    Girlfriend comes home with bright white shiny nails.. She didn't want them like that because they were supposed to have some pattern or some crap but my god, she looks like some crap you'd pick up in Pattaya. (In Asia so it's appropriate).

    For the next three weeks, she's gonna look like a prostitute on my arm so I'm just gonna not go out in public with her. Absolutely no chance I'll be seen in public with her.

    I don't care if it was unintended.. She went from lovely to ladyboy in a few hours. Arsebiscuits.

    Break up with her OP, she would be so much better off without you.

    Umm, maybe try not making your girlfriend feel like shít because she got her nails done? They're her nails not yours and why do you care so much what other people think anyway?

    Because she has to be perfect if she is to be seen with him, I mean come on, he has standards, it's not easy being God's Gift to Women.

    It's not white skin and white.. It's dark skin and white. If you saw it, you'd understand. I sound like an arsehole but trust me, it looks terrible.

    Edit: We've been together over four years and she hates it as well.. She knows how bad it looks. I just don't understand the nails thing.

    I think she deserves better than this from a partner. I think everyone does.

    Not everyone looks their best all the time, if she's worth being with when her nails are normal, then she's worth being with when she's had a bad manicure.

    They're nails, that's all they are.

    I doubt the OP is making his GF feel like shyte in fairness.

    Tell her she can paint normal paint over them if she doesn't like them - it actually goes on really well over shellac :)

    I got one of those yokes with the lamp and all a couple of years ago for Christmas. Grand aul thing to have and do yourself!

    You definitely need to break up with her and start the long search for someone who has similar taste to you in ladies fingernails.

    Perhaps it can be your opening question on a first date?

    She was crying because of it.. Before I said anything. I was actually positive for a while. She thought they'd be completely different. I just don't understand the need for it at all.. In four years together, this is only the second time she's done her nails.

    Yep. Even if the girl in question is distraught over them, I'm the arsehole for having an opinion.

    Like I said, she can paint normal nail varnish over them. I did it at Christmas when I thought the colour I was putting on was red and it ended up pink.

    She can also remove them, by soaking cotton wool in nail varnish remover (must contain acetone) and placing it on the nail and then wrapping tightly in tin foil - she'll probably need your help. She'll need to sit for about half an hour like that and then will have to kind of scrape the remnants off.

    Or, she can go to another salon and pay to have them removed.

    She doesn't need to have them like that for three weeks :)

    She said it was a gel? Does that make it different?

    Tbh, OP you came across as a self-centred wanker in your post. Saying that you wouldn't be seen in public with your girlfriend because you think her false nails make her look like a ladyboy. That doesn't endear you to anyone.

    What? The issue isn't his opinion that her nails look awful, it's his plan not to be seen with her in public because he thinks her nails look awful. Talk about nonsense!

    Or she can go back to the salon who did them and ask for it to be removed as its not what she wanted to begin with.

    He doesn't want to be seen with her because he doesn't like her nails. That's a bit more than him just not liking them.

    Imagine your partner refusing to go out in public with you because she didn't like your hair or shoes or something.

    Definitely an option if they didn't do what she asked, but if it's just that they didn't turn out how she pictured them then it's a bit different.
