Manicure is of great importance in everyday life. When communicating with people, you want to make a positive impression, and here everything matters, including our manicure. But lately, some people seem to like to break the rules and challenge established ideals of beauty and success.
For example, there are ladies who defiantly post photos on social networks
with cellulite and unshaven armpits, declaring, “This is who I am!” And I’m not going to follow public opinion and modern canons of beauty!” Others strive to show off a terrible manicure in the photo. It's hard to understand why they take these photos and post them online.
In my opinion, such photos are a dubious reason for pride, because bad appearance is not a merit or achievement, but, on the contrary, it is the result of a disregard for one’s own life.
Let's look at 10 “killer” examples of manicure that make many men dislike the wearer. Indeed, in these examples there is, at a minimum, bad taste, and at a maximum, pretentiousness and aggression in all its “glory.” Moreover, false nails will also be included here, since they can safely be considered a manicure element.
Manicure “Cemetery Diva”
For example, having seen this, I would involuntarily say :
“I got my nails done, went to cook, cleaned the sink at the same time, defrosted the refrigerator, washed the floors... now I’m going to scare passers-by.”
The “charm” of this manicure is not only in its theme, but also in the fact that it looks clumsily executed and overly artificial.

but after All Saints' Day I would recommend removing it immediately.
Too much nail length
When I see nails like the one below, I want to say ironically: “I don’t understand girls who spend money on manicures when they can have long stripes instead of nails.” 
I think the girls also understand that this is something not quite right.

Attrition
Some ladies go out into the world with a worn and half-faded manicure, looking at which one involuntarily thinks: “It would be better if she completely erased this beauty.” The clearest example is shown in the photo below.

Excessive pretentiousness and abundance of glitter
Nails with too much shine do not make the most pleasant impression, especially when they are not done very professionally. This gives the impression of some pomposity of their wearer. 
Maybe it will seem elegant to some, but for me such nails look quite rough. Photo: left - @queenofnails, right - @uglyducklingnails.
"Rustic chic"
This is the epithet I would give to a manicure that evokes the feeling:
- cheapness;
- the absurdity of trying to impress.
And even if a girl is dressed well, she has good makeup, nails of this kind spoil the image.
The photos below are an example of a manicure that looks “cheap” (although the butterfly on the middle finger “saves” the situation a little).

Artificiality
I wouldn't say that the nails in the photo below look terrible as they are neatly done and don't contain scary pictures. But they look too artificial. 
Everything seems to be neat, but still something is wrong... Photo: left - @marknails_studio, right - @cnddeutschland.
Too much diversity
Sometimes the multi-colored variegation of nails seems excessive. When one color scheme is maintained, the whole image looks harmonious. When combining all the colors of the rainbow, it is very difficult to maintain the color scheme. 
“Which color of varnish are we going to apply? red, black, blue, lilac, green, yellow? Let’s do it all at once!”

Excessive pathos
Sometimes nails look downright pretentious. Girls with such a manicure seem aggressive and trying to win everyone's attention in a tough and rude manner. The glitter on the skin of the fingers and hands adds special pathos. 
Probably, the wearers of such nails think that they outshine everyone around them! Photo: left - @gorgeous_shai, right - @nishanails.
Witch's claws
Many men are also repelled by overly elongated and strongly pointed nails, which look like those of witches from folklore. Except for an appropriate performance or a themed party (for example, Halloween), such a manicure is not appropriate anywhere else. 
Every woman has a little bit of the witch in her. This one, I would say, has a lot...

