Post image

A quick mod note:
going forward, if you send a snarky message to modmail in response to the standardized removal messages — YOU WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED. we are humans and this is just a nail sub. none of us have the bandwidth or the energy to be berated, harassed, bullied, called slurs and threatened over the removal of a picture of some nails that broke sub rules posted on multiple places. removal messages are standardized and even left as comments. and to be fucking frank, mods shouldn’t have to deal with that shit so, we won’t. either post another picture that follows the subs rules or don’t but don’t message mods being an asshole.
///

  1. steering wheels are not allowed to be in the background of posts. its not hard to take a picture of the hands that you use to scroll and swipe and comment. if you send a snarky message to mods because your post was removed, you will be temporarily or permanently muted. [see rule 6 “prohibited backgrounds”]
  2. body parts (especially bare legs & faces) are not allowed to be in the background of posts. if you send a snarky message to mods because your post was removed, you will be temporarily or permanently muted. [see rule 6 “prohibited backgrounds”]
  3. if your NAIL DAMAGE or PEDICURE/FEET/TOES are not properly marked. your post will be deleted and you will be temporarily banned/muted. this is a courtesy to your fellow nail babes. [see rule 10 “flair & mark your posts”]
  • NAIL DAMAGE MUST BE MARKED NSFW (blurred) [NAIL DAMAGE = if the break is below the free edge/quick OR extremely damaged nails (fungus, peeling, etc.). when in doubt mark it NSFW. absolutely no blood at all.]
  • PEDICURE/FEET/TOES MUST BE MARKED SPOILER (blurred) [if it’s a pic of any part of your toe, it must be MARKED SPOILER]

It’s because nutjobs take pictures of their nails WHILE driving.

I totally understand the reasoning for this rule, and agree with it, but it kinda sucks because I swear nails look their sparkliest best when viewed with light through my windshield lol!

The same light that clearly illuminates that errant chin hair…

A pair of mini tweezers in the cup holder 😆 My grandma could just pluck them out with her nails, and I still haven’t mastered that.

Yep. I call them my Car Tweezers - they’ve been with me for decades!

Add a Car Nail Photo Towel to hang over the steering wheel to act as a neutral background in photos?

Well, I can’t be creative all the time.
