This. I think anything more permanent effs with the integrity of your nails. It's not healthy.

Of course they wouldn't. Because they know how stupid they would sound and that they would instantly get schooled.

The women who say this are inevitably the dumpiest, frumpiest women on earth. Enjoy your visible grey and sensible shoes.

I didn’t write that but I think they look trashy too. And very unsanitary. I don’t wear grey sensible shoes.

She's not saying your shoes are grey.
She's saying you don't cover the grey in your hair.

Folks, unless we are British or from a Commonwealth country, the spelling is gray.

I do builder gel in a neutral light pink once every 4 weeks. It doesn’t chip or crack. Incredibly low maintenance and I’m still very hard on my nails like using them to scrape off stuff or whatever and the builder gel has never failed me. $75 each application.

Nothing is a class marker (not wealth: class) like fake nails.

I never get my nails done because I think it's not great in terms of hygiene, and the cost and frequency is ridiculous, but you CAN have great nails (whatever that means to you) at home if you get the proper tools and good polish and get into a good routine.

Gel polish in a neutral color. It lasts 3-4 weeks, no tips needed

More people are letting go of plastic on their hands, wether acrylic, gel or polish.

Artificial nails, fake lashes and hair extensions aren’t a sign of wealth, even grocery store checkout workers have them.

Clearly you don't get out much. Gel X manicures are extremely popular and $$ right now. No, they don't all have to look fake or flashy either. Most of the women I know get them done every 2-3 weeks and have that perfectly effortless look to them.
