So, we’ve heard of the duck face, that much-mocked facial expression often used in self-photog. Now the wonderful and surprising beauty industry brings you the ”duck-feet” manicure. At least that’s what it’s being dubbed. Would you try this wacky nail trend?
Yes, this is real. Snooki’s even been spotted sporting it. The styles vary from tame to extreme, and involve a highly sculpted acrylic tip, custom made by your manicurist. Ladies who love new nail trends don’t shy away just because it might limit the use of ones hands a little — would you be down to try this unconventional manicure trend?

Oh goodness, those all look hideous. I can’t imagine them being very convenient or comfortable.

No. Nuh-uh. Never ever. Personally, I think that the flared tips are gaudy and (for a lack of a better word) fugly. Plus I work a LOT with my hands and I I run into issues if my nails extend past my fingertips so they would just be a burden anyhow.
guest
My sister gets these all of the time. They’re ugly as sin.

that seems…incredibly inconvenient. but maybe if i’m dressed like a sexy duck for halloween XD
guest
Only if someone rendered me unconscious, took me to a nail salon, and then had them done before I woke up.
guest
Yeah, I don’t like this at all. And if Snooki is wearing it, you can bet yourself I will not have anything to do with it.
And it pisses me off that its called the duck face. Because its classically known as the kissy face…or at least thats how it arose. Some people take it too far.
guest
would you be down to try this unconventional manicure trend? No, I would not get a Duck foot manicure, they look like nails of a technophobe. How can anyone type or text with those duck nails? No, no, no I still would not want them. I guess if someone felt they were very pretty and could do no wrong, and felt they need to defend themself, would get these kind of nails. (All looks and no brainer) they all have fat fingers, like they dont type
guest
I don’t like fake nails in general so this horrendous look, definitely not for me.
guest
@xsPoNgEs_go_SQUISHx13@xanga - Hahaha

This reminds me of fashion/makeup stuff they have in the Capitol in The Hunger Games.

No. no. NOOOO!!!
I’m all for nail designs, but that shape is so trashy looking.
guest
The “duck face” was a major fail, and so is this “duck feet” manicure.

I can’t stand normal long nails. There’s no way I could tolerate these.

This is hideous.
guest
Holy hell these are ugly. I guess I would only get them if I was striving to look like white trash.
guest
Ew. No.
guest
I wouldn’t try it…it doesn’t look good.

If I could ever use the word “ratchet”, it would be to describe this ridiculous nail trend.
guest
No. It’ll be extremely unlikely that I will try this type of manicure. My regular, short nails snag on everything, I can’t imagine how these would shred every piece of fabric I come into contact with.
guest
no, because i like being able to use my hands. fucking ridiculous.
guest
You could absolutely nothing with these. No masturbation, no texting, no typing, no easily picking up a dropped pencil or pen or coin from the floor, no nothing. Not only could you do nothing functional with these ugly nails, but – they’re UGLY. Huge flared tips? What even? -_- No one thought the duck-face craze was cute, anyone who thinks these “ducky” nails are cute – are outta their mind.
guest
i would never try that. i know some girls who have been doing that for years, though not as extreme, but it looks so trashy having them fan out that way. i like designs on the ones in the picture, but that’s the only thing that makes them look cool..
guest
Am I the only who thinks acrylic nails and manicures look trashy as hell?
guest
Yuck
guest
This is awful..
guest
@raised_bywolves@xanga - Nope.
guest
I think they’re gag-me ugly, but to each his own…
guest
never! they look so trashy and inconvinient. plus if you’re wearing something snooki has worn, you have to seriously reconsider
guest
Umm. . . Ew. Those are amazingly horrendous. I really hope that style doesn’t catch on! Lol

guest
Uh… NO.
guest
No way! I have a hard time typing when my natural nails get too long. I can’t imagine how hard it would be with those.

Those don’t look comfortable…also, they look just awful!
guest
owwwwwwww my brain.
guest
I would rather have pointed demon nails than those fugly things.
guest
@VictrolaDoll@xanga - Were you contemplating what reason on God’s earth someone would want those? Hurt my brain too.
guest
@cherryv0dka@xanga - Basically. I mean, I know the real reason, even if the people who wear them don’t. It’s a status symbol. Saying that they can afford to make their hands useless because they do no manual labor. But “ow” was my gut reaction to the contemplation.
guest
No. While it does have more space for nail art, the shape is uggggggly. Also, every time I look at it I imagine that all that extra surface makes them easier to get whacked off–painful. Those corners also look like they’ll easily get caught on stuff.

I’ll pass on this “trend.”
guest
I think it looks sort of gross. Idk.
guest
I think stiletto nails are even more comfortable! I have my gel nails just round!
it’s funny to look at though!
guest
Oh sweet baby-kicking Jesus, no. Imagine how unsanitary they’d be.
guest
That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Whyyyyyyy?
guest
Oh my goodness. That is ugly.
guest
It’s tacky and hideous.
guest
looks disgusting
