Do you pay attention to nails on TV shows?

[nailnewbie32]

Actually I'm not sure if this belongs here or chit chat, so a higher power please feel free to move and slap me on the wrist if neccessay


I just realised I do this. I try to figure out if it's gel/acrylic/tipped/sculpted/shellac/minx when I spot someone with nice nails on tv. It's mad! 10 months ago I would have thought 'nice nails' but nothing more, now I want to KNOW what kind of nails they have.


Someone else please tell me I'm not a total nut job!

Nope I do this too! Especially on 'the only way is Essex' all the girls have their nails done lol

 

[StephR]

I do it all the time too! Annoy my other half by saying oh look she's wearing shellac! Lol

 

[lucyboo]

Snap! I only watched BGT finals to work out which minx Amanda Holden was wearing!! I'm sure it was golden studs!!!

 

[chocolatepickle]

yep. I cant help myself!

 

[Emily S]

I do it too, it's a good way of keeping up with fashions and colours ...I'm just a nail addict - can't believe how many people wear chipped/scuffed polish, yak!

 

[Planky1]

Lol, I didn't see this and just posted a similar topic about not being able to stop looking at hands and feet wherever I go!!!! you're not alone :wink2:

 

[Elffie]

Cool !! Im not strange. !!

I am training at the moment but am always checking out peoples nails, and looking at colours and ideas to do lol.

Im off to do the weekly shop in a mo, going to be looking for some varnish too so I can do my first attempt at marbling, messy fun this afternoon lol

I do this too but I find myself also looking at hands and feet of people just on the street or in shops - they probably think I am weird! I was on holiday in Strasbourg last weekend and the waitress in the restaurant we went to had badly chipped red polish and I couldn't stop looking at them!! I really wanted to suggest Shellac or mani-q to her but thought I would come across rude :o

All the time! On TV, in films, out and about. People must think I'm weird because I talk to them but look at their nails.

 

[nailnewbie32]

Oh I am sooooo happy to see I'm normal!

Oh I also find myself staring at peoples hands when I'm out and about. Also their face to see what skin type they have

It's hard though when they have chipped polish or neglected nails, you just want to fix them!

 

[EMMA AT ELITE]

I am guilty of this too.

I think because nails, beauty etc is what we do, we cant help but zoom into this.

I am also really bad at checking out peoples eyebrows too!

 

[NailsByStacy]

I especially do this when out looking down at people's feet thinking would it be rude to hand them a business card so I can sort out their chipped polish/rough skin/overgrown cuticles!

 

[nailnewbie32]

I've seen some poor feet in flip flops that could do with some TLC over the past few weeks.

 

[Jac4Harry]

Yes!! I do this too. I also tend to stare at people when I'm out and wonder if they have gel/l&P/shellac on. Makes me feel creepy, but hey, I just love what I do LOL

I know, right? Trust me though, walking up and handing them your business card may seem like a great idea but you'd be amazed how indignant some people can be. I'm just trying to make the world a prettier place, people! One crusty foot at a time!

This makes me feel really sad, I've just recently started out and am seeing this all over the place.

I know we are in difficult times and not all people can afford to be going to the salon every 2 weeks but it's not hard to buy a hoop stick, a nail file and a bottle of polish...

 

[NailsByShakira]

I do this also.

This morning on This Morning lol.. Amy Childs from The Only Way Is Essex was showing some fashion looks and I was looking at the models nails when they zoomed in. Two of them had Minx on, Gold & Sliver Lightning on both their fingers and toes. :o