Acid bright nails
Many men admit that nails, which stand out sharply with their excessively bright color against the background of the hand, give them not very pleasant feelings. It’s still better when nails look like a good addition, and not as the most important element of female beauty. 
Photo: Shutterstock Dear girls and women! I will be very glad if you understand the message of the article and stop experimenting in the manner, examples of which are given above. And to conclude this article, I would say that nails are almost the second “face” of a girl and you need to be able to properly care for your appearance.
You need to follow not only trends in clothing, but also in manicure. After all, it complements any of your looks.
Nails are not only beautiful, but also scary! The reasons for this can be different situations. This article tells and shows the most terrifying examples of manicure.
Manicure, sometimes, is not only beautiful, but even scary! Personal beliefs, the desire to stand out in the crowd, or some other reason makes people turn an ordinary manicure into a terrifying sight. However, people continue to attract attention in various ways. One of them is to grow indecently long nails.
There is no benefit from this and it is unlikely to be practical at all, but the public is interested and is even willing to pay money to look at such a spectacle. Some unique people even ensured that their achievements were included in the Guinness Book of Records. Their unkempt, creepy yellow nails hang and curl. Some people simply carry their hands in bags, protecting their “treasure”.
In addition to individuals around the world, there are several well-known people who have decided to grow their nails horribly long. The exact reasons why they did this are not known, but many believe that this is the easiest way to attract attention.
For example, a singer Chris Walton. The woman is already forty-five years old and is currently considered the owner of the longest nails. She lives in the USA, in Los Angeles, and many only know her stage name - “Countess”. It was she who was able to record her result in the book of records.
The specialists in this book were able to record the maximum length of Chris’s nails - 91 centimeters. This nail was grown on the left thumb. It is interesting to know that if you add up the entire length of all her nails, you can get a mark of more than six meters.
It’s surprising that the reason for her desire to grow long nails, the singer considers her great passion for caring for them. Every day she spends a huge amount of time to perform hygiene procedures. She sees the only downside of such nails is that they require a huge amount of varnish bubbles. However, women get great pleasure when people pay attention to them and ask questions.
Chris Walton and her long nails
As Chris herself admitted, people who notice her nails often think that she is holding snakes in her hands. She perceives them very positively and loves when others treat her achievements with a bit of humor.
Another lady, Guinness book record holder - Lee Redmond He also has indecently long nails, the total length of which is more than seven meters. Surprisingly, the woman manages not only to take care of herself, but also to look after her sick elderly husband. There is information that some connoisseurs from Japan have already offered a price of one hundred thousand dollars for her nails.

Along with the fact that people leave their hands and nails in a deplorable state, they manage to terrify others with their pedicure. There are two ways to make your toenails look ugly: not taking care of them at all, or growing them to an obscenely large size. As a result, the legs take on a completely wild and primitive appearance, yellow and brown nails grow and bend the fingers.
Of course, this feature significantly reduces the quality of life, restricts a person’s walking and movements, does not allow wearing nice shoes, scratches and simply causes disgust.

There are several reasons why your nails may look ugly:
- the presence of a disease affecting the nail plate
- finger injuries that lead to damage and curvature of the nail plate
- congenital finger problems
- inability or unwillingness to take care of your nails and get a manicure
- a way to attract attention using scary nails

Both long and short nails can be unpleasant and unsightly. Most often, this is caused by either congenital abnormalities in the development of the fingers, or personal carelessness and unwillingness to take care of oneself. It is very easy to make the nail plate short - frequent cutting of it “at the root” shortens it each time and does not allow it to grow fully.

Situations very often happen when inexperienced manicurists and self-taught manicurists literally destroy the nail and make it disgustingly ugly. They apply too much material or do it unevenly in pieces. Some of them even do this on purpose in order to record the result.
Whatever the reason for creating scary nail extensions, photos of such manicures flood the Internet and surprise everyone with their appearance.

It seems that this trend of growing long, ugly and scary nails has taken over the whole world. All over the world there are unique people who decide to grow their nails unnaturally long. Such actions shock society even when they even try to take care of such nails and decorate them.

