Gosh it has taken me all day to read this. First of all the title of this thread is insulting "Ugly duck nails." I think saying "I don't care for this shape" is one thing. But ugly, gardening tools and so forth IS insulting. I rarely go on Nail Geek. But not too impressed with the LOVE I feel on here. I am a BT fan all the way. Very, Very rarely does anyone have such the aweful attitude as this. I am a huge fan of Nanny. I have saved every picture that she has posted on BT, because her creativity is endless. She is creative, beautiful and has so much wisdom to share. She was in Nail magazine last month. I can't say that. How many of you can? Why can't you just look at her work and say something positive? Instead of UGLY, gardening tools, using for swimming! I wish more people would sit in my chair and said "Give me something different." I get tired of P&W's. I want someone to see my nails on the street and say that girl is creative! That is the best compliment to me. Clients can go to the NSS shops and get P&W's all day. But can they get the nail art that Nanny provides? NO WAY! I love you Nanny keep it up. You go Girl!:hug:

NSS ISNT ALWAYS A SHOP.. IT CAN BE A TECH.

oops.. sorry caps.. anyway..
make me laugh!!!
does Baaaa Baaaa ring a bell?? Forums have a variety of good and bad people.. and people who speak their mind.. people who can take it people who cannot.

I get my inspiration anywhere.. not only Geek and BT but anywhere and i certainly dont and wouldnt confine myself to one place and limit my involvement because of peoples attitudes.. if that was the case i wouldnt leave the house!

That said.. Geek is home and home page.. why? cause when you learn from someone/thing its good to support them/it.. and no place else real or cyber has taught me like geek.. and continued too..

right back on topic.. im going to take pics.. brb..

Actually quite a lot of geeks have had their work featured in nail magazines

Emmsy is right.. Many many of us here have been featured in nail magazines...

As a matter of fact... one of us here has so much knowledge and experience in the industry that she is in nail magazines every month not just showing her work... but as a advisor/mentor/guru who is able to guide and teach the rest of us...

So the answer to the questions is... yes... there are many of us here who are very well educated and more than qualified to share their opinions on nails..

well done chels for posting them pics.....but even though they are yours i still dont like the shape hun, however i think you have done a good job as they are balanced where you have extended the nail bed.
Well done you!!!!!!

totally agree mate.. shape is (in the light of day) not for me.. last night i was on the fence.. but i am officially not a fan (hehe geddit)
like emma i wanted to do one so i could officially say.. yay or nay.. also to show that they dont have to be thick and clumsy and you can still get a lovely line of light.. and also that extended nail beds flatter them just that little bit better..

i aint saying they are the bee's knee's.. they are my first attempt at the shape.. and probably my last unless they become popular here.
 
Ok.. I am so disappointed with how this topic is being handled:rolleyes:. Even the moderator is being very judgemental on this topic. (I may get the boot for this but so be it) I personally dont do the Flare Nails but I for one would not sit here and put down people that do, it is unproffesional and you are not encouraging your fellow nail techs. How very sad this is!!! One nail tech should encourgage another, this is an art and a career, where is the constructive critizism here?? I do not know why some on here feel it to be there responsiblility to be so rude and downright hurtfull. I am appalled to call the ones that do this a fellow nail tech.:rolleyes:
 
I am a nail tech and absolutely do not do flares! I have seen pics and I am not partial to them at all! Where in the states are they doing them? In the midwest they are keeping everything short and active.;)

Get over yourself.. i mean honestly.. it has been said over and over and over and over again that no tech is being put down.. a shape and style is.. by some not all!
Moderators too are allowed to have opinions.. why is this sad, it has opened discussion and even encouraged a few of us to try something new and decide for ourselves..
you are appalled about this.. children starving is appalling not a discussion on nails and there styles and whether we as nail techs like them!!!

ok the point has been made.. you come across from BT to make a point when on both sides things have been said that shouldnt have or perhaps could have been said differently.. but at the end of the day we are INDIVIDUALS with DIFFERENT tastes!

move on for christ sakes.. not one person has said a thing about nanny or any other tech personally in this forum (the same cant be said at BT).. but the shape and style of flare is NOT for everyone... when you post a picture of you work expect to be critiqued.. and if your lucky it will be honest critique..

You know what.. im sick of this.. the pics Nanny posted are too thick, unbalanced and in MY opinion not the best work i have ever seen.. but i love the artwork.. THERE I said it.. thats not a slight on her as a person.. its an honest opinion on pictures posted.. I come from a country that calls a spade a spade.. and is why in my 4 yrs as a tech my work has improved and i strive to beautify hands not shock people or comprimise myself to make money!

Judy started a thread to FIND OUT WHAT WE THINK! dont take it so personaly.:irked:
 
boy littlegrohl are you on a trip i dont even know who Nanny is you need to get over that little chip on your shoulder

ok so you dont know who nanny is.. (all the rage).. then what is all that about up there??
are you appalled because people are being judgemental on a shape??
i cant find where one nail tech is being vilified here.. who is being rude about who then.. i mean if you have no idea who im talking about.. who or what are you talking about???

these stupid games are peeving me right off.. two threads have been confused. and people who have said not one bad word about another tech are being treated as if they have.

If i have a chip on my shoulder then maybe because people post first and read second!

since when did having an opinion on someones work become a bad thing anyway?? isnt that what we do?

Good lord littlegrohl get over yourself. i said i was sorry for the comment days ago but you cant let it go... why?
 
Just for the record. I never said that only US nail techs are good. I have no doubt that people outside this country are good as well as great. Or that there are some wonderful techs on this forum. I think that in different places in the world things are said and taken differently. To someone in a different part of the world it may not have seemed ugly to say those things. But I just wasn't raised to say things like that. I replied to this thread to say don't say ugly things. I didn't say anything ugly about anyone on this forum. When I see something I don't like I just don't post. That's just me though. I know everyone has their own opinions and they feel they should say whatever is on their mind. You take that risk on this forum I guess. I would never post a picture on this forum because I respect very good nail techs and if someone said something negative I would die. Don't kick me when I'm down. Pick me up!!!!! C YA!
 
I'm just waiting in suspense now for the first person to come along, who obviously hasnt read the content of the thread and tells me
" i need to file my sidewalls in a little "
lmao :green:


LOL oh Emmsybabes, you've done it now....... I never saw myself as someone wearing the flared shape........but I like the look of your P&W with the nail bed extended..... I might have to try it now!! :)

i was making a point.. and i made it.. :green:

and what exactly was your point? again I am sorry if i offended you or anyone else for that matter. I alreadt said i was sorry. why keep throwing up what i said? You took what i said from BT and brought it here. why?

because through all this international he said she said B#llsh!t, she still has a sense of humour, albeit warped.

That and the fact im a Gobby Cow.. pretty much sums me up!!

Seriously though.. As a nail Tech i love looking at nail sites and other peoples work.. but when you come across comments like this...

and i quote...Salongeek only WISHES theyhad someone as hot as BT's Nanny! They should someday hope they can aspire to the artistic heights our "Empress of Cool" scales every day without breaking a sweat! These nails are the sizzle, the steak, the whole d*mn thang, Gurl! You keep on rockin' the shapes and we'll keep on beggin' for more!

well i cant help but be offended and i for one would never ever say anything like that and other things written on BT here and i cant see our mods allowing us to get away with it..

THAT is my point!:green:
 
Okay since this thread is now waaaay off topic and starting to get personal I think it is time to say cerrado!

We are all entitled to an opinion about a style, that is not offensive, that is called personal taste.

Chill people. :hug:
