Very bad. May lead to ingrown toenails. They should be trimmed so that they are right at the edge of your toe.

I like french pedie's. They should not be longer then the toe though. They may appear that way because of the way they are white tipped. I think they make your feet look really clean. But of course they should only be on well kept feet.

I would agree that they're gross. I take great pride in my feet and my toenails are always trimmed to perfection...I can't understand how one can even let them get remotely long *shudder*

I was shocked the first time I saw it. Mostly I see it on Asian or AFA women.

Before I first moved here, it had previously been that "everyone" knew that fake fingernails were trashy/tacky, and no one had them. It just wasn't a thing, or rather it was a thing poor white trash would like.
Yet, I move here, and they're common.

And, I've never had an ingrown toenail, and if I had i still wouldn't keep my toenails that long, because it looks disgusting.

Fanny packs.

Wearing jeans and a dress at the same time.

The latest fashion fad of cuffing jeans to capri length. That. Is. The. Worst.

Capri pants on anyone under 5' 9" and/or overweight. If one is already short and dumpy, cropped pants only increases the image of shortness and dumpiness.

Wearing flip-flops everywhere. If you're not at the pool, the beach, or in a public shower, you shouldn't be wearing them.

Chest hair on a woman. Yes, I have seen it.

I don't like the white-tips on toenails. It looks fake as hell...way too white!

You might change your mind if you ever get one, I hear they are really painful. I always think that too short of a toenail (specially the big toe) makes the toe look so fat and round, with all that skin showing around the top. The nail tends to grow wider, rather then its natual route of longer, which then is actually widening the toe.

I don't like long toes, so I don't think that looks bad.

I agree, long toes freak me out. My feet are actually a part of myself I don't dislike

Perhaps I'll put a picture of them up here

Seriously though, until this thread I'd never even heard of people doing French Manicures on their toes...plain polish...sure..but French Manicure? Never seen it...but the image of it in my head is quite silly.

I don't think a french pedie looks bad. I think this looks nice. There's just something so clean looking about it

Whatev.

Hey! You're right...that doesn't look bad at all....that's not at all what I was picturing though

The first toenail looks okay, the rest are too long. Those also look strangely like my toes.

Except, of course, with different nails. I don't have a gripe with the french tip part, I have a problem with nails being too long to accomodate the french tip. French tips are pretty, long toenails are not. For instance, I would get a fake french one, where my toenails were really short, but with a white strip at the top. In theory.

P.S. I've never seen it look that good on an actual person.