scary black fingernails and toenails Video: “The most terrible types of nail designs”
Coco Chanel also said that hands are a woman’s calling card. But some people conveniently forgot about it. We have made a selection of stars who do not consider it shameful to appear in public with a terrible manicure or without it at all.
Britney Spears: Blood and Tears
It seems that only the lazy and Britney herself have not heard about the pop star’s habit of biting her nails. The girl continues to shock the audience with peeling nail polish, bitten nails and bleeding hangnails.
Shakira: it's peeling, and that's okay
Maybe Shakira just wanted to paint her nails to match the print of her blouse? A very questionable choice. The star has a terrible manicure. More precisely, there is none.
Calista Flockhart: poor, but clean
This is, of course, better than Shakira's, but if you choose total nude, it is better to make sure that there is no dirt under your nails. Maybe Calista simply didn’t have time to drop by the nail salon, and it’s not appropriate for stars to take care of their hands on their own?
Cynthia Erivo: all the best at once
But Cynthia Erivo approached the issue thoroughly, even too thoroughly. For the Met Gala festival, the girl had her nails painted for two whole days: on the first day they made sketches, and on the second they painted the sketches. As a result, Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam” painting, generously seasoned with rhinestones and a chain, appeared on the singer’s nails. Cynthia, do you really think this is stylish?
Kesha: the word indecent is written
Extravagant Kesha wrote an indecent word on her nail, and then changed her mind and decided to hide the error with voluminous flowers. Otherwise how to explain all this?
Salma Hayek: in kind
Salma Hayek is too lazy to go to manicurists. I trimmed my nails - and it was good.
Kristen Wiig: DIY
Why waste time on a manicure when you can “carefully” paint your nails with a “discreet” black varnish. Really, Kristen?
Madonna: bruises
Madonna's nails look like she crushed them in a door - and there are bruises underneath them. By the way, the singer herself did not demonstrate this manicure. Katy Perry helped her with this by posting a series of photos with the pop diva on Instagram. Maybe it's just jealousy?
Everyone has their own idea of the beauty of hands and nails: there is no defined perfect manicure. But every girl will agree that There are times when you don’t even want to look at your nails, the work there is so sloppy or strange. Ridiculous decorations or designs in manicure often frighten others. Then the general opinion agrees, because the manicure is simply terrible. No one is immune from this; even the most perfect fashionista can make a stupid mistake. To prevent this from happening to you, check out the examples of what not to do.
The worst decisions in the field of manicure. What not to do
Bad type of manicure
Fashion is constantly changing, but you don't always need to take its trends very seriously. Everyone knows how popular bright colors are now. The rich shade will add variety to clothes, accessories and even manicure. But this must be one, maximum two colors.
The worst manicure is a sloppy and overly colorful design. An example would be covering your nails with multi-colored polishes. This way you will definitely attract people's attention, but this There will most likely be mocking comments. It is better to choose one shade, but a beautiful one. In this case, you definitely can't go wrong.
Bad design decisions
If you don't know what design you want to see on your nails, it's better to contact a specialist. Your master will tell you what is relevant and looks beautiful on your hands. A big mistake many girls make is trying to make an individual drawing, unlike other styles. Usually the result is a very strange picture. You can see a terrible manicure of this type in the following photos.
Your image is not only an outfit and shoes, but also a manicure. After you've dressed up, stand up and look in the mirror. Does your nail design match your clothes? If not, you need to urgently look for a replacement. But this does not mean that you should choose the same shades. Colors may differ, the main thing is to maintain harmony and thoughtfulness of the image. For example, you can't paint your nails yellow and wear a purple dress or wear gold bracelets with green polish.
It will go well with any clothes. In addition, black is a universal color, because against its background any shade will look contrasting.
You can choose any shape and cover it with a beautiful color to get an attractive manicure. But no need to fantasize with the size of the form. Too long or, conversely, short nails will ruin any design. Look at your hands and select the desired size of the edge of the nail plate. Forget about long and pointed nails. It is also very impractical as you will not be able to perform your daily routine tasks.
A girl's best friend is diamonds. Many representatives of the fairer sex cover their nails with the likeness of these stones. This is about . There is nothing wrong with decorating your nails with a couple of stones, but nothing more. Abundance of rhinestones looks cheap and shows a lack of style from their owner.
