Love that the examples of “not elegant” nail art are some of the most elegant nail art I’ve ever seen

[gateauxgato]

It's laughable to me that red is considered a "natural" nail shade. My nails are only naturally red if I've been cutting beets. ~*So elegant*~

[beansly]

It’s funny that she’s included red as an approved elegant color, because in my Christian high school I was told only prostitutes wear red nail polish

[LilCatandFriends]

I had 5 surgeries in March and my “tacky” Holo Taco nails were the focus of many conversations. The ladies in the recovery ward started coming by to check my nails even if I wasn’t their patient, they went crazy over Party Punch topped with Everything Taco!! I’m 42 and give zero fricks about being elegant, I survived cancer and want to have tacky fun nails!

[ShiningStar]

Yeah I’ve had the discussion with my mangers about how I can’t wear glitter nail polish while working at Disney World because it’s “not professional and is tacky”. Like WHAT?! Princesses are covered in glitter

[osteophagus]

Considering "elegant" seems to often equate to "looking expensive", I'd think long nails with intricate nail art would be the holy grail.

"Don't paint your nails a shade you wouldn't wear a lipstick." Bold of you to assume I wouldn't wear sparkly or neon lipstick.

[yass_]

this is like watching trixie mattel react to girl defined showing how to wear makeup in a god honoring way 💀

[britneynoel]

I would think chipped nails would mean the opposite of being lazy lol. The more you use your hands, the more likely your nail polish is to chip.

[Miranda]

Her official YT description says "Anna Bey is an internationally renowned thought leader and instructor in the feminine self-worth, modern elegance and aspirational lifestyle space." What a pretentious word salad. I'm gonna take a hard pass on anything she has to say, thanks. I get the feeling she's a big ole fake anyway.

[angellaramie]

So basically anything that shows any amount of creativity or personality is “unelegant”

[juhlsghouls]

It’s funny there’s a lot of discourse about how the concepts of “tacky” and bright colors not being “elegant” are rooted in racism and classism. Vibrant, creative, and authentic expression will always be more important than elegance. In my opinion.

[MoonMoonTM]

Can't french manicures technically be considered nail art? Because they're literally having to paint on a design in order to imitate the natural nail. Lol

[honeybee]

Do you know those "professional" pick up artist that try to teach men how to be "real men" online? The woman in the vid legit makes me feel like she's a version of that for women.

[kendrawallace]

Proudly representing the population of holo's here that don't manicure their nails....for whatever reason. But we watch because we love you 😍

[alexandria]

i literally started a flirty thing with someone because i had cute nails that this lady would think are tacky. wear what makes u happy!!

[shego]

I watch quite a few creators that I would describe as “elegant” though certainly not at all in the same way this person probably would: Jessica Kellgren-Fozard, Bernadette Banner, Gunnar Deatherage, CurrieGoat, just to name a few. All of whom have broken most of if not all of these “nail rules” and remained both “elegant” and creative as heck while doing so. I think elegance can absolutely invoke a specific feeling but I honestly can not imagine what the point of it is if you’re not having fun and being creative with it!

[Ecapsora]

Listening to this woman talk about her watchers becoming "fine young ladies" had me flashing back to my stepford wife training. These "rules of elegance" are 100% white, old money etiquette rules that don't apply normal people.
The whole lecture has that finishing school aesthetic of teaching the daughters of wealthy people to fit into "society living", but specifically the ones who are lower level wealthy (with "only" one mansion and 2 yachts or something ridiculous like that) who have to focus on keeping up appearances in a strict social hierarchy. As opposed to those "affluent" ladies who will get whatever kind of nails make them happy cause they're the richest among thier peers and don't have to play by the rules anymore.

[redvinesron]

But what is "natural?" My eyes are blue. That's naturally occurring. Many flowers are yellow, purple, etc. Plants are green and brown. All of those are naturally occurring. Heck, Nemo the fish is orange. He's a clownfish. Fish are naturally occurring also. That lady is insane 😂

[AdennFox]

Straight to nail jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 peelies.

[shabora]

"Never paint ur nails a shade u wouldn't wear as a lipstick"
buddy u think i wouldn't wear a blue lipstick?
