Title. I love my nails and just got them done yesterday. I was really surprised that a friend of mine whose opinion I value said they were "ghetto" and trashy. Are my nails bad??

  1. I have never once had a friend criticize my personal expression even if it’s not to their taste. Your friend sucks.

    They look a bit bumpy and thick layered. Also the shape is not the same on each nail, some look coffin, others look squoval shaped. If you’re looking for something classic, you could go for a nice almond shaped nail with a thin French. The longer the nails & the thicker the French, the more “trashy” they can be looked at. Not my opinion, but a general one 🙂

  3. How is French ghetto and trashy?

    Your friend is ghetto and trashy. Normal but picky critique would be your index and middle finger are rounder than the other fingers and they did a more modern French than classic but that’s just me being again, picky.

  4. They are so fabulous. Some people think french tips look dated but I know most of on here LOVE LOVE LOVE a good french tip. This IS a good french tip!

    Your friend is rude. These nails aren’t ghetto or trashy. A French tip is usually seen as classic. They’re very cute on you!

    That said, the quality is questionable. I think your pinkie and ring finger should be more tapered, to match the other three fingers. I also think they should have been buffed more so the top coat lays smoother.

  6. “Good quality” and “trashy” don’t describe the same things.

    Your nails look well done (good quality) and the design is clean and classy (not trashy).

    Bad friend. Then again I got a really cute butter yellow French over the summer and my sister said “ew it looks like turmeric or curry nails” and I was like what are you on. Bad sister lol.

    are her nails done? maybe she just a hater fr these are cute classy and one of the most common nail styles for someone wanting something basic and cute. literally the opposite of ghetto or trashy drop her she sounds weird

  8. Ew, that’s trashy of your friend to say that. I think the nails are super cute and the nude base compliments your skin tone really well! The execution of could’ve been better though.
    You should call your nail salon asap and request a different nail tech to fix them if the original nail tech can’t perform the job.

    Here’s what I noticed:
    – extension attachment mark and uneven apex
    – inconsistent shape and length on all the fingers
    – inconsistent design too
    – the French tip looks the cleanest on the ring finger but it’s not a true coffin shape; it’s closer to a tapered square
    – looks like there’s a bit of flooding on the pinky

  9. who cares what others think they’re your nails & you say you love them. that’s all that matters!

  10. Noo I think they’re well done! 

    Maybe your friend just doesn’t like this specific design/nail shape in general and that’s why she told you that??

    She’s not your friend. Your nails are nice but they could be better, that’s not on you or the style, it’s the tech. See someone else next time

    They are not my personal style but they look great on you and I would never tell a friend their nails looked trashy unless that’s what they were clearly going for lol

    I’m ridiculously critical of nails and these look great. Not perfect, definitely not trashy. You have a trashy friend tho

  14. StillDouble2427 on

    The only thing that is trashy is your friend. Did they care to elaborate as to why they thought they were trashy?

  15. SadlyConfusicated on

    NOT trash. Frenchies are part of the epitome of classy and elegance. The look great on you as does the Shape! I think your friend knows nothing about nails, designs and manicures.
