I have no hair talent, but I love doing my own nails.<\/p>\n<p>And I usually go with whatever the style of the time is. I had very long, yet attractive, nails when they were in, I&#8217;m into short ones now, and I often paint the ring finger thing a different color than the rest. I make individual Easter e-words on that holiday, and each nail becomes its own flag for Fourth of July. But I absolutely cannot get behind a fad that actually has danger built in!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13135\" style=\"width: 187px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/article-2169242-13CA0992000005DC-331_634x801-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13135\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13135\" alt=\"A celebrity's horrendous daggers.

Can you figure out whose hand that is?<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The trend of super-pointy nails has been ongoing for about a year now; I really thought it would end as soon as it began, but no such luck. I don&#8217;t personally care for <em>me<\/em>, but I feel really bad for guys. If I were a guy seeing those approach my jewels, I&#8217;d shrivel right up.<\/p>\n<p>And just how do you hold hands with those daggers at the end of them? Whenever I see someone on one of those dance shows with them, or an ice skating girl in a pair or dance team, I can&#8217;t even watch the action; my eyes are trained on where those knives at the end of the girls&#8217; hands are going, because I&#8217;m so worried that the guy is going to get cut.<\/p>\n<p>Not to sound like a mother, but I&#8217;m positive that someone&#8217;s going to poke her own eye out! We all stick our fingers in our eyes, by accident, at some point or another, but I guarantee if someone does that with one of those pointy nails, the results are not going to be pretty. (Kind of-like the nails themselves!)<\/p>\n<p>And do those women sleep with gloves on? Even with my short rounded nails, I wake up with the occasional scratch or two on my legs, arms, or face. If that happens in the middle of the night for a stiletto-nailed female, she could probably bleed out! They are seriously <em>that<\/em> dangerous. It&#8217;s like having ten mini-knives attached to the end of the hands. (And how do contact lens wearers take them out without constant injury?)<\/p>\n<p>The only good thing about them that I can see is that if, God forbid, any of those girls is physically attacked, she has an advantage in the getting-the-guy-off-her department. But I doubt that even one person who&#8217;s wearing them has thought of that.<\/p>\n<p>So to recap why I hate stiletto nails, they&#8217;re dangerous and ugly. And we basically know a few things right off the bat about the people who are wearing them, namely that the girls are stupid, thoughtless, self-centered, and followers, not leaders.<\/p>\n<p>If this little rant saves even one person from being injured by those talons, I did my part.
