These are really gross unless you are making a ghetto sim or something. But I like how they made a kind of sci-fi design though, so maybe I could use them on a fantasy sim or something.
I live in the ghetto and I am not black. Or ethnic. Just financially challenged and amused by life because being amused is better than worrying about money, safety, hopelessness, finding good food cheap for my kids, what my kids face every single day. So, amused by life.
Occasionally afraid of it, too, though.
Being ghetto can be used to describe a group of people who are classless, loud, xenophobic and poor (like urban rednecks!) or it can describe a group of people who struggle every single day, who survive out of sheer toughness and ingenuity and resourcefulness (like urban rednecks!).
It may or may not have anything do with being black. The unfortunate truth is that more blacks live in serious poverty than whites, and that leads to stereotyping. However, the ghetto was invented for Jews.
So, to me, it's about being an outsider in a bigger world that disdains you and confines and controls you with poverty and social stereotyping.
So you can respond with humor, or with ambition and determination, or with anger and hopelessness. Most people can only manage the third, and me, I have no ambition, so I laugh.
Good lord, that's far too much thinking about some pixel pointy nails. I apologize.
wow my comment got deleted. I am anon #2 who coined the term "ethnic" for these nails. When I said ethnic, I was refering to sims of color, ranging from traditional easterm indians to african americans. Not just "da blacks". The "cut a bitch" remark was OBVIOUSLY internet satire. durr da dur duuuuur
They're like talons!
ReplyDeleteOMG they are like totally perfect for my vampires. When in Rome wipe extra gently.
ReplyDeleteNaughty vamps need love too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE 'em! I want LONGER nails!
ReplyDeleteCorrection to above anon, now my ghetto Sims can cut a bitch!
Where's my lover at?
ReplyDelete"Do the chickens have large talons?"
ReplyDeleteSorry, couldn't resist. ;)

the re-colors are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI would use these for my creepy vampire sims but since they're tsr I won't be downloading...
ReplyDeleteI hate TSR as much as anyone else, but even so, if I really like something, I'll toughen up and download it.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to think about these nails first, though...I'm kind of pissed they aren't for males too. My male vampires would look good with these claws.
If they're like her other nails they'll vanish if you have your sims on anything but the highest level of detail.
ReplyDeleteAnd these remind me of how my ex thought it would be awesome if I filed my nails to a point. o.0
You can re-categorize it for males easily using CTU.
ReplyDeleteBtw, do not enable it for males. It sinks in the thumb.
ReplyDeleteRight here Katsu <333
ReplyDeleteshorter nails pls! i have so much of these long nails.
ReplyDelete^Aikea already made some. Go get those.
ReplyDeleteGreat to claw out other sims eyes with!Let the cat fights ensue.
ReplyDeletePlease Anon #2 and Vinnie Vin Vin, define "ghetto" and "ethnic" in terms of Sims.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious.
Those will put your eye out.
ReplyDeleteI find these a little frightening...
ReplyDelete" "Do the chickens have large talons?"
ReplyDeleteSorry, couldn't resist. ;)"
LOL totally thought the same thing. I love these. They'll be great for my vamps

maybe hoodrat is a better word for these than ghetto
ReplyDeletei agree. i use the term hoodrat. fits the classless crazies perfectly
ReplyDeletealso, could anybody tell me where i can get the fingernails that are long but not pointy?
ReplyDeletewitch nails, perfect for halloween ;)
ReplyDelete@ Anon asking me to define 'ethnic' or 'ghettoh'
ReplyDeleteMy definition of 'ghettoh' is any trashy person. Red, Blue, Green, whatever Sim color they choose to be ;)
~Vinnie Vin Vin
Wow, Gross! Might be good for a hooker. lmao. That would fit in with Late Night anyway.
ReplyDeletewow my comment got deleted. I am anon #2 who coined the term "ethnic" for these nails. When I said ethnic, I was refering to sims of color, ranging from traditional easterm indians to african americans. Not just "da blacks". The "cut a bitch" remark was OBVIOUSLY internet satire. durr da dur duuuuur
ReplyDelete~Anon #2
@ Anon: I knew the cut a bitch was satire, I actually laughed at it! I thought the exact thing, literally when seeing the picture.
ReplyDeleteI WISH SOMEONE MADE SQUARE ONES NOT TRIANGULAR LIKE THAT
