I can't with the acrylic nails trend

[Anonymous]

I went through a phase for a while where I got them - not very long and French manicure, classic look.

But then I talked to a nurse who filled me in on the whole microbiological aspect and I didn’t want them anymore - I’m fastidious about hand washing but you can’t really get those things clean.

And also recently there is a lot of concern expressed about the little curing lights they use which can potentially cause skin cancer on the fingers from repeated exposure, so that’s another big negative. As well as the cost.

Same!! I work at an IT consulting firm and at an all-office social event I think every woman under 35 had long pointy almond nails.

Imagine that, different stylistic trends amongst different generations. I’m sure there was plenty of teeth gnashing over the appearances of young women in the 80s with the “higher the hair the closer to God” look and the excessive use of Aqua Net.

Shows your age (or lack of)

"Dress for Success" dictated that women in positions where they wanted to be take seriously, should refrain from "exuberant" hairstyles. Sure you may look and dress very much like the men in the office, but yeah, you would never see Texas style hair on Wall Street.

Ummm you know this thread is people pearl clutching over tween/teen girls and the length of their nails, not life on Wall Street right? And let’s be real 50 year old secretary Betty was definitely pearl clutching over what the new 25 year old employee was wearing and how her hair and makeup looked in the 80s.

Betty was right!

You’re a teen? With a husband? Or just making irrelevant comments?

The previous PP was talking about an office party in IT consulting. That 25 year old employee would learn how to dress to match her environment at a good college during interviews.

"That 25 year old employee"? What? That pp said everyone in their company between 25 and 35 had the nails. If that many people are doing it, they don't need to "learn how to dress to match [the] environment." They are the environment.

Don't you know your failure to understand it makes you look frumpy and out of date?

Meemaw will have you know that “Dress for Success” frowns upon such things.

I’m going to bet you wouldn’t tell the Black woman in your office with acrylics that they are trashy. But carry on brave keyboard Karen.
