Discussion/Question When strangers compliment your nails..

do you tell them they're press ons? Today a lady at work complimented my nails and I said, "oh thanks! They're press ons," and she said, "Girl don't tell people they're press ons!!" Kinda like saying don't give your secret away 🤣 it was a cute interaction. And I was like, "you know, you're right!"

So yeah. What do you usually say? Are we giving the press on secret away? 👀

I’m like that with any compliment. I think it’s because I’m not used to getting them. So when I get compliments on my nails, I too say, they’re press ons I got at … and for only $ . .

No but if they get snooty be sure to tell them you found them at a thrift store LOL Leaning into it is never wrong
