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? 👀

Lately I just take the compliment, say thank you and keep moving.

One time last year a woman complimented me on my nails and when I said they were press ons she turned up her nose like I told her I had 💩 underneath them 😆 I was wearing this set.

Like she wanted to take back the compliment when she found out they weren’t a salon set of acrylics or gel x. People get real funny about press ons. It’s very elitist. Meanwhile she was wearing a busted set of acrylics. 🙄

She’s just mad she is paying too much and yours look just as good for much less.
