French Pedicures

[Laura Palmer]

No

[justjen]

i don't even like french *manicures*. The pedicures are just creepy.

[rubytue]

No way! I can't stand seeing white tips on toenails. I'm kind of obsessive about it, and will clip (or rip) my toenails as soon as the white shows up. Fingernails - sure. Those can be long. But toenails need to be short. And a french pedicure makes them look long. Yuck!

[Nonny]

They are tacky and gross. My BFF was bragging about giving herself one once and it was all I could do to not send a little barfing smilie emoticon to her.

[agnes]

Eww.

In high school one of my friendly acquaintances had a french pedicure like the picture. I never said anything about it because she was a nice girl....but man did it gross me out.

[Kore]

It reminds me of the flippers that girls wear on toddlers & tiaras. So fake & wrong.

[steph96]

So gross. I don't care if the toenail is as short as they can get. Still gross.

They were ok for a hot minute when Lucy Lui had them in Charlie's Angels. But that ship sailed a long time ago.

No. Never, ever, ever, ever. I'd rather have a rhinestone pedi before a french pedi and I'd never get a rhinestone pedi.

[dcannie]

no. never.

[Deleted]

No. Not okay.

[Nonny]

OK, who are the people voting yes? Explain yourselves!

[milkrations]

I don't get the point. My toenails are super tiny (and would never grow out to the lengths of that freakish picture above) that the white part would be gone in about two days. Regular polish only lasts about a week on my toenails.

[HitchedIn2006]

I thought they looked simple and classy (not the one pictured above). I had one once years ago, but will never do that again... a regular polish pedicure lasted longer.

[carfar]

Idk I've never had one but IDK if " gross" is the right word for my feelings....

I normally get them but my nails are naturally very white and it helps me extend out my polish b/c you can't tell when they have minor chips without looking really close. Polish doesn't stick to my nails very well and if it can last at least a week I'm happy!

But never, ever, ever like that scary shit posted above. More like this...

How do they wear shoes? That's just ugly.

[CloudBee]

I have had French man/ped a few times. I also keep my nails super short, so I don't think it was ever gag-worthy.

If the toe nails are short then I don't think it looks bad.

[BNL2]

I prefer bright polish on my toes, but I don't find french pedicures gross. Just not my style.

this.

I don't think they are gross, but I do think they are dated and kid of weird looking. I got one once or twice years ago. It is not something I would do now.

[Doggy Mommy]

I used to get them about 8 years ago (my nails were short). I wouldn't get one now, but I don't think they're gross unless the toenails are long.

I like them. This is how my toes look.

Ditto. Apparently that is my UO on this board. Who knew?

I don't feel particularly strongly one way or the other, but I let my mom talk me into getting them for my wedding.

I don't care for them unless they look like the first pic. I like color's on nail/toes.

On the other hand my girls who are 14 and 11 think they are best!! Yeah, I don't want to have nail's done like my kids.

LOLOL!!
Are those TIPS in that other crazy picture??
I do french pedi on my toes as well...but the short kind. Unless I go with DD and then I normally end up with some crazy shade of pink that she picked so we would match. She's 4 and I indulge her that.

Ugh. and all I want to do is TRIM THAT WHITE PART OFF.

ick

Wow I had no idea there was so much hate towards French pedicures.

I haven't chosen one in a few years but they used to be my standard. I have always had short toenails and agree that the pic with the long nails is nasty.
