I totally agree with this.  In the NW we have both extremes - Women who get HUGE fake nails and French Manicures (sometimes even with rhinestones ) and then the women who have never painted their nails a day in their lives.  I personally do not care for French manicures and prefer a natural pink for the whole nail.

Oh god no - I don't offend that easily!  Don't worry about it.  I just wanted to make a point that not all people's fake nails w/french manicures look ugly and fake.  That's all. Mine look very natural and I have artificial nails


And I agree - there are tons of ugly fake nails!

wait... it sounds like if we were all looking at examples, we'd agree almost entirely, except for about on toes.

Jen - Mine look almost exactly like yours, maybe a little shorter.  And I get tons of compliments on mine and working in a professional business, I feel my nails need to look as nice as possible and I think my french manicure does just that!  But I have seen some "porno" like french manicures that I thought were gross too.  It just depends on the person and the length, IMO.

I agree - mine look very similar to yours too Jen.  And I think they look great.  I too work in a professional business, so I agree that it's important to have nice looking nails.
