Oh she is just trying so desperately to be relevant.

See that's where you make another mistake. I like my nails. My DH likes my nails. I've had them for the better part of 30 years. They were ALWAYS relevant to me. It matters not one iota what you think of them. Zero.

The difference between you and me is that I couldn't care less what you wear. It's your body and you can do with it what you like. It speaks volumes about your character that something as innocuous as my nails is bothering you SOOOO much.

The bigger differences is, I believe, the nails themselves. I've never met a smart person wearing acrylic nails.

Well, several of my med students wear them, and I'd be willing to bet quite a bit that they are smarter than you are.

Well, I hope you informed your med students that once they start clinical rotations they'll have to get rid of their long nails. No way you can scrub in properly.

Well you know better than the actual doctors, that's for sure.

Students are not yet doctors. And med students take classes from faculty who are not all practicing clinicians.

They are actually banned in any reputable hospital for clinical staff and have been for some time. The long acrylic fingernails of nurses were linked to lethal outbreaks of bacterial infections in NICU babies.

How is this at all relevant to a 16 year old or someone working in an office?

It’s relevant to the post about med students wearing these nails, which is the sub-topic PP was replying to. Try to keep up.

looks trashy and pretty much only low class people have nails like that.

Truly classy people never speak of others in this way.

That’s definitely not true. They may not say that to your face but they will say it with their friends for sure. And since this forum is anonymous then anything goes.

+1. I grew up super-WASP and I assure you there is a strong code of how “things are done” and how they are not done.

It's cute how you think that your way is the right way and that people are aspiring to be like you.

It’s cute that you don’t think your “style choices” affect your life negatively in any way.

My nails have affected me negatively exactly zero times, other than this ignoble thread. Never lost an opportunity as a result of my nails. Is it a WASP thing to concern yourself with such irrelevant matters? Is it a result of so many women not having careers and therefore having nothing better to do in your circles?

You’ll never know.

I see. Your latest post is as intelligent and well-thought-out as the previous ones.

I posted about my med students. That post was in response to some fool's nonsense about how no one smart has ever had acrylic nails. My students are plenty smart. And the ones with the long, acrylic jeweled nails are 1M or 2M, and as such are either not working in a clinical setting at all yet, or not wearing their nails like that when they are. Either way -- they are plenty smart. Unlike the PP who says that anyone with acrylic nails is not.

I can’t make you want to have class. That doesn’t mean you don’t understand. You are simply making a choice.

Are you sure you have class? Or is it something mommy dearest told you? Because you haven't displayed it on this thread yet.

Of course we can. Some trashy people here with 2 inch long lime green talons are having some regrets and getting defensive. Fake nails run the gamut from decent looking to gutter trash. Mostly depends on length and color.

Whether it's something like this https://dndgel.com/product/ferrari-red/ or something like this https://www.pinterest.com/pin/535013630733288836/ it's still none of your business.

I will laugh my fat ass off at lime green triangle nails as much I please. They look f'ing stupid.

Acrylic nails are more than simply a fashion statement. They are a status symbol.

From this article, which is several years old. Acrylics are even more mainstream now. https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/acrylic-nails-class-meaning

It's also relevant to a 16 year old working anywhere depending on their cleanliness habits and by that I mean how they wipe themselves and how well they clean those nails afterwards. It matters and should not be dismissed.

Students are not yet doctors. And med students take classes from faculty who are not all practicing clinicians.

Nursing students do clinical work and are not allowed to wear nail polish or artificial nails for obvious reasons.

The ultimate judge on what looks "f'ing stupid" has ruled. I guess we just close this thread.
