Bare buffed nails or occasionally nude or a ballet slipper pink. Nothing bright, ever.

Same. My toenails finally look healthy. Not going to mess with that!

Always a clear coat on my fingernails. Colors are tacky.

Yes OP. You are the only one. You are less vain than and morally superior to the rest of the population. Congratulations.

You haven't had the pleasure of meeting me yet then.

Obviously PP was joking? Most people have bare nails.

54. Watch those women wasting all that time with gel manicures and destroying nail bed when I get my pedicure. No way. I always kept short, bare fingernails. Grossed out by long nails— unhygienic.

The attitude of superiority makes me laugh. You really think it's terrible and unhealthy to have get polish but healthy and somehow better to have polished toenails?

Odd

Totally bare nails. Not even polish. I can't imagine spending that kind of money and time on nails.

I developed a terrible acrylic allergy during covid and can not put anything on my nails anymore, not even regular polish. It sucks.

Bare nails. I like to work in the garden.

Where are you that acrylics are more popular than bare nails?!

For sure what is most popular where I am are short, manicured, subtle or sheer polished nails.

I wouldn’t even notice bare nails unless they were long, scraggly, or unkempt. I do notice acrylics (not my style but I think they look cool) but I don’t see them on most women around me.

I have always had bare nails. I hate long nails, and as a gardener, nice nails are wasted on me anyway.

Last week I watched the movie Emma, the latest one with Anya Taylor Joy. I loved seeing the beautiful hands and more natural makeup. It made me think that a natural manicure is so refreshing and beautiful. I have tried acrylics and gel but they always seem to damage my nails. Now I feel more confident in my decision to have bare nails or just base coat

I usually do a regular sheer light pink on my fingernails but sometimes do dip nails or wear them bare. I see so many people who don’t wear polish, I’m surprised it’s rare for you to see.

Yes, I have bare nails that I paint occasionally.
