When Manicures Go Wrong: Hood Nail Designs You Shouldn’t Try

Girl, stop!

3D Nails to the Max

Can anyone even read what the hell this says? Maybe it says Class of ’09, but chances are, I’m reaching. Don’t get me wrong, 3D nails can be very cute when you go for simple designs popping out. But when you do the absolute most like homegirl down below, it just looks like a clumply mess that even 3D glasses couldn’t make sense of. Seriously, how can you take a shower with those things!?

Endorsements Part III

I think we covered this in our past tattoo and hair story, but endorsing products and not getting a profit for them is an absolute fail. It’s okay to like M&Ms, but why are you sending them a shoutout on your fingernails? I love Jolly Ranchers as much as the next person, but this (above) is just wrong.

More product placement gone wrong…

Beads & “Thangs”

These beads that spell out things…I just have no words for them. Oh wait, I do! I need for people to keep things a bit more simple. The lady above was doing, somewhat okay, until I noticed the over-done 3D wrapping around her fingers, the Donald Duck picture on her nail, AND the dedication of her nail work to him in the form of those white beads going down her middle finger!

The beaded hand below is so overboard that I’d hate to see the embarrassment on that woman’s face when those beads start falling off in public. Don’t scratch your head, girl!

As Someone So Aptly Put It: “Ghet-toes”

It’s okay to not have long toe nails ladies! I personally don’t even think it’s sanitary to have toe nails that could cut up your sheets and and stab tiny holes into your good shoes. But someone sent out a memo saying that it’s somehow cute to put fake nails for your fingers, on your freaking toes.

I guess if you’re going to wear sandals until your next appointment you should be good, but you sure won’t look good….

Tame Nails That Are Just TOO Long

As with anything on your body, if you have too much of it, there’s a chance that it might come off looking terrible.

Long nails on a woman are something to be stoked about, especially when they’re real. And these days, the longer the fake nail and the more angular the tip, the trendier.

But there’s a difference between sporting longer nails and walking around with fingernails, real or fake, that look like double dutch ropes swinging from your hands. It’s okay to pull out a clipper or say “shorter” to the nail tech…

Just Plain Crazy Ideas

As if beads, 3D butterflies and cartoon characters weren’t enough, some people just take things to the hottest of messy levels. For example, check out the lady above with these claw-meets-Little Mermaid-under-the-sea designed nails. She’s got shells on her arms, seahorses popping out her fingers and jellyfish! I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say this was for some sort of Halloween costume or something, but if it was for anything else?

#Fail.
