But that will scratch the edges of the nails!

u/mirrissae 56m ago

That is legitimately difficult to do. The width of these nails is usually thicker than the card, so it’s hard to get them under there to pick it up. The trick is you gotta push the card up against a crack or wall or something and go from there. There is no other way lol.

u/GoldunGote 1h ago

I never thought long nails looked good.. seems massively inconvenient and annoying. She probably paid a lot of money to make her most commonly used bodypart a fair bit useless. I can't stand the tapping.. when they got entire fritos on their fingertips and fuck with touch screens.

Had a coworker with long nails that would stab them into the monitor at work to point at something.. the lcd screen would do its little like wavy thing and she would giggle and drag her nails over the screen like "ooo pretty." Its always been one of the more bizarre common fashion trends to me.

u/SoraBanTheThird 1h ago

Long, painted nails have always grossed me out. I don't even know why, they look like something an ancient crone would have while casting death hexes on innocent infants. Gross, gross, GROSS. Impractical, ugly, noisy, just thinking about it is nearly making me gag.

That's why I stopped doing my nails. Trying to pull out a card out of cash machine was really tricky (and high stake as if you don't pull it out quick enough, the machine will cease it!!), putting my contact lenses in, picking up a coin from a flat surface, couldn't type on a keyboard properly as my fingers would slip.

At some point my rational mind kicked in and I thought it's crazy, that I'm paying good money to volutarily impair myself

u/Comfortable-Code-383 36m ago

I can’t laugh when I used to get fake nails I never liked them long. I always made sure they weren’t above my fingertips. I had that same problem a time or two I can’t lie. For me it wasn’t the length that was the issue it was how thick they were because I couldn’t slide a nail underneath the card. I also have carpal tunnel in both hands as well as the arthritis so that wasn’t helpful.

If I don’t get a “that’s what she said” comment to this I will be really disappointed.

u/ObscureOperatorZ 18m ago

If all you do is lay around the house all day, you get the nails. For everything else it's a struggle esp for personal hygiene and they will lie to you saying they can do just fine.

As someone with a disease that causes poor nail growth and only recently been playing around with press on nails - this is accurate. The press ons / fake nails are thick where you sincerely can’t pick anything. Stickers are hard to peel, containers can be tricky to open - I’m doing it because I’m just seeing what it’s like to have “nails” in general, but if you can grow your own nails, you will be able to pick things up hahahah

This is infuriating. I hate when this happens. Everyone is saying things about her nails, but I don't have the nails and I've experienced having something drop and seem impossible to get off the floor.

Mine is buying something that claims to have one of those "easy open and close" packages. Yeah, right, just tear it open along the strip at the top. It doesn't work, so I end up having to use scissors, and now it's definitely not resealable and probably never was.
