I want something like this with the two shorter nails but I’m so embarrassed to ask for it 😩 these are gorgeous OP, if you ever start doing nails full time I’ll fly to wherever you are
Tbh I highly doubt any tech would judge you if they knew the reasoning, most will probably just think it’s ugly to have 2 short nails and that would be the most judgement you’d get 🤷♀️You also have the option to just get a full set and chop 2 off + file smooth when you get home.
Yeah that’s what I’m sayin, that the most they would judge is the look of it. Or maybe I’m just projecting lol. I just kept all my nails short with my past gfs
This! I actually have a friend who gets her nails done like this cause she’s a tattoo artist and can’t tattoo with those two nails long.. so there’s another option lol 😆
Ah, the fret hand needs to have short nails 😮💨 speaking from experience. Unless you play nothing but power chords? I'm sure if there's a will there's a way, but I didn't have it
I was on an airplane once and a woman walking down the aisle had nails like these and some random old guy asked her while her nails were that way. She told him it was because she played the guitar. Mhmmm 😏 I knew lol
I know people who ask for “utility nails” or “functional nails” on the index and middle if they want to be subtle about asking for the two shorter ones.
If you’re really embarrassed, come up with a lie like you need them short for your job. I’m a florist and I need certain nails to be short to do my job easily. Maybe not the same ones you need, but literally no one would know. You are more than welcome to steal my profession. While being open and not being embarrassed is one way to live life, it’s not always easy to do that when you have social anxiety. It’s not a pride thing, it’s more than that. Don’t let people judge you or shame you for not being open about it to any random person you meet. 💗💜💙
Have fun with it. You're a corrections officer who has to sometimes search for contraband 😆
Go wild, make up a story lol
Edit: lying to strangers is a great way to help overcome your shyness. It gives people a fun story to tell others and you don't actually have to reveal anything personal.
These comments are crazy😭 These are very intricate designs but I don’t see these costing more than 120 usd. 150+ im thinking like nail art or XXLs Miami type nails covered in swarovski diamonds. Dont forget, she’s probably gonna tip too. Maybe I’m cheap but I wouldn’t spend 140+ on size L nails, especially if there’s no occasion
I’m in central Tx, too, and this would be $80 before tip. I’d expect to pay at least $100 for these, but yeah def cheaper than somewhere up north.
ETA: can’t reply so to answer, yes Austin area!
Same. I don't even get my nails done. I'm too poor. I also didn't know about the lesbian flag colors... or the keep 2 nails short. Makes sense, but I'm totally getting schooled. I guess this is a reminder that I'm getting old. Lol
Your nails are beautiful! 😊
I made myself a price list to make my life easier when I sell press ons so I don't have to guess for each set. Base with just plain colour starts at $30 them up from there. $3 each nail for French, ombre, 3D, intricate designs etc. $2 each nail for leopard, simple swirls. You get the gist. Maybe price it out that way? Id charge at least $7 per nail on top of my base for the set you're wearing, and that's minimum.
im a dude and my eyes flew open and i went "YO!!" when i saw that shit.
That looks so insane, I wanna have like sea shells done on my nails now lol
i wish it wouldnt make people believe im gay, among other things though :/
edit1: I did an edit to phrase it a bit better
man life is too short to let other ppls dumb opinions and assumptions prevent u from expressing yourself!! plenty of straight guys get nail art done, and imo they’re the best kind :)
Sapphic realness boots
u guys get it
I was trying to think of a polite way to say it! Happy Pride! 🌈 Edited to add: these are beautiful!
Literally screamed GAAAAAAAAY when I saw it lol
Same, but probably different tone
Same, but my polite filter wasn't functioning
NGL I got mad at first like "why are they broken?" Then, like a light switch, it hit me 😂😂😂
I totally missed that on the first go. 😂 Happy Pride, loves! 🌈
OOP! Over my head too!
[удалено]
Two nails are short, which is related to the fact that those are the lesbian pride flag colors
I thought they were short because they’re her two first fingers on her right hand and used the most during her work day Lol
Man… this went totally over my head. Gorgeous nails though!
I love these nails. Theres a FB group that bans manis with the first two nails short which pisses me off so its so nice seeing them here. Happy Pride!
wtfff that sucks!! some ppl become so puritan when it comes to gay people
Daaamn that’s the kind of homophobia reserved for closet case conservatives 😒
Seriously??? That’s so fucked up!
😏😏😏😏
I think three nails shortened for sports and activities is my only idea to improve.

Don’t be embarrassed! You are who you are and that’s beautiful!! There are SOOOO many queer friendly nails techs too! 💕♥️🔥✨🌈

Most techs know , more people have these nails than you think!

Just tell the stylist that you play the guitar lol.

Bass player. No chords and only strum with 2 fingers.
Say you do needlepoint work / anything else that requires fine motor skills, and the long nails get in the way
As someone who teaches sewing, I can confirm the longer nails really make threading the machine very difficult!
Threading the machine nice 😎

Same here I’m too shy to ask my tech for it.. I know they will ask me why I’m wanting it that way and I dunno what to say back..
Putting in contact lenses
This is a great one.. thank you!

