i’ve been insecure of my thumbs my whole life and as a really hyperfem girl, i’ve always wanted to get my nails done with long extensions and such. recently i’ve started trying to do press ons and customising it to my weird thumbs, but this time i decided to place the press on slightly below my nail bed to give the illusion of a longer nail. it looks fine in the first two pics from a front facing angle, but i feel like overall they still look weird (like the last 2) 💔 i was thinking if i should cut the length of the thumb nail to make it less awkward looking or just leave it. which do yall think looks better? thanks!

Hey, so they look totally fine from every single angle!
Just try to remember that you’re the only person who will be seeing your thumb straight on and up like the first 2 photos. Insecurities suck, but we are our harshest critics.
I’m trying to be kind and silly when I say this ..if you’re insecure about the way it looks when you’re looking at it like this
🗣️👍 … Just don’t do it 🫢
I think the long nails actually make your thumb looks more “in proportion”, looks really good!
Looks pretty and very cute ❤️
I wouldn’t have known they were clubbed if you hadn’t told us. So I’d say they look great with the nails!
Definitely leave them long! Cutting just your thumb nails down will draw more attention to them, just leave them alone and try not to think about them. Nobody else stares at our nails as much as we ourselves do, so I doubt anyone will even notice when they’re all long.
Beautiful! 😊 I also think square would suit you too.
Not at all
I think it actually compliments them well 🙂
I don’t see anything that stands out – cute set
I have very clubbed thumbs on both hands and I was also very insecure about them. Took a long time for me to understand that literally no one is paying attention to them except myself; no one has ever noticed until I mentioned it. That said, I find longer extensions, be it stiletto or almond shaped nails between medium and long length (or longer depending on your preference) make my thumbs look best. Short lengths and square/coffin shapes seem to exaggerate the clubbed appearance, at least for me. I prefer long-xl lengths for myself, but that’s just me.

What you have pictured looks great on your hands! As long as you’re happy with them and they make you feel good, that’s all that matters 🙂
no! they look very good actually
Honestly wouldn’t have noticed your thumb if it hadn’t been pointed out. They look nice 🙂
I have shorter fingers due to small hands, and I think long nails just help make everything look great and “normal”
But always remember, as best we can, that we (and maybe our partners) are really the only ones who see our hands for more than glimpses and in movement. It’s easy for us to hyper focus on the parts we don’t like, but more than likely no one else is ever gonna notice unless they are / l o o k i n / and staring.
As long as you like it, that’s the most important part 🙂
how did you place them below your nail bed? did you glue the nail to your skin??
Nice
I think they look great but I personally keep my toe thumb nail shorter because I find it feels better for me. Do what you think works best for you!
Your thumbs look like totally normal thumbs! Lovely set 💖
Your thumbs are thumb shaped. Your nails look great.
No
