God what a waste of good pie. I can, however, imagine the ladies down at the DMV ticking away slowly at their keyboard with these bad boys on their nailtips.
I thought they were kind of cute until I realized they were fake nails. At least I hope they’re fake. Thinking about the possibilities makes me a little sick
not to be indelicate, but how would one wipe one’s own ass with these things? or *god help me* insert a tampon?
the possible/probable loss and ensuing trips to the OB/GYN boggle the mind.
Back in the olden days of the late 80s, I went to beauty college to do nails. “Nail Technician” was the title.
Our instructor used to tell us of “things to come” in a slightly mystical way. I ended up getting out of the business because of a military spouse (and subsequent moving around).
Now I wonder if the “things to come” the old lady used to talk about included… this… uh, stuff.
#9 Efit-
These would also be perfect for a New Jersey Toll Collector. I can never figure out why they have such long nails when dealing with small change all day. Perplexing.
Also, how does one wipe their ass/insert tampon, etc. with Cookies and Pie…Pleez???
#22, I think that someone already did (They ate cookies and pie and made that painting we saw the other day).
Maybe next they will super-glue pieces of corn to (allegedly fake) nails…
I thought at first that I HAVE to have these, but no way they’d look anywhere near as good on me as they look on Rachel Maddow! I hope someone sends this to her!
Hey these would be great, as long as you don’t need your hands to type, write, dial a phone, do housework, drive a car, rake the yard, play with your kids, shower, scratch your head, scratch your ass, get dressed, get undressed, prepare food, eat food, read a book, reach into your purse for anything, open a bottle, knit, crochet, sew, pat the dog or cat…
At the risk of being thumbed down to death, these are nothing. A good friend of mine had a teacher in college that had really long nails covered in acrylic. She had the canal of the nail filled in with acrylic that contained one or two of her kids baby teeth.
How I wish I wasn’t at work and could photoshop the regretsy cat on nails. Someone please take on this task. Make sure to include bows. And strawberries.
Seriously.
Is there some expert in nail designs out there that can tell us if there really is a “Kawaii” style of fake nail that people wear? All I can think of is all the germs that must live in all the little nooks and crannies (and perls).
Oh, and I hope the VIAR did not offend Rachel; she is awesome!
@ 41 Kawaii means “cute”, (small, adorable,) in Japanese. I have NO idea what that has to do with fake nails, as I find these to be neither cute nor small.
With the Kawaii reference and the pic of the eyeglasses in the VIIAR, I thought these were being proferred by that dimwit from Sheboygan; but, it is a different dimwit.
i think this item is a little misunderstood here in america. i mean, yes, they’re ugly as fuck, but do a google image search on “harajuku nails” and you’ll realize this set isn’t all that weird (for insane japanese girls).
I suppose the culture that gave us hello kitty, pokemon and cell phone charms would bring “fashion” nails to the cultural table. Oh, but it makes sense. Apparently 69% of Japanese homes have bidets, and therefore can have talons of fuckery without having to worry about wiping. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilets_in_Japan)
“Cause if you like your nails put some pie on it
If you liked them shoulda put a bow on them
Don’t be mad once you see what they look like
If you like your nails put some pie on it
Oh oh oh “
No one I know that uses Perl wears these. Possibly because they are unaware that they exist, but more likely because impede typing as well as many other things. I guess the only way to test this theory is to buy them and and see how it goes.
I’ll make sure they pick their nose and wipe their ass before reporting my findings.
Has anyone sent this picture to Rachel Maddow? I’ll bet we can get Regretsy on TV tonight. That’s the kind of shit she always seems flattered/embarrassed by that her staff likes to show.
#45 nymbus – “talons of fuckery” – that needs to be on a t-shirt or tattooed on me somewhere. That’s great. Now I have to use it in conversation tonight. Or register that name for a nail salon that I have to open now. Something.
me, i think it all would end up with a little bonus that i don’t actually want to say out loud…my little boy is here right now….i’d like to spare him years of therapy
Ok ashamed to admit I am part of the fake nail nation, a tasteful pink and white only please! These remind me of the the cheapo nail place by my house where it would literlly cost you “five dollar” for each extra piece of ho blingy shit added to your cheap crappy hooker-nail mani so this would cost ya an additional 205.00 bucks so for 18.00 its a steal!
Mr Snark comment: oh yeah uh ok what? why? (nose picking was also brought up, but already has been commented on)
Sometimes I feel really bad about how the culture of Japan gets whored out to North Americans, but then I remember that Japan doesn’t suffer for it. We do. Why etsy, why?
“Kawaii style” is not what these are called. This style of nail decoration is popular in Japan with girls who follow the “hime gyaru” fashion, a large population of which congregate in the Harajuku area of Tokyo as mentioned by a previous commenter. There are actually several sellers on Etsy with these kind of fake nails; just search handmade for “Japanese nail”.
These aren’t overly surprising actually.
But I’m used to seeing similar (okay.. much BETTER) on Japanese Pop stars.. usually for album covers, photoshoots, or music videos.. but not day to day wear as far as I’m aware..
April 8, 2010 at 9:33 am
very lady gaga.
April 8, 2010 at 9:40 am
This person makes wonderful little bows and cookies and the best she can do is glue them on fake nails?????
April 8, 2010 at 9:41 am
Sadly, I know some people who would love these.
April 8, 2010 at 9:41 am
Think of the nose picking injuries.
April 8, 2010 at 9:44 am
HK, LOL at the Kawaii-ed out Rachel Maddow (or is that KD Lang?).
April 8, 2010 at 9:45 am
If I’m going to indulge in a guilty pleasure, this isn’t it.
April 8, 2010 at 9:47 am
Took me a while to realize that they were not fridge magnets.
April 8, 2010 at 9:48 am
Perfect for the nail biting sweet tooth.
April 8, 2010 at 9:50 am
I love perls on my acrylic nails!
April 8, 2010 at 9:58 am
Suda, I think this would cure anyone from nail biting…
April 8, 2010 at 10:01 am
God what a waste of good pie. I can, however, imagine the ladies down at the DMV ticking away slowly at their keyboard with these bad boys on their nailtips.
April 8, 2010 at 10:02 am
These nails bite, alright.
April 8, 2010 at 10:03 am
Isn’t selling nose candy illegal?
April 8, 2010 at 10:08 am
So I had to google what “Kawaii-style” meant. I thought it meant ridiculous shit you glue on things.
April 8, 2010 at 10:13 am
LeeLoo, you “nailed” it.

