WTF
That looks like glittered fritos on that pinky.

My nails feel like they are suffocating the few times I have had fake nails, I just can't do it!

My sister showed me the millions of pictures of fungus ravaged nails. So I kind of stopped. I used to do the fake stuff for a while. But would take them off every three months so the nail bed could grow back in and heal. The crazy designs scream out "I don't need a professional job" to me. But during basketball season I used to get Carolina Blue tips for fun. So I could not be so uptight anway.

But, putting on acrylics stops me from biting and tearing at my cuticles. They look nicer just because of that.

here are some of my kooky colors...

current color

last color

I was just saying the other day how I was unhappy with the thinness and strength of my nails...for realz.

Are straight guys allowed to get manicures? What's the protocol on that?

Manicure (clean up/tidy up) yes. If you get acrylics to "strengthen" your nails I ain't inviting your ass to dinner.

I swear it, I really like you (I say this with complete honesty), but you were put on this earth (or at least on this site) to make my gay heart wither.

WTF is goin on around your cuticles and fingertips??? There's just not enough nail there that you gotta let it spill over to the finger?

I'll just drink more milk or something.

But the manicure might actually happen...

Manicures are cool. I promise myself every summer I will go for pedicures (which are very relaxing) since I wear sandals in summer. Rarely happens.

OK you can still come to dinner. (soon btw )

Get nail and hair pills.

I don't have ocd. I have eyeballs.

I 100% hate long, long fake nails. It's just plain cheap looking...especially when they are painted crazy colours and have patterns. Tacky, tacky, tacky.

A somewhat shorter acrylic more natural look is ok but nothing beats natural, clean, strong healthy nails.

This is the perfect length. It's natural, modern and for lack of a better word, classy.

These ones are totally

And what do you propose I do once I have retrieved them from the vitamin section? Put them in my pocket? Gotta show the cashier that shit eventually. And laughter will ensue.

Pick up a pack of tampons and roll your eyes at the register and they'll just think you're shopping for the missus.

They don't call me Brilliant John for nothin.

But if they did, it would be justified.

Just sayin.

Hey Hey Hey what is wrong with sitting to pee?

If I tried to pee standing when Lola gets me up at 3 and 4 am to let her out and I'm half asleep I'd wake up every morning wondering WTF snuck in and pissed all over our bathroom floor.

I used to have immaculate nails, but since having kids I tend to not bother so much with them, although I make other people's nails look pretty.

There are always men in the shop where I go. Most of them have regular Mani and Pedi appointments.

I personally find it great when a man takes care of grooming.

But I agree with John- don't get all "fancy".