Hit parade (top 10) of the worst examples of manicure among celebrities and stars
Celebrities don't always make their looks perfect. And often the main mistake lies precisely in unsuccessful nail design. Horrible manicures of stars can often be seen online, on the pages of magazines and even on their personal blogs. Maybe this is a PR stunt, because strange designs and color combinations attract much more attention than ordinary types of manicure.
Selena Gomez
Singer I couldn't decide on one color and chose several at once. Not without rhinestones. The end result will amaze more than one fashionista.
Jessica Alba
Stars also forget about accuracy. Actress manicure with dark tips looks like dirt, which significantly spoils the overall design. The French coat can be white or another bright color, but not a dark shade.
Kelly Osbourne
The celebrity decided to forget about the simple and made a very ordinary nail design. The only one the problem is the color. The gray tint makes your nails look sloppy and scary.
Tyra Banks
The famous model posted a photo of her nails on her Instagram with the caption “Help!” Looking at this manicure I really want to send the star a bottle of nail polish by mail. And a nail file.
Lady Gaga
The queen of shocking surprises the audience with her outfits. There were also nails. Singer's manicure it seems heavy and doesn’t make me want to repeat it similar in your hands.
Georgia May Jagger
Most likely, the model was very hungry. This is the only explanation for the fact that she covered her nails with sushi designs. Image of food on nails will never attract approving comments.
Venessa Hudgens
There can never be too many stones! But the socialite decided to prove the opposite by placing it on her nails an incredible amount of rhinestones.
Lily Allen
If you listen to the same type of music for a very long time, you can then embody her image on your nails. This idea is suggested by Lily’s manicure with images of rap artists and leaves of a forbidden plant.
Heidi Klum
Hollywood has gained fame as a “golden” place, and its residents contribute to this in every possible way. Heidi Klum decided to do her nails in a beige tone, covering them with stones of the same color. It's a big mistake any decorations should differ in shade from the base coat of varnish.
Rihanna
The designs on the nails look very interesting. The singer decorated her manicure with drawings of dollar bills. Many tabloids discussed this design, but they Opinions agreed that he looked rather strange.
To avoid finding yourself in a similar situation, you need to carefully monitor the color theme of your manicure. The unbridled imagination of the master can also play a bad joke; if you don’t like something, you need to immediately pay attention to it. The main mistake girls make is that they often cannot stop and make a whole picture of drawings and stones on their nails. What do you think about this?
The fashion industry dictates its own unwritten laws. When choosing between handsome and lady, use common sense. Preference in favor of the chosen style is justified in certain conditions to maintain the image. As they say, a manicure should be in keeping with your wardrobe and behavior. What nails can be called terrible and what horror means for fashionistas is a moot point. However, conclusions are not difficult to draw.
Horror movie manicure
Incredibly, terrible manicures in the style of films with ghosts, monsters, bloody scenes and the dead are back in fashion. The owners of manicures with splashes of blood or vampire faces, bones and severed limbs turned out to be models and demonstrated a collection of clothes from Blonds designers. The designers decorated false nails with a horror effect worthy of Hitchcock with Swarovski crystals. Brown, red, burgundy tones with black and green splashes created the effect of a decomposing body. The ones with the bloody inscription “murder” were no less impressive.
You shouldn't wear the worst manicure in the world in everyday life. True, if you want to spoil the appetite of your chosen one at a table in a restaurant or scare a maniac, then you can take a risk. The main thing is not to scare children. True, fans of the emo style are delighted with black spikes and decorations with skulls, so they will definitely try on nails straight from the meat grinder. And if such a nail falls off right into a glass of champagne, then it will be a real show.
Manicure stop
Fashion trendsetters firmly say stop to nail design, which is in bad taste. Today it is impossible to wear false nails or extend huge, predatory, sharp, terrible nails. The abundance of rhinestones and smiley faces, lace and bows looks completely tasteless, especially if such decorations are on every nail plate. If desired, it is permissible to leave one rhinestone or an unobtrusive composition on one nail. Too much excess always turns you off. The same can be said about a design with an oversaturation of the color palette. Sloppy manicure, uneven edges of the nail plate, chipped varnish, pearlescent varnish in lilac tones must be said stop.
