Accidentally?

She went from lovely to ladyboy in a few hours.

She came back with a willy?

White nails on dark skin sounds kinda nice I reckon. Contrasting and stand-out-ish. Anyhoo

Haha. It's fecking hard to be a woman man. Eyebrows, nails, hair, makeup, regular waxes, when you add it all up it makes you want to grow a unibrow and join the Amish community.

I spent E300 on a haircut once. I came home and my OH told me I looked like his great aunt Ruth. It's bloody hard.

What did he say that was even that bad? At very worst he was being a drama queen and so what?
My favourite lipstick is red and my oh tells me not to wear it because it makes me look like a whore. Should he be burned at the stake too?? Good lord. You're lynching the op for nothing

For saying he would now not step outside with her for weeks because of her nails. Wondering why people are overlooking this. Took a good while for him to clarify this was exaggeration, but before that it seemed serious. Bit of a sh-tty outlook in fairness. A girl saying she would not be seen outside with her boyfriend (and some girls do say crap like that) for weeks because of some tiny physical trait would be just as sh-tty.

I'm female and still completely lost here.

Surely I can't be the only one who doesn't know what prostitute nails look like?

Or why anyone would cry over their nails?

Or why any man give a toss about what his girlfriend's nails look like?

Can someone help me understand? ;-)

I'd say most men would give a toss if his girlfriend was crying about them and went to bed in a huff?

Maybe she cried because she has PMT, maybe she's an emotional girl, maybe she thought she looked like a hooker or maybe she was having a ****ty week and the nails were supposed to be a treat and turned out crap? Some people cry even when they don't know why they are crying.

Prostitute nails look cheap and tacky. The nail equivalent of stripper heels.

What? Maybe I'm just in an abusive relationship because when my hair got dyed green, I was told to get it fixed because "I wouldn't been seen dead near you".
And when we were going on holiday he cheaped out on a hair cut, and ended up looking like he was selling carpets and copied CDs from the back of his hiace, and I had to tell him to buy a hat because I was the one out in public with him.
Sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind. You can't be expected to walk around with a hot mess either

Eugene Norman · 17-01-2016 8:16pm

This escalated badly. It's basically your standard nerd on Internet saying "women,huh. By the way I have a girlfriend. Did you know?"

But now it's transphobia watch.

Anyway. None of your business what she does with her nails on her dime,op

I'd love to get my nails done but it's a waste of money with my job. They are constantly chipped and usually covered in dog/cat/cow sh1t

If you were any good in bed she'd have broken them down your back after a night anyway, would have been problem sorted!

From Lexies post I can see how something special would cost that much, and it was a special occasion. I'm sure she doesn't spend that much every week.

No she don't and Ill be by her side until I'm dead if she'll keep me.

I like practical stuff and never have enough tools but I have to ask first if its going cost more than 50 euro , so to me this rubbish about finger nails is taking the piss

I have 12 or maybe 15 thousand worth of tools, most not all pay for them self and at the moment I have a wish list of 2700 so its a good job that she is here I suppose but she really let me down spending 85 euro on her nails

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 17-01-2016 8:19pm

Did the nails make her happy? Yes? 85 euro well spent.

Having flipping white nails amounts to the above?

If the very same nails were deemed "fashionable" by Vogue magazine it would be fine.

That's the most teenage thing I've read in ages.. Most boardsies are married. Why in the name of God would I want anyone to know I've got a girlfriend.

The rest of your comment about how it's none ot my business is out of touch. In a relationship, there are standards. She knows she looks bad and she's sad about it.

No it wouldn't because of personal taste, the op thought they looked cheap and the girl was upset because they looked tacky. It's not a big deal, nobody lost any vital organs, but why is the op getting a hard time saying "oh I can't be seen out with her now, the state of her!"
It's something i think most people will have said to their oh at some stage.
"Why are you wearing that shirt? Well you'll be going out on your own"

Haha thanks for the laugh! This thread is unintentionally amusing anyway. 1st world problems or what?

False nails are tacktastic. And these talons that are in fashion? Yuck! So unhygienic for a start. And all the lads can say about them is arse related. So not attractive to them either!
Think about all the products you could get for hands and nails for 85 euro and do a decent manicure at home while watching Netflix.

And then you don't look and feel like a tool for wasting money on crap claws.

Nah I just let it grow out and never went back to that salon. And never looked to himself for hair validation again.

Huh? No they're not. Not on this forum anyway. Not by a country mile I'd say.

True dat. All the same I find it's usually me doing the "what the hell are you wearing?" Most boyfriends I've had only ever had two barometers - "hot" and "less hot". It'd take my OH about a week to notice unprompted that I'd had my nails done.

Don't think the arty-farty ones grow. They just drop off after a bit.

Am I being naive and fanciful to suggest that she could crop them short with a scissors and then paint whats left a different colour. I thought nail polish was pretty flexible stuff, they do different colours and what not...

