Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Somewhat OT: Do you paint your nails?

Well, it took me a while, but I finally got around to doing it

I wonder how long it will last......(and I haven't played yet, so I have no idea how distracting it will be!!!)

i found that covering the nails and polish, with sparkle polish (not so good looking - I look like a fairy) enables the polish to last forEVER,

Wow, nice looking fingernails, ladies!!! Such pretty hands too!

Wana see my biceps? Never mind... I got into trouble for that over on the Piano Forum!

Take care!

Rick

Apple, I don't have sparkle polish, but I have found that a layer of clear on top of the colour helps. Also, putting a layer of clear on first helps keep the whites of the nails from staining - however, now, with my pianist-short fingernails that is no longer a concern.

I played last night and didn't even notice the polish. zero distraction

Thanks Ricky .....and hey, I caught that pic .... nice biceps.

Those colours are so "last year" now.

I posted a pic like that once...I got banned from the PW forums for a month for "Posting Nudity", the upload was intercepted, it never actually got posted. Anyway, what's wrong with early beginners painting the fingering numbers on their nails, i.e. RH Thumb = 1 and so on?

That picture of my sister with her new red piano, is very very far from nudity.

In fact the Daily Express ( which is the benchmark in the UK) has printed more risk-ay.
Absolutely nothing wrong with anyone painting there nails,especially as you suggest with numbers, I totally agree.

Incidently, the red piano was cross threaded with another thread, and has to be seen in context with that one.

In the picture, nothing can be seen at all of the human body that could give offence, you actually see more of most builders bums in the street when they are working. It is tastefully artistic.

I cant imagine what you may have tried to post, but i hope it wasnt some of my sisters more saucy pics.

Really? Your sister?....Hmmmm and she just *happened* to send you that picture, revealing her tush. Very interesting.....

I *hate* nail polish in general- makes my nails feel "heavy". Seriously.

You know, I suspect this got revived from over a year ago because it was linked to from a thread in the pianists corner. I think the ABF does a pretty good job of deciding for itself when threads are relevant and when they're not, and are pretty respectful. I'd hate to see this one turn into a silly, or mocking, or disrespectful thread. The ABF at the time responded in the way the ABF thought was appropriate, it didn't get totally out of hand, and it wasn't moderated. There may be people who disagree with that, because generally speaking there's never complete agreement about anything.

But each forum in PW has its own flavor, knows its own members and its own interests, and the ABF is, IMO, the best of them in that sense, and our moderators for the most part leave us to ourselves. So our collective perspective on this thread was that it was fine.

I, for one, would really like to keep it that way.

Indeed Cathy, I actually was reminded about this thread from last year, and it was Mrs R that pointed out to me that any nail varnish colours discussed last year would now be very much out of date.
Apparently, it's a "girl thing" like not wearing the same dress at a party as someone else.
Or being seen in public in the same pair of shoes on more than one occasion, specially important to minor celebrities.

I have absolutely no problem with abiding by the moderators decisions,whether I agree with them or not is irrelevent, they have the final say , and thats how it should be.

You are reading way too much into any connection.

Like I said PPP put up a link, I followed it, and remembered the humour here, which I hadnt thought about in ages.

And then was informed that last years colours of nail varnish are innapropriate for this year.
Simples.

IMO the picture I tried to upload was no more risque than the one posted in this thread, mine was the one used a couple years back in publicity for the "Calender Girls" stage show here in the UK, most of the ladies were discretely hidden behind a piano, the lady pianist was showing no more than the lady in the present example. It may have been the caption I posted alongside it, "My kind of piano teacher", which caused offence.

Rather than continue this year old, off topic thread with a discussion of whether a picture is or isn't too risqué for the forum and perhaps tempting others to push the envelope of what's acceptable, I'll just close it now.
