Well my name is Teonjinae and i wear nails and im 14 years old i think her nails are cute but a lil 2 long but if she can work with them then thats find but i keep mine low not to low but not that long....but i do give it to her there cute

I think that is very tacky. So come on ladies lets get rid of those long nails okay.

I like her new nail.They look really professional.I also wanted to know where can I buy the Sally Hanson nail polish collection that the black fashion designer is creating?I beleive one of the colors is a nude.I have not been able to find it in stores!

Uhh, from a male perspective, I don't really care how long or short a chick's nails are as long as they're clean...though long nails are kind of like a lower back tattoo in the way that if I'm really horny, I know who to speak to first. Hope this helps!

I THINK THAT THOSE SHORT NAILS LOOK GREAT ON HER ALSO THE COLOR FOR A WOMEN HER AGE THE NAILS BEFORE ARE SORTA THE NEW AGE.BUT THE NEW LOOK REALLY TAKES THE CAKE FOR ME THOUGH.

HEY

I USED TO HAVE LONG NAILS AND ITS SO TRUE THAT THE NEW THING IN IS SHORT AND DARK... I LOVE YOUR SHOW

HELLO!
I am a culinary student at the Art Institute of Atlanta and it is required that our nails be SHORT(as in if you are facing your palms, you can't see any nail appearing over the finger.) for sanitation reasons. I hate it because I prefer my nails a little longer but I can't do anything about it. I don't want to be stereotypical, but I've noticed most elderly women flaunt the wickedly long nails. weeeeiiiirrrrdddd

Tyra,

I have to record your shows because it's on when I am work, so I watches it at weekends.
I could not beleive some one caring for patients/elderly with that kind of nails. That is disgusting and you ask her the perfect question. I personally think with those nails there would not be good hygiene. Good luck on your show, you are doing a wonderful job.

I was surprised her job allowed her to wear her nails so long it could have been dangerous to her and others, do the words accident & cleanliness mean anything!?! Also, you didn't twist her arm to do her nails, she could have said "no."

wow that is amasing i am such a big fan i wath your show when i can but realy nice job on the neals and yes i do mean both shows!!!!!

i was an nurses aide for 5 years before becoming a nurse,having those long nails was definitely not hygienic doing patient care,the gloves do not fit properly, some women with those long nails work without them!you know, changing depends, wiping poop! also her hands look 10 years younger without thos getto fauxfabulous nails.

Short nails rocks! XD
TYRA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Tyra you should have given me something, like the audience received you didn't give the guess anything I didn't like the short nails thats my choice my nails was very real you made people think my nails was fake I didn't appreciate it.

This is Theresa that was on the Tyra Banks show My nails was not acrylic they as very real as your face where I work I can wear my nails however I wish and I am cleaner than you all just because you have long nails does not mean you are nasty jealousy don't help either Thanks

i love the nails short.. i had grown my nails about the length in the before shot and cut them recently and now they look amazing with a coat of clear nail varnish...i am 13 and live in Australia and tyra is such an inspiration to me!!:)

Hey Tyra
Wow those nails look better. I was looking through your site and you said you have really rouugh hands. Have you ever tried using a really think cream or vaseline and then putting tight cotton gloves on them overnight. You wake and and your hands are alot softer.

Thank-you so much for correcting her nails!!!! I know you and Zoe thought it to be a cosmetic change for the better,but it's really hazardious to her patients to have her work with long nails, especially fake with real under it. Fungus and e-coli and many other micro bugs live under there. Babies have died from fake nail waring nurses as their immune systems cann't tolerate micro bugs.

Hey tyra, i wanna tell u something, i think ur great so i want to discuss this double standard among celebrities like u and "nobodies" like me.
I have a weird sense of humor, i laugh alot, i blink alot, & sumtimes my weight can go up and down, although overall im pretty, which sounds to me a bit like u. (in a good way.) But alot of people throughout my entire life had made fun of me for some of the things i mentioned, and sometimes i proudly respond "so what?" or even sometimes i say "even tyra banks does that" (i hope thats ok :)) & they say, "well yeah thats her shes a beautiful model, but ur just a __ (insert insult)" I guess having flaws is okay if ur famous and beautiful, but not for people like moi? :(

Hey Tyra...

The shorter nails are SO much better...... :)
I think just a bit of a free-edge that is squared off is so trendy and neat looking.....The long acrylic nails gotta go!!!!
If your going to wear acrylic nails, keep them a sporty length....
Thanks for listening...

