When it comes to getting noticed, you may think that one's clothing, hair, makeup, or tattoos may garner the most stares, but in my experience, it's being a woman with long nails that gets me the most questions. Like tattoo misconceptions, people who have long nails are also subject to judgement, ridicule or even just the sheer inability to go to the checkout counter without getting asked a million questions.
As someone who works with my hands as a metalsmith and jewelry designer, I always admired women who wore long nails but wasn't sure how it would work for me specifically. On one fateful trip to New York, my friend convinced me to get acrylic nails for the first time. I got poorly applied Louis Vuitton print tips that I ended up having to get repaired as soon as I got home, but I was hooked to the look.
Over time, the length of my nails has increased. My nails have gone from almond shape to stiletto to coffin and back to stiletto. They have been covered in spikes, rhinestones, dangling charms, and intricate hand-painted designs; but no matter the length, shape, or design, I find that people seem to have a lot of questions about my talons.
My nails are a form of artistic and creative self expression and while I am happy to be complimented on them every time I go through a drive-thru, there are a few things I could do without hearing.
This question definitely irks me. Like any body modification, having long nails is something that you have to get used to. It took me a few weeks to adjust but now when I don't have them (which is rare), I have a hard time doing simple tasks like texting without my long nails.
As previously mentioned, I am a jewelry designer and metalsmith and clearly, I am also a writer. All of those occupations require me to use my hands a lot so implying that I can't perform my job on my own is insulting whether or not that was the intention. I am not out here transcribing my articles for someone else to type and I am not out here barking orders to someone else to make my jewelry. In fact, here's a video of me hand-sawing a piece of jewelry for proof.
Nail techs work hard to learn to do each and every nail shape flawlessly, so to assume there's only one nail shape because it's the one you hear most often discounts their craft.
I have no problem giving credit to my nail artist (shoutout to Autumn !) but sometimes, when I am carrying six grocery bags or crossing the street, it's not a simple explanation for me to direct you her way. I dread going to the checkout counter when I am in a hurry for this reason.
I am good with my hands but nail artists perfect their craft for years to be as good as they are. Like any art form, it takes practice and patience. Most people you see with intricate hand-painted nail art and long shapely nails are not at home filing away on themselves.
And I might if I hear this one more time.
Do you ask someone how much their tattoos cost? Or how much they paid for their clothes? I don't feel the need to tell a stranger how much I spend on my nails.
How do you know you couldn't do something you've never tried before? The world is your oyster. Give long nails a chance!
Save the backhanded compliments and kiss my ass, instead.

Those of a sensitive disposition are advised to look away now - this footage is quite possibly the grossest thing you are likely to see all week.
A video of a woman stroking the floor with extremely long toenails has emerged online and has taken the internet by storm.
The clip, which was captured in an unknown location, has amassed just shy of a million views since appearing online two weeks ago.
Distrubing: The 44-second-long video provides an extreme close-up of the foot sporting the long toenails
And many viewers disturbed by the gross content have left a number of comments.
The 44-second-long video provides a close-up of the foot sporting the long nails and shows the woman scratching the ground with them to create a spine-chilling sound.
This continues for a total of 28 seconds - the woman runs her foot from left to right along the floor before tapping her nails against the hard surface.
Later in the video the extremely long toenails are captured from another angle as the woman once again taps the ground with them.
The lady scratches the floor with her toenails to make a chilling sound before tapping them off the hard surface
In clearer light this time, the nails are visible as being curved at the tips, which is undoubtedly a result of their staggering length.
Commenting on the video, one viewer wrote: 'Omg that is disgusting, why would anyone want to have toenails like that?'
While another, who was equally disturbed, wrote: 'I can't watch this! Haha, way over due a pedicure.'
A third viewer joked: 'Can't believe they took a video of my toenails.'
Another angle shows that the nails are curved at the tips, which is no doubt a result of their staggering length
