Nail Day 2022

2022-05-05

When I was in Los Angeles in the early 1980s nearly every one of the female persuasion was a fashionista and nail fanatic. I mean, over the top polish and appliques every few days and some of those effects were quite striking.

Now being a man myself I was never really into that level of grooming — and I admit to being somewhat on the unevolved side for all that but REALLY I could not function at that level even were I to try.

So today is Nail day. If your thing is decorating your finger nails in those bright colors and perhaps detailed application of various decorative accoutrement then this is YOUR day.

If you like fake nails all the better.

The day is held under the auspices of a UK company called Elegant Touch. They develop those false nails and such as well as acrylic nails and nail tips for the discriminating lunatic seeking products which allow for both an over the top appearance in conjunction with less time at the salon.

The company states that participation in Nail Day is simple. You just post a "nailfie" (which I construe to be a dreaded finger nail selfie) using their hashtag #NailDay.

Yeah, this is another of those observances I think will be passing me right on by.