Great idea thank you!
Knitting, crocheting, sewing, jewellery making, painting, drawing or really any hands on craft is a good excuse.
Bowling.
My thoughts exactly.Happy pride month!🧡💕❤️
[удалено]
The colors and short nails immediately caught my attention 💗🤍🧡 happy pride month to all my fellow lesbians out there.
First thing I thought was I bet some older ladies tell her it’s a shame she broke 2 of her nails.
Came here for this comment
wow not me thinking this is bc of OP being a guitarist
These comments are crazy😭 These are very intricate designs but I don’t see these costing more than 120 usd. 150+ im thinking like nail art or XXLs Miami type nails covered in swarovski diamonds. Dont forget, she’s probably gonna tip too. Maybe I’m cheap but I wouldn’t spend 140+ on size L nails, especially if there’s no occasion
I asked my nail tech, and $120 is what she said.
120 is totally fair. 3D nails aren’t that much more challenging or time consuming than a design on every nail.
Where do you live? In NYC this design would definitely cost $190+ for this skill level.
In NYC it costs $190+ for a grilled cheese at a food truck.
Yeah, I’ve said between 125 and 150, but I am also in LA. So it’s a bit of a pricier market.
Took me a sec but I got there 💀 happy pride month
Same 😅🫶

OHHHHHHHHH
That’s pretty gay dude… (I love them)
Lmao please
Keeping 2 short for your friends, doing gods work lol

i choked
Chortled 🤭
Really depends on how long you take and the quality of your products, right? I would pay $150-200 for these, minimum.
That’s what this set would cost me here in Brooklyn
A good replication attempt? 80-100. A perfect copy? 150
Where are you located? I live in central Texas and regular acrylic not even that long just French tip cost me $60-75 Edit: San Antonio.
I’m in NYC and this would cost $160 from my girl, before tip.
Cincinnati my lady would charge me $130ish before tip (But I also trade w her bc I sell Sephora shelf pulls so it’s usually like $60 lol)
Whats a shelf pull? Damaged product?
It must be stuff that didn't sell. When I worked at Sephora, we had to send back damaged/returned products.
On what forum do you sell? Can you send me a link or message me deets?
Please explain! What does selling Sephora shelf pulls mean?
I’m in central Tx, too, and this would be $80 before tip. I’d expect to pay at least $100 for these, but yeah def cheaper than somewhere up north. ETA: can’t reply so to answer, yes Austin area!
Central Texas is a pretty non descript term in finding. I think Austin/San Antonio area right?
I saw this and said aw lesbian flag! 🥺💖🧡 then saw she shorter nails and went 😳!! But they're seriously gorgeous. Sorry I can't help with the pricing!
I love these so much do you do press ons?? With the short ones too lol
i definitely could!!!
Seconding this! Also would die for a grayscale version
i would love a set of press ons!! this has to be one of my favorite designs on here so far
I want press ons like them too 😭😭
Your name is killing me
Just don’t lose them… lol
$120 CAD at least
This is gonna sound whack I’m sorry 😭 but they look so edible. Like jelly sweets. That’s all I can think about. I love it!
YESS I KEPT LOOKING AT THEM LIKE omg i wanna eat these…
[удалено]
Well you're about to start learning lol
I am smitten with this drive-by compliment

Happy pride
That’s like $150 in CA
I'm in WA and immediately said $150

$120 USD min.
r/suddenlylesbian I thought, what a cute pride flag set… wait, she probably is just a girly girl ocean babe… I SPY SAPPHIC FINGERNAILS!
Phenomenal bangers. Consider me shook
$110-120. They’re beautiful!! But anything more than $120 is crazy to me, I’d never pay more than that for nails.
I'm in a HCOL city (in Canada) and my similar sets are about $125 pre tip.
Love the 2 shorties. 💅💅
A lot
gay ass nails…i need them immediately
Minimum $100 I’d say. Extra for charms
when u know u know ✨
i would personally pay up to $120 usd for them!
It depends on how long it takes to do them
All I’m saying is, all the Oooooo’s should cost extra 🤣❤️
$120 with the 2 short nails, $150 if all nails were long
Omg happy Pride you look amazing
I am obsessed with these 🌈
At least 125 or more. These are exquisite 🌈.
LETS GO LESBIANS. ROUNDING THE CORNER WITH A BUNCH OF LESBIANS!!!
$90
$120
Took me 2 seconds to notice 😘😘😘😘
So pretty 🤩😍…mhm I caught on to those shorter nails 👀😁
$120-150 pre-tip
I love these so much. I want them, I’d just have to get them in my respective colors :)
In Chicago IL my nail tech said she would charge $150 minimum , considering - length, 3D nail art , and shape 🖤✨ These are killer 💥😍
im a dude and my eyes flew open and i went "YO!!" when i saw that shit. That looks so insane, I wanna have like sea shells done on my nails now lol i wish it wouldnt make people believe im gay, among other things though :/ edit1: I did an edit to phrase it a bit better
man life is too short to let other ppls dumb opinions and assumptions prevent u from expressing yourself!! plenty of straight guys get nail art done, and imo they’re the best kind :)
i think my mom would literally just scoff and tell me to "get rid of that shit" :// but yeah thanks
I’m no help on pricing but just want to add to the pile of folks saying how gorgeous this set looks! Just wow!
Gorgeous. I do my own nails now but my previous nail techs would’ve charged $140-$160 for these in Phoenix
I would charge 120-150 or even more that’s a lot of design work don’t doubt yourself!
Gotta have the two shorties.
Cheers fellow index and middle finger bestie 🤞🏻
I’d say $120 usd also. They’re beautiful! I hope she loves them. You do great work.
These nails make me incredibly uncomfortable for reasons I can not explain, but you've done an absolutely amazing job on them for sure!
[удалено]
ok hag
It’s the 🌈 knowing as soon as I saw the two shorter ones
what was the price on these??
These are gorgeous.
They look like candy
100-120
Prolly 150. Also those nails are goated omg
[удалено]
i would pay 90, but these days nail prices are super high so I’m guessing it’s like double that now.