I don't know. You tell me. I don't really care about your relationship but this isn't the first time you've mentioned it. Also posting about trivial personal domestics on the Internet?

The rest of your comment about how it's none ot my business is out of touch. In a relationship, there are standards. She knows she looks bad and she's sad about it.

Hmm. She didn't feel sad coming in the door though. Wonder what happened.

Here's a test to see if anyone reads the thread before posting..

She'd massively upset.
I can't even comprehend how girls would ever do that.
I'm not angry at her.
But at the same time, I live in South East Asia and she actually looks like a prostitute when she normally looks lovely.
We've been together four years.
We're very honest with each other. Normally she's the one telling me i look like crap.
She has dark skin. White nails on dark skin look horrific.

Look, just ignore it, go and build something that makes the world a better place.
When you get back she'll have calmed down and cooked you a pie.

Serious questions though; I absolutely hate big nails with fancy nail polish on them, how would I tell my girlfriend I think its awful without insulting her or starting a fight?

Ask her what it costs to keep them and then explain what you have left after tax, food and shelter.
No brainer after that unless she has no brain.

I understand you not liking this aspect of her but if she really likes them (unlike the OP's girlfriend), do you think it's a good idea to say something? Are you hoping she'll stop wearing her nails like that? I honestly don't know.

My boyfriend has a really awful t-shirt his auntie bought him that he sometimes wears and I do joke about it and I had a jacket that he hated that he used to make fun of as well but neither of us were particularly attached to either. If my boyfriend told me he didn't like me wearing something I loved and was a bit more permanent and I felt was part of who I am (my nose ring, say), then I don't think I'd pay heed. I can't see what good could come of saying something. Sometimes tact comes into it.

How attached to them is she? Does she get them done every few weeks and never has normal nails or is it more of a special occasion thing? If it's a special occasion think just tell her that you like her natural nails more.

If she is getting them done all the time it's trickier because she'll probably take it personally. Maybe just start a conversation about them. Ask her why she gets them done (in an out of interest way rather than a what the hell are you thinking way). Maybe tell her you'd like them a bit shorter to start. Being honest though women don't get their nails done to attract guys anyway.

Of course if ye're been going out for ages just tell her you'd prefer them natural straight out. Do not under any circumstances say you think they are awful!

Some of us actually pay for our own nails.;)

TBH Im surprised more people cant relate to the OP.Most of us have experienced awful results from different things,myself and my sister in laws all went to a wedding years ago looking like trailer thrash due to woeful spray tans and Ive seen (and had) haircuts that should have seen the hairdresser taken to the high court but theyre not permanent so wtf.
Would be a lot worse if it was a tattoo or something...

meeeeh · 17-01-2016 9:40pm

I was called George for ages after cutting my hair short by my boyfriend. I liked it, he didn't, no big deal. There is a difference between lighhartedly saying something (as it is in this case I think) and being mean and insulting about it. How you say it (the tone of the voice, face expression) it's way more important than what you say.

Anyway I don't like long nails but I love properly done up nails in just about any colour or design. Unfortunately my own nails disintegrate and become yellow under nail polish so I haven't worn it for at least ten years.

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.

You see, I'm not seeing how we go from the shiny nails to sex working ladyboy myself. There of course may be a few details you've left out.

On a different note, I'd imagine somebody is going to realise something in the next 3 weeks, and enjoy themselves in the meantime.

goz83 · 17-01-2016 9:45pm

Serves her right for going to the ladyboy nail salon.

Dude, wtf? Nobody died.
She had a nail disaster. We've all be there. I once had bright green gels for 3 weeks one st Patrick's day. It happens. It's not a disaster. She can use her own nail varnish to paint over them. She can go back tomorrow and ask them to fix the colour. They won't even have to take the entire nail off, they can buff the colour off and just apply and set another colour. It's no big deal. Certainly not worth two of ye being upset. My hair got turned green in September and i had to walk around like an illuminous zebra, these things happen. Chill. Breathe. Nothing is forever

I haven't. Possibly because I'm a man, but one can't be sure.

17-01-2016 10:02pm

I think the only way you're going to nail this OP is to call in The Pliers, they can make those nails disappear if you know what i mean

hatrickpatrick · 18-01-2016 2:17pm

Am I literally the only guy who finds painted nails an absolutely massive turn on? I find it hard to believe that relatively boring me could be that unique.

SEPT 23 1989 · 18-01-2016 2:27pm

Did she not consult you first before she got them done?

Painted nails I can understand, but extra long fake nails? They are extenuating a pair of claws onto your hand. They look like weapons. I really don't get it in the slightest. And the noise they make. Ugh.

They just look great. Nothing like getting your extensions done after a long month of wanting a new colour :cool:

Samaris · 19-01-2016 3:23am

Storm, meet teacup.

Personally, just makes me more grateful to be in a relationship where if I got my nails done and they turned out disastrous, my partner and I would have a running joke until I got the dratted things off about clawing him with my new talons.

No harm, no foul.
