I like French Peds. I think french manicures are classy, as long as they're fairly short.

I don't see how they're slutty but I do think they're tacky.

What? Whoever wrote that article has some really strange ideas!
I do think that those really long (and normally square) acrylic nails look really trashy, and those are often french manicured. But normal looking nails with a french mani can look great! It's all to do with the overall look of the nail, not the polish! Like, for instance, if I'm going to wear a bright red on my nails I might file them down a bit so they don't look skanky, which they might if I left them longer.
It's stupid to say an entire style of manicure is slutty! It completely depends on who's wearing it, and how they're wearing it!
And anyway, do we really believe that guys pay that much attention to our nails???

I have pink and whites, which is the color of the acrylic to make my french manicure since they are ALOT more durable since it doesn't chip due to the color being in the acrylic and not paint. I love them ! They go with everything and look fresh and classy not slutty. When I think slutty I think long bright red ! I guess since my mom always told me red was for grown up ladies.
Funny thing is aren't french suppose to mimick the natural color are nail are if they are allowed to grow out !!! I guess having natural looking nails is slutty.

I used to get french manicures but haven't in the past year or so but how are they "slutty"? Like nails...length, color or design can tell a lot about a person. Now if that doesn't sound high school-ish, I don't know what does.

WHAAA?!?! I think it's so cute! I love it when I go in and get a french mani.. I can't stop starting at my hands! lol.
Umm.. I REALLY don't think guys notice that much about our hands.. No offense to anyone.. but a lot of guys (my b/f is the prime example) have a lot of things fly right over their heads.. besides.. if they DO think that french nails make you look slutty.. too much time spent watching porn maybe?? LOL

I love all nails. Whether they are artificial or real, they're cool to look at!

Sure they are associated with pornstars...but then so are high heels and fake lashes...
And the reason those are used by pornstars is because they make them hyperfeminine (as with the big boobs and generally long hair). Longer nails are generally considered feminine and french manicures make the nails look longer because of the white part, so they then look more feminine.
I think its like tongue rings, belly shirts, and mini skirts....they CAN be slutty, but it really depends on the person wearing them...
and I personally LOVE french manicures cuz it elongates my fingers which are like stubby mc stubbs

Thats ridiculous. I think they look classy but simple. I don't see how a french manicure can look slutty.
As for acrylic nails, well they look fake. Porn stars usually look fake and they usually have acrylics so I can understand that. I'm not saying everyone with acrylics looks slutty, but I understand whats being said about the acrylics. I guess
What I think is trashy is young girls in middle/high school with acrylics on all year. I get them for special occasions and I hate having my nails done, but I knew girls who had to always have them on.

I think french manicures are fine unless your nails are so long its obvious they are fake.
