I have just found this forum, so my apologies for dredging up some old threads.

Does anyone have a fantasy about being hypnotized by an LNB?

I don't remember her very distinctly:

Finally a much better quality video of Tammy Wynette's awesome nails from 1983...I only wish she had kept them, they are incredible!

Outstanding find. Only the old guys here can appreciate how rare and special it was to see nails like that back in the day.

In this December 11, 1939 issue of Life magazine, Juliette Marglen proudly shows off her inch+ long nails and even had a one year birthday party for them (how cute). As you can see they looked so so good...but sadly it does not have a happy ending. :(

I also remember somewhere an article from the 1930s or so where a woman has grown her nails for a few years or so because she was so pleased to have kicked her nail biting habit...I sure wish I could find it again.

Also sometimes in high school yearbooks (believe it or not) one of the senior categories was "longest fingernails" and I think at some county fairs in addition to "longest hair/ponytail contest" there sometimes was a "longest fingernails" contest. For example here Marilyn Pool in this 1976 yearbook proudly shows off her lovely glorious nails :)

Some other nice LNB's from vintage yearbooks:

And back in 1982 (sadly she didn't have them for very long; pardon the pun) the First Lady of Country Music had some incredible nails!

Here Tiffany in her most famous song, if you pay attention is sometimes seen with some good nails:

So while we certainly didn't see very long nails very often, even in the decades past there were some.


Can you post Pictures instead of all those Links?

cause I don't have an account with Classmates or all those Social Media sites.

that you gave as links to go see some long nails from the past. cause the links bring you to a sign up page instead.

so we don't see the pictures at all. Thanks.

The First Lady of Country Music on Austin City Limits in 1983; those nails are incredible; I wish she had kept them...

I love seeing vintage long nails,Im surprised to even see nails like that in life magazine. I wish we had more images and its sad to see them get trimmed but at least she made a cool necklace out of the nails
