2. I find it ugly.
But mostly it'd be impractical. I live in the Pacific Northwest. One couldn't wear socks let alone shoes with nails like that.

3. The only thing I can see with that is...
In some asian countries, women and men would often wear their fingernails long to show that they were rich and powerful. If you were rich and powerful, you could afford slaves. If you could afford slaves, you didn't have to do work. If you didn't have to work, you could wear your fingernails long.

5. True, but this is more like bound feet
Sure it shows that you're a lazy wench who can afford to sit around all day, but you couldn't go for a walk if you wanted to with nails like that.

you have to get carried around and pampered, shows you don't have to do anything for yourself.

I'm kind of a fashionista (never catty to others, but I really love clothes.) This is definetly a faux pas... at least in the United States. Perhpas these are pics from another country and I'm totally trashing a custom. :blush:

Not that I think that would look good on someone who had pretty feet but it would have to look better. Nasty, gnarly feet with six inch talons are even grosser than just plain nasty, gnarly feet. :puke:

24. I Think That Photo #1 Has Acrylic Nails...
Except for the chipped nail polish, they are perfectly smooth on top. There are no ridges or growth-marks... they have a perfectly straight forward-curl (they don't curl or twist to the side).

Still, as much time and money as she obviously spends on them... it's pretty gross.

29. Think of all the people with physical disabilities
who would love to be able to walk normally. Yet these women willingly choose to handicap themselves in the name of vanity. The doubly sad part is that they look absolutely revolting. Who would find this attractive?

GACK, GACK, DOUBLE-GACK!!!

37. Can't speak for the ladies but....
I once grew my toenails out like that. It was kind of fun, up to point. But it does make things like walking difficult and uncomfortable. So I cut them, now.

51. Same Here... Clipped Very Short
My nails are as thin as a child's... very fragile. If they grow more than 1/16th of an inch beyond the pink area, they'll bend or crack or chip or snag and... worse.

I had to FORCE myself to look at those photos. Pretty CREEPY!!!

53. Ah... I can understand why you would, then.
Mine are not so much fragile... it's just that I grew up playing violin (until I was 12), and by then, I was acclimated to not having nails, really. And then I took up rock climbing, and you can't have finger OR toenails for that, really. If I can feel my fingernails touching the keys when I type, it bugs me!

I guess I just can't understand, why one would do that. I'll just have to add it to the list of things in this world I don't understand!

55. None of my business what other people do with their bodies, but
it's obvious, by the way their toenails are growing at odd angles, that these women's feet have been damaged by wearing poorly-fitted shoes for years. :(