Love ya' Trya...Your my favorite and I would LOVE to meet you one day....That would be a dream come true....

HI, I saw all the comment but no one have what I have in my mind so I go for it.The quetion you asked the lady was in my mind when I saw her nails:how do she use the bathroom?whay didn't you let her answer it?or do you think its rude or something?
sometime I feel like you read mind and speak and it happpen a lot.
keep it up,I love you.

I Love her nails short!!!

the nails was sexy. more power to you tyra.

Did a great job as usual and loved the show. My husband actually watched it with me. Cutting the nails was a great idea #1: When you work with the elderly as a CNA you should not have nails like that anyway, It's very unprofesionable and you could poke someone's eye out with those claws. The new red nails were much better looking and also more cleaner looking underneath where all the bacteria hides. Thanks Tyra!!!

It was a major change in her overall look. I enjoy the simple yet fun red nail polish, along with the cut of her nails.

I liked the long nails, but the short ones are cuite too. :) Love ya tyra!!

i think her nails before are sexy but not her wrinkly hand....the short nails make her look her age......her nails before are for lady's in their 20 or younger but you should not have your nails looking like thats when your 50.

I have to admit, I love the long curve cali nails. And have worn them just as long as this lady has. Yes, I am constantly cleaning underneath them so that they don't look gross. But, her nails was a HOT mess...too busy. Can't see them being good for the job she has.

Thank You so much for finally showing woman how to wear their nails. I cut my nails all the way down an wear clear nail polish and they look so nice. Tyra you should have someone take the A train from uptown all the way to Far Rockaway and I bet you could find about 100 woment who could use a good dragon nail makeover!

I will admit that the long nails were making her hands look old. The new look brings 20 years off and more aesthetically pleasing. If i were to meet her on the street, her hands would look better with short nails.

Love her natural looking nails, the acrylics are so yesterday, its all about being natural. Speaking of all natural, Zoe is way too skinny, give that girl a real meal, and make sure she keeps it down. :-)

The after nails are much more appropriate for her work. I work in the body art business, so i need to take care of how i look, and I had just come back from the manicurist to see this segment! I have natural nails, and the pinky nails were both really long, naturally, and he told me they would look better trimmed and all the same length. So now they are trimmed, and it hurt so much to see him cut off about a quarter inch of nail I had babied to grow that long. But now they look great...and I did a french manicure too, so they are very natural, but still quite attractive, and they do look better shorter.

I like the short nails too. I agree that she was SUCH a trooper to have those taken off. They were something she had had for a very long time and she went for it. I have natural, fairly long, nails but even so when I get a manicure the fun lengths and colors are tempting. I'm trying to get a job at a hospital and that is one of the first things they told me was that I had to have short nails, and even the polish shouldn't be chipped.

i kind of like the old look better but i do understand the more conservative look for her profession. they could have given her another color. something a little softer. i would not want someone caring for me with red nails,but thats only my opinion.

I honestly would like to say, that this lady was a too soilder, when it came to removing her NAILS! I'm only 20 and I had gel nails on for about 6 years and I absolutely love them, I recently took them off to relax my nails, as well as for an educational purpose! MY COMPUTER COURSE. Now I can type alot faster. I just wanted to say that I was never brave enough to do it until I new that in the fashion world fake is OUT! I think her nails look BRILLIANT and Chic, good job TYRA GERRUUU!

For a woman her age, she should know better, then again not everyone is born with class. Her nails look so much better short.

Very age appropriate, Looks way better and CLEAN !!

I am so happy that you cut those nails! Underneath looked dirty, and being a nurses aid, the germs that were caught under there... I can only imagine! I know Tyra is too nice to say it, but when the nail lady said everyone loves it, it isn't that people think it looks good, they think it is weird, and people like to look at weird things. That is why we have so many Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museums.

GIRL YOUR NAIL ARE CHEETAH LICOUS.

it shouldnt take long to get used to these nails! they look great!

I occasionally wear acrylic, and active length nails look professional and sexy. A person can do everything with nails that length.

TYRA,WE LOVE U DEARLY.I JUST WANT 2 SAY I LIKE LONG NAILS WHEN THEY R NATURAL AND WELL KEEP.THEY R AN ATTENTION GETTER 4 SO MANY PEOPLE SAY MINE R BEAUTIFUL.I DON'T DO ALL THE DESIGNS JUST A BASIC COLOR.I LIKE SHORT NAILS 4 THEY R MORE SEXY AND MORE MANAGABLE.YOU ASKE THE QUESTION EVERYONE WANTS 2 KNOW.HOW DO U MANAGE WHEN U GO 2 THE RESTROOM AND COOK.

