accidentally.... I'm hoping this was mainly an illusion caused by the nail polish, but they we
re definitely too long for my comfort.That was nothing compared to what I saw on the metro today, though. Imagine these...on someone's toes. That should give you a pretty good idea. Not that they didn't take artistry. But who wants to a) draw that much attention to their feet, b) look like they have two inch long toenails??
I don't even want to know how much she paid for that.
