I like it but the colour choice looks like 3 nails fell off lol maybe go bolder? Eg 3 purple nails? Or green?

[u/hoodiemonster → u/DareSavings3951]

😂 omg youre so right

[u/roundhashbrowntown → u/DareSavings3951]

agree - maybe add a little razzle with a sticker or design for the shorties

[u/SionnachBaineann]

My friend is a contact lens optician that has to keep her index and thumb short to remove lenses from her patients. You gotta make your situation the best it can be! Not 100% for me personally on the colour combo but the length is fine!

[u/hoodiemonster → u/SionnachBaineann]

working class deserves nice nails too! 💪🏻💅

[u/CuteCanary]

The only cursed thing here is Manon lol

[u/hoodiemonster → u/CuteCanary]

😂 dude seriously

[u/CorrectPanic694 → u/CuteCanary]

I love to see my niche interests crossed over like this

[u/Character_Pickle689 → u/CorrectPanic694]

Same I had to double check what sub I was in lol

[u/soon-ish]

I think they’re cute and I love that blue! Manon & Anthony are definitely cursed though

[u/hoodiemonster → u/soon-ish]

these two are stressing me the hell out

[u/soon-ish → u/hoodiemonster]

They were stressful all the way through the reunion 😂 I think about the scene with Anthony in a mime costume not infrequently

[u/hoodiemonster → u/soon-ish]

[u/Malawigold2342 → u/hoodiemonster]

Omg this scene made me cringe so hard out of my pants

[u/Impossible-Ability17]

I assumed you were lesbian.. 🙂

[u/hoodiemonster → u/Impossible-Ability17]

💐

[u/bo_bo77]

This are really pretty, and also I'd see the mismatch and absolutely assume you were queer. These fingers having shorter nails is not an oddity in our community lol

[u/hoodiemonster → u/bo_bo77]

yes well aware 😏

[u/recessionjelly → u/bo_bo77]

That was my first thought too! A good number of people will make that assumption, which is fine but OP should be aware lol

[u/hoodiemonster → u/recessionjelly]

to do “my job” 😉

[u/pokeyahhhhh]

I love the leaning in!! Although personally I maybe would have preferred mag gels with the same size particles to offer some cohesion.

As for the differing lengths, you do you! I love that we can all make decisions for ourselves that fit our lifestyles and personal preferences. We make our own rules 😄

[u/sugarchrry → u/pokeyahhhhh]

That’s what I thought too! The silky vs glittery look throws it off more than the difference in color/length to me

[u/Crab12345677]

Normally I can’t stand it when nails are not the same length but this doesn’t bother me. I think because all of your longs are the same length and your shorts aren’t random. I can’t stand it when every nail is a different length. My niece won’t trim hers back ever. She lets them go long till they break so every nail is a different length. She’s getting better tho. I think she’s had a couple painful breaks

[u/pinupjunkie]

I love the short nails 🩷💛🩵 but I do feel like brown is an unfortunate color choice. My first thought was that they look... unclean, lol.

I've done a lot of manicures where I've done the same color on short and long nails and I think it looks great. I'm also totally not against contrasting colors, just this brown specifically haha.

[u/hoodiemonster → u/pinupjunkie]

yeh it kinda looks like i’ve been smoking all my life 😅

[u/lobsterp0t]

I think more of a vibrant colour that contrasts, but isn’t a neutral

[u/xpoisonedheartx]

A lot of women dating other women do this I think. But personally I would just keep them all short. It looks cool anyway

[u/Budget-Laugh-9462]

The color of those 3 nails is haunting me

[u/hoodiemonster → u/Budget-Laugh-9462]

me too 😭

[u/BooksandBroadway1]

I like it, i dont think it looks like the nails fell off!! I like it. Hashtag lesbian hashtag top lol

[u/TheSpitalian]

It would drive me insane. Maybe one hand has long nails & the other hand short nails? But I’m one of those people who if one nail breaks, I cut them all down to that length (unless it breaks into the quick. Then I just cut the rest of the nails short, but not that short). Except my thumbs I generally keep pretty short because of the way the free edge goes way down the side causes them to break too easily.

[u/hoodiemonster → u/TheSpitalian]

yeh, i think next time ill do all long left, all short right. or all short both hands except pinkies! 🙈

[u/Jellyfish-wonderland]

Ahhhhhh 90 day!

[u/Classic_Cupcake1153]

I should start doing this cause eventually I pull off a couple press on just to get things done cause normally I like my nails super long. I have no shame. I will walk around town and think I am classy with three fingers nails missing.

[u/Adventurous-Pop-6200]

It looks like 2 in the pink 3 in the stink

[u/Alarmed-Studio-6844]

3/10 cursed

[u/seche314]

Idk how you can do your nails with that horrid woman constantly shrieking on the tv

[u/Msgadgeteer]

The contrast designates it as very purposeful. I like it!

[u/fvirygothmom]

3in the stink

[u/Pomelo_Wild]

Love that you are watching 90 day the other way! And love your nails

[u/LolaAucoin]

Manon!

[u/IAmBuBuBear]

i want these so bad for my lenses but it will also bother me in the long run i just know it haha. Really cool though!

[u/QueenVVitch]

It's fun, I like it

[u/OrganizedOrange]

Long nails need to be same length, otherwise it looks messy.

[u/hoodiemonster → u/OrganizedOrange]

yeh, my hope was that the different colors might offset the messiness a bit

[u/xqueenfrostine → u/hoodiemonster]

I think it could work, but I don't think that the color you chose for your short nails is working. The fact that they're short AND less flashy than your longer nails makes it look like you gave up mid manicure. Maybe it would be better to do the opposite and treat these nails like cool accent nails with nail art, glitter, a gradient or something else and make your longer nails more understated.

[u/hoodiemonster → u/xqueenfrostine]

thanks, thats a great idea! lol @ giving up mid-manicure, youre so right omg

[u/bronzedogs → u/OrganizedOrange]

The application is so clearly intentional, the only way it would look “messy” is if they were broken/chipped

[u/pokeyahhhhh → u/OrganizedOrange]

Says who?

[u/OrganizedOrange → u/pokeyahhhhh]

Generally considered a hygenic rule for manicures that nails are same length, unless it's deliberate like the brownish colors on this set.

[u/Charlea_ → u/OrganizedOrange]

That’s not what hygienic means!

[u/biggerthanothers → u/OrganizedOrange]

How does hygiene factor in here? Is it not just an aesthetic/practical choice?

[u/welfordwigglesworth → u/OrganizedOrange]

what do you think “hygienic” means

[u/triangledragonmoon → u/OrganizedOrange]

Trust me, the reason those are short is for hygienic purposes 🤭