HELLO TYRA! {: I LOVE UR SHOW AND MY BOYFRIEND DOES TOO. WE SEE IT EVERYDAY. ANYWAYS I'VE ALWAYS HAD NAILS,TRIED EVERYTHING AS DESIGNS,COLORS AND NOW THERE REGULAR. SO 15 YEARS I'VE THINK I SHOULD CHANGE MY LOOK.MY 4 PRETTY GIRL'S,THEY LOVE MY LONG NAILS,BUT TIME TO CHANGE. ~LOvE YoU tYrA~

Tyra,
I am hooked on your show. I try to watch it everyday. You are so real and I think that is so refreshing. I was wondering why your show moved to New York and why your hair style stays the same everyday now. I think it looks great but it was fun to see what you where going to do next.

The after shot looks alot better. I use to wear acrylic nails and the damanged my nails so bad I have ridges on them now. I would never do that again, and tell the younger women about it every chance I get.

as i examined her nails i though i was doing a horible job of mine tyra is it bad to chew your nails? and how can i stop.

I think short manicured nails look nice and clean. Long fake nails with designs and horrible nail color is just a way women ask for attention.

Tyra first of all i love you’re show and I love Americas top model to you are my role model and you look amazing but any way my comment is that I love nails I’ve had mine dun since I was 13 or 14 and I’ve had every thing the coolest thing is air brush I use to get play boy bunny’s air brushed on my nails I’ve had it all I like to be unique but still keep it style”n and sexy that is what’s the coolest of all

tyra first of all i love youre show and i love americas top model to you are my role model and you look amazing but any way my comment is that i love nails ive had mine dun since i was 13 or 14 and ive had every thing the coolest thing is air brush i use to get play boy bunnys air brushed on my nails ive had it all i like to be unique but still keep it stylen and sexy thats whats the coolest of all

Yes, the after picture looks much better and professional as well. I believe when you are working in a public place, you need to represent. I used to wear nails, but I always kept them looking nice and average. Thanks Tyra, I love your show. Just a little note: I always know and tell others that Tyra's pet peaves are "bootie and weave. And every show you will hear use one or both of these words. Thanks for making availble the comments section.

It's ridiculous to have your nails done all the time. Once a month is okay but come on now everyday...i kno sumone who gets em done all the that is nasty..isnt that bad for your nails..

Oh, so much better! Although, I tend to wear my nails (natural) a bit longer because I feel they help to elongate my short fingers.

I must say her nails look alot better now. her nails before looked really creepy.

Nurses aid? I am an aid,,I wouldnt want to wipe someones butt with those nails or be the one getting thier butt wiped!

How in the world did Theresa work with those nails?The after photo is much better..I also aggre with Zoe on the amazing transformation.Looks Great!

I looove the after photo, the change is incredible!

I agree with the professional, Zoe. I used to wear the long, fake nails for more than 6 years. And I took them off, and it felt sooo refreshing. And I have had them back on for I dont know how long ago. Short, stylish, pretty, healthy nails are deffinately in. But c'mon, we know the world wont change for those :) Thanks Zoe !!

Oh my gosh her nails on the before picture looked so crazy and on the after picture they looked so good.I think that nice and simple is pretty and is the way to go.I don't usually like long nails, i think short nails are pretty ,then again its my oppinion.

hi tyra do u have any info in the transexual model biko

I think nails are nice to have if you keep them up. I personally don't do nails anymore, but the long curved nails are soooo 90's. When I see those types of nails on ladies I can instantly tell that they have no style. The trend now is short natural nails. I believe that fashion is coming to a time were people are getting fed up with fake things.

Okay well let me say that the ghetto nails are so over!! lol I know that nails make your hands look way better but really do we need all the blinding neon colors please. Nice and simple is the key I believe.

FIRST OF ALL I LOVE WITH A CAPITAL L. ACRYLIC NAILS I AM 22 AND I HAVE BEEN WEARING THEM SINCE I WAS 13. I ALSO LOVE NAIL ART. NAILS ARE AN EXPRESSION OF A PERSON'S PERSONALITY. I DONT DO THE LONG CURVE NAILS BUT I DO LIKE THE ACTIVE LENGTH. NAILS MAKE YOUR HANDS LOOK BETTER
