I have always associated fanciful painted nails with crass conspicuous consumption, a nonverbal proclamation of “Look, I don’t have to do manual labor.”

“I have always associated fanciful painted nails with crass conspicuous consumption”

I’ve associated fancy painted nails with trashy bimbos.

And talk about conspicuous consumption ... tattoos and complicated ‘dos. It seems there’s a direct correlation between how many food stamps are used at checkout and how many expensive procedures the user has spent money on.

(And has any one of them turned around to us and said, “Thank you for letting me steal your money so I can live my life”?)

So Very True
I don't know how much I have saved by having natural nails my whole life

I have always associated them with people with zero money who are trying desperately to impress others, similar to the guys with fancy mags on their junk cars.

“I have always associated fanciful painted nails with”...cheap jewelry, dressing like a hooker - and obesity.

And it’s especially irritating when a woman with fake nails constantly feels the need to draw attention to them by tapping them on the table.