April 8, 2010 at 10:22 am
Luv the middle finger. All perls and diamondz.
April 8, 2010 at 10:25 am
The horror…
April 8, 2010 at 10:28 am
Finger lickin’ good?
April 8, 2010 at 10:29 am
Try tips, nose picking injuries, the DMV….
BWA HAHAHA Lotsa’ coffee snorts over here.

Oohh la la …. Liberace would have LOVED these … imagine all these goodies dancing over the piano keys ….

April 8, 2010 at 11:09 am
I’m waiting for the new fashion buzz… just gluing random crap to your face.
These are…scary. maybe one fingernail per hand (that you can move out of the way when eating, toileting or doing surgery – but all 10 fingers?! Gah.
Although, if they were Pokemon instead of pie…
April 8, 2010 at 11:14 am

After glancing at the picture I felt like gagging until I realised they must be fake nails.
. . .they *are* fake, right? It is Etsy, after all. . . .

So…why are nails for one hand noticeably larger?
Perfect for my mutated large left hand.
April 8, 2010 at 1:23 pm
I sent a screenshot of those nails to my very-VERY-girly 11 year old niece — her response: “eeew”

And to add insult to injury, the buyer of these might not be able to wear them. Fake nails come sized, and not everyone’s nails are the same size…
April 9, 2010 at 8:04 am
Ooh…’Bulimia Nails’!!
I know what’s going on MY Christmas list…
April 9, 2010 at 4:42 pm
#64′s pics made me want to throw up; seriously. How can anyone think that’s attractive?
April 9, 2010 at 8:18 pm
People pay for this?
Off to buy fimo, rhinestones, fake nails and glue gun sticks. Oh, and butterflies, ribbon and flowers too – (thanks #64!)
April 9, 2010 at 8:29 pm
re: #45 nymbus Also, would love to name my ETSY shop “Talons of Fuckery” in my new chosen career venture.

Idiotic as these may be, you have to admit, that’s some fucking talent right there.
