Meet The Long Nail Goddesses

The Long Nail Goddesses are a group of women who bond over their extremely long nails. According to nail technician, Maria Ortiz, a Long Nail Goddess "was meant to shine, not blend in." Each goddess has her own unique reason as to why she grew out her nails, but underlying each decision is a theme of empowerment. Despite their length, the women's nails don't hinder their day-to-day activities.

They be growing out their nails for years while my nails break in a day

[@mark91345]

I admit that this was much different than I had expected. What I thought would be "crazy people" turned out to be people with a story. Nice people who, for various reasons, felt the need to "shine" (as one person worded it). I very much like that these women had a place to go and belong. I wish our world had more of this .

I like the “queen” lady’s nails, bcuz they look healthy and thick and they aren’t RIDICULOUSLY long and they aren’t all curved and stuff😂

[@kyledilbert6424]

I appreciate their commitment to it, but Jesus Christ is it scary looking.

[@grandemoonlight8208]

I love how they want to be different and fully support it. This is art and beauty. They aren’t ashamed to show it and that’s amazing confidence right there.
