People Who REALLY Didn’t “Nail” Their Nail Art

By Editorial Staff in Bizarre On 9th February 2017

Nails are one of those things you either love or hate. Some people prefer to forget that they exist, while others are adamant that they get a new set every other week. Many women are now getting their nails done in very unique ways and they often are pretty amazing, except for these people. These are the folks taking nail art too far, and really not nailing it at all. From the scary shapes to the outlandish flowers and bedazzling, who in their right mind would EVER want nails like this? And the worst part is that they probably paid an enormous amount of money to get these nails done this way!

#1 Wedding Day

What bride doesn't want to go all out and get her makeup, hair, and nails professionally done for her big day? This bride opted not to carry a bouquet and had her nails transformed into a floral arrangement. Guess this leaves her nads free to carry more champagne and cocktail weiners, but what's she going to toss for the single ladies to catch?

#2 Bringing Out The Big Guns

She's obviously a fan of the Second Amendment and a force to be reckoned with. Each nail features a different shoot ‘em up style, from the dramatic and large to the small but deadly. The guns are probably not shootable, but with today's technology, who knows. Maybe she's a spy, but let's just hope she doesn't shoot anyone's eye out.

#3 Are They Trolling?

This might be an homage to the movie Trolls or maybe she just loved the hairy little dolls from the 70s. One thing is for sure, this is a hairy, fuzzy, psychedelic mess. Who wants to see fingers like this coming at them? Many questions come to mind, like how do you cook, bathe, or wash your hands? Lets hope she is not a waitress because this would bring new meaning to 'there's a hair in my soup'.

#4 Everything’s Better Down Where It’s Wetter

Everything except for fingernails, apparently. Seriously, this sight is enough to make one gag. It is unclear whether they were going for more of a coral or more of a lobster look, and the flying sea critters just make us more confused. We are also not sure why the seashells are going halfway up their arms. It is like they are trying to turn their whole body into part of the ocean, starting with the nails. Somebody should have informed this person that less is more.

#5 Flat And… Twisted

This looks like somebody ran over a perfectly good set of nails and flattened them out. The pattern is just nauseating and the width at the end is scary. But WTF is with the pinky? It looks like that was left for tasks like picking a nose. Gross!

#6 The Parent Trap

This one has me stumped. It looks like a charm bracelet glued to someone's long and pointed nails. It looks like somebody’s kid went all out with these disgusting fingernail styles. We are not even sure what the theme is supposed to be, but this is what happens when you're drunk and your kid asks, "Mom, can we paint your nails?"

#7 Miniature World

The colors are subtle, and the style would be cute if it was painted on. It’s something about the fact that they’re pop up that makes us cringe. This 3D nature concept gets quirkier and quirkier the more you look at it. Who would walk around with their hands opened like this all day long, and what's with the panda bear? This looks like someone just found a bunch of miniatures and glued them onto their nails for attention.

#8 Tetris

An oldie but a goodie...NOT! Carving your tips into Tetris pieces is a little on the weird side, even for true gamers. You would think that anyone doing this technique would at least make sure the pieces fit together and match, but they don't. And her lies the problem; you can't play the game now with these nails!

#9 Tip To Toe

Yes, we found a ridiculous set of toenails to include on this list too. Sharpened to a point, it looks like you’d deflate a bouncy castle if you got a little too into it. These things are monstrous, and certainly, don’t offer much in terms of subtlety. They don’t really offer much of anything other than confusion and gagging. While we’re all for a fun set of toes, we think this is going too far. You still need to be able to walk in them, without worrying about piercing through your shoes.

#10 The Old Classic

If you’ve been following bad nail art for any amount of time you’ll have seen the Swiss Army Hand before. A favorite of the internet, this person’s hand makes other survival tools feel a sense of shame. None of them are as handy as this one. Imagine breaking a nail while unscrewing a cork from a bottle of wine. These are very impractical, and much like a real Swiss Army knife, probably not worth the money paid to purchase them.

#11 Food Safe First

We were all taught as kids to wash ur hands before eating a meal because of sanitary issues. But what if the food is attached to the hand? Food is not a fashion accessory no matter how hard some people try to make it so. Sprinkles belong on cupcake tops, not on the tops of our hands. The designer of this trend probably loved Lady Gaga's meat dress!

#12 Not Even Good Bad Nail Art

A few Halloweens ago there was a trend involving gore nails. This is where people who were interested in special effects makeup or gore makeup would do up their nails as rotting, zombie-esque, or sewed-on, scabbed-over designs. It is really impressive, as long as you do not have a weak stomach. The people who have committed to this trend really commit, and it makes it fun to see around Halloween and other costume party times. Sadly, most of them did not look that good and people were stuck with the nails after Halloween, which made for some creepy handshakes and greetings. They look like someone got lazy and just didn't remove their polish and then played in mud all day long.

#13 Flower Power

If these were pretty, petite flowers, it might work, but NO. These are ugly, cheap, miniature flowers that have no place existing in the world, let alone on someone’s body. Apparently, this is a Spring/Easter fashion statement but we suggest leaving plastic flowers at the Dollar Tree.

#14 Terrarium

If you have a green thumb but minimal garden space, why not create your own mini-world full of lush and beautiful plants by making your own terrarium, on your nails? Much like the flowery nails, this is ridiculous. It's okay to love nature and enjoy the great outdoors, but placing rocks and shrubs on your fingers is just not a pretty site. Besides, you'll eventually attract bugs.

#15 Ru Pauls Drag Race

The big new trend is to put famous celebs or movie and TV show scenes and characters on your nails. The question is why? This woman. or man, loved Ru Pauls Drag Race so much that she painted her nails with the cast from the drag modeling show. it's well done and beautifully executed, but again we ask, why?

#16 Doggy Style

Many people have a passion for certain things so much so that they dress in a tribute to that thing or go overboard in showing their affection for that thing. If you're shaking your head, here's what we mean, people love their pets! Yes, people are getting exact portraits of their beloved cats and dogs painted on their nails. It's sort of cute, but a little goes a long way and it's not something for all occasions.

#17 Real Doggy Style

Yes, people are taking their dogs in for full manny and peddys. These might be the same people who get their dogs pictures on their nails, but in any case, it's expensive and a waste of money. Dogs don't care what color their nails are and one good run through the mud will ruin the whole fashion statement. This dog got the short end of the stick with these nails, which not only don’t match but are such a funny little pattern we’re not sure if it would read from far away. We also worry about the toxicity of the nail polish. Fingers crossed this dog didn’t ingest any, though we hear they make it purely for dogs now because it is so popular.

#18 Beyoncé’s Ode To Red Lobster

Like previously mentioned, the latest nail art trend is to paint famous faces on the polished nails. It can be creative and cute, but not something you want to wear for very long. We've seen nails recently with The Beatles, Betty White, and The Backstreet Boys on them.This Beyonce tribute is well done and the artist is crafty as hell, but the tribute to her Red Lobster fiasco is a little odd. Not something to keep painted on for any social events.

#19 Even Beyonce Herself Knows The Rules

Keep it simple and keep your hands steady out there, babes.
