So I was looking up on the net if there is by any chance a name for the description of ‘fear of long fingernails’. Alas! No happy news.
Not that I want to shriek and pull my hair out when I spot long fingernails, no, not to that extreme… yet. It just makes the skin on my back crawl.
I have read in books where the characters, those lovely ladies, have their longish nails painted oh-so-beautifully in red. It might be beautiful, but in reality, too long nails are, simply put, disgusting and awkward.
To me, anything that is more than 0.3 cm (protruding, for the lack of better word now) is considered too long. Why the hell do you need such long fingernails for?!
I don’t get it.
To have a upperhand when it comes to cat fight?
Or to leave scratches on your darling’s back when you are hanky-pankying?
Elaborate nailart – those with jewels, sparkling thingies, dangling thingies and all the other little thingies, is another mystery. Nice to look on the display, kind of cumbersome in real life. Not forgetting to mention that the fingers usually look weird, I don’t know, but it seems to make your fingers look stubby.
If it leaves me at a loss at why females keeping long fingernails, it totally kicked me to the other of the world and buried me 6 feet underground at why males kept long fingernails.
Please, I don’t want to think about it.
But I do hope that one day, they make themselves bleed whilst cleaning out their nostrils and ears.
Why I brought up this fingernail topic? The guy who helped me stick the screen guard on to my hp had long nails… I mean, really long. Probably 2 cm on his middle finger (what? To point better with?).
Some guy I saw on the train had long nails on his ring and last fingers.
>_>
A nail clipper cost maybe 80 cents at those neighbour stores or night markets. $2.00 at diaso if you want those cutesy designs.
