There are so many upsides to wearing long nails: being able to give yourself an Orgasmatron-style head massage, elongating stubby fingers, scratching a usually hard to reach itch, but they come with one huge downside, LIFE.

I spent a day in House of Holland’s Royal Explosion talon-style nails and was ready to retire from life approximately 30 seconds in. I couldn’t type, I couldn’t unlock my phone, I couldn’t text, I couldn’t pick up things or do anything, really. How do people do this? Regularly? 

Behold! The 17 times long nails get in the way of life.