A manicure with sharp teeth along the edge of the nail plate is quite original, but how can you not love your nails to disfigure them like that? It’s difficult to surprise anyone with such a design, if only yourself. The same can be said about designs with faces or lots of flowers, cats, cars, dogs and your own photo.
Winter or summer
The time of year also matters when choosing a manicure. For example, if bright neon colors are appropriate, it is only in the summer and not in the business sphere. At the dacha, with a sundress and a straw hat - just right. On the contrary, dark, purple tones are not suitable for summer. Autumn and winter manicure should look more expensive, regardless of pastel or saturated colors. Gray manicure goes harmoniously with different outfits. It can be appropriate both with a blue cocktail dress and with a playful sundress with polka dots. Gray manicure will also go well with a green silk blouse or lilac dress, well-chosen jewelry and matching accessories. The red color of the coating is always popular, but it looks advantageous on occasion. Calm tones with a minimum of decoration are suitable for every day.
The stars are wrong too
Star women have the right to make mistakes. It is not easy to maintain your image every day or look for new solutions to improve it. The stars' terrible manicure was demonstrated by showing the world tweed nails under a tweed jacket, and Georgia May Jagger with sushi nails. Lily's manicure with the famous Chanel brand is simply shocking with its vulgarity and makes you love this brand less. Katy Perry is ready for Christmas long before the event, as evidenced by her Santa pedicure. Rihanna matches her nails to the color of her pink hair. But the most iconic terrible manicure with multi-colored coffins was shown to the world by Kelly Osbourne. It's not easy for stars to choose a design. Apparently, in search of uniqueness, it’s worth looking at the idea through the eyes of fans and smiling once again at your reflection.
dotted
The polka dot dress came to us from eighteenth-century France. Since then, cheerful polka dots have always been at the peak of fashion. The use of peas in nail design brings novelty to the image. White looks luxurious. It is equally good in summer and winter. On a white background, the regular geometric shapes of a circle can have various fancy patterns. Elements are grouped to form new shapes. The main thing is a sense of proportion. There is no need to decorate each nail plate with a complex composition. A wedding white manicure with polka dots adds some enthusiasm to the bride’s image. The circles can have different colors, but a white base with black polka dots will be ideal. You can dilute it a little with gold or silver. The composition is secured with a transparent coating. But be careful. If you overdo it even the slightest, you can end up with a simply terrible manicure.
Children's manicure
Little ladies also need a manicure on special occasions. True, parents need to be especially selective when choosing nail polish for their children. This varnish should be as gentle as possible, without acetone in the composition, and no gel. The coating must be removed using gentle means. At all holidays in kindergarten, with a fantasy design on her nails, the little lady will feel like a real princess. On your birthday, a delicate transparent or thin pink polish should be decorated with a composition with flowers, geometry or stars.
Caring for nails and skin at home
You can get terrible nails if you simply don't take care of them. In order to keep your delicate hands young as long as possible, first of all, all housework using household chemicals must be done with rubber gloves.
The health of internal organs, the balance of vitamins and minerals are also reflected in the condition of the skin of the hands and nails. For example, peeling nails indicate calcium deficiency in the body. Problems with the liver and bile ducts are manifested by age spots. If you carry out regular cleansing procedures, new pigment spots do not appear, and existing ones become less pronounced. Age spots also indicate a woman’s age, usually over forty, so many ladies do not want to show their age.
At home, lemon juice helps with pigmentation, and chamomile baths help soften the skin. To strengthen your nails, it is important to eat right, enriching your diet with calcium and protein: oranges, cottage cheese, eggs, milk, cheese. Salt baths will help strengthen the plate when peeling nails.
Salon care
Nails must be well-groomed when applying the coating. Processed cuticle, polished correct shape of the nail plate - first of all. The skin of the hands should have a healthy appearance, without wrinkles and age spots, burns and cuts. It is possible to get rid of pigment spots through laser resurfacing.
In a salon environment, taking care of your nails and skin is not burdensome. Relaxing baths and skillful actions of the master will help relieve stress and tidy up the cuticle. Rejuvenating masks for the skin of the hands are desirable after a manicure procedure. Health and youth are in trend today. Manicure of any style looks better on well-groomed young hands. In adulthood, you have to fight to prolong your youth, but all women deserve it. Modern technologies and materials make it possible to minimize the harmful effects of the coating composition on nails.
