For all us girls out there-NAILS-how often do you do them? how much do you pay? what color do you wear? do you do them yourself?
i recently did them myself for a friends wedding, and they were a sparkly light pink. they actually didn’t come out as pink as i imagined, but it was ok in the end.
i just did mine a light pink.. but had to take it off for school 😛 do u guys think its ok to wear nailpolish?
if the HS has a rule no nail polish, then the rule has to be followed. during HS, i got my nails done 1 or 2x a year, usually erev pesach after my nails were destroyed from cleaning and peeling. in Sem, didnt do my nails. in college didnt do my nails till january cuz A) the cold made them look purple and B) they got really cracked after helping out for my sis’s HS play. but i’m starting a rotation in school this semester that does not allow nail polish so i’m using a clear coat to prevent cracks in my nails.
is it OK to wear nail polish? depends on the situation, the color, etc. no clear cut answer
popa, usually by this time you’ve commented. Whats taking so long?
ya to be honest im getting rly confused nowadyas whats halacha and chumra, most bais yaakov schools make it seem like all there restrictions are halachos when reality its just a sensitivity thing
my opinion, its fine to wear it as long as its not some crazy or attention catching color. nice pinks, silvers…
I personally love french manicures. There is a chineese salon that I go to that does it for ten adn then u tip.
i always heard there’s a shayla about washing your hands (negel vaser, hamotzei) if there’s a crack in the nail polish. but if there’s no crack it’s ok. only problem is, many times, there can be a slight crack that u don’t notice.
otherwise, as far as tznius, like yummy said, if it’s not attention getting then what’s the problem?
gefen- I once heard that if the manicure is chipped but you would still wear it to a wedding then its ok
where’s bpt?
i don;t get my nails done cuz somehow my nails just never seem to grow long enough. well the reason 4 that is because i pick them!!! but my friend got a really nice manicure with just a flower on each of her ring fingers. it came out really nice and i would recommend it
I LOVE HASHEM!!
hey me too!
next time u go for a mani- try pale purples like lilacism and miss matched and demure vixen- u’ll become obsessed like me. i get one like once every other week and i’m reading what i just wrote and i feel so vain and gashmiyusish. but i think it’s impt to treat urself to a bit of gashmiyus once in a while as long as u dont go overboard colorwise- like neon orange or navy (which is awesome on a pedi) 🙂
” where’s bpt? “
I was busy yesterday, defending “frum married men” on another thread.
Which has since been shut down, so now I’m ready to pick the next battle.
But not when it comes to nail polish. The Mods have me on the watch list as it is, and making a comment on nail polish is sure to get me in hot water.
Am I the only female here who’s not into nailpolish?
at least you know they are reading your posts. and I know what gets you going. isnt it worth it though to try and see what they approve?
QB, you’re not the only one! i wore out of necessity to cover cracks, peels and purple nail beds. now since i can’t cuz of my rotation i’m just wearing hardener. personally, its such a pain to maintain perfect nails
The only time I’ve worn nailpolish was at a wedding when I was 12.
just tried high maintenance (essie). LOVE IT!!
QB, wow. I envy you for that. natural is the way to go
methinks- i heard the exact same thing
QB- me 2, i hardly ever polish my nails.. my mother used to think i was too young for a manicure and my elementary school didnt let anyway so i never really got then.. now its probably like once a summer i wear like light pink if one of my friends is in the mood to do mine.. but i’ve been thinking of getting clear to at least make them shiny 😉
