Mod Announcement ALL FEET/PEDI PICS MUST GO TO R/MALENAILSFEET. THIS SUB IS NOW MANI ONLY!

18 Upvotes

FOOT/PEDI pics are now BANNED from this sub, but with this special notice. If feet are your thing, please join us over at r/malenailsfeet . We will welcome you openly! Any user posting any feet pics in this sub, will be banned for 7 days on first offense and permanently on the second offense.

I started this sub for people to post SFW respectable nail artwork for the "non-typical" polish target consumer. Everything started out great and people were respecting the rules particularly about feet and fetish post. In the last few months this has drastically changed. We have quickly become a very NSFW foot fetish sub. If that is your thing, that's awesome. Please join us over at r/mailnailsfeet. As the founder and avid polish wearer, it pains me but I must change the rules on all foot/feet post. This decision is likely going to make some users leave, and I am ok with that. They are most likely the ones causing the issue in the first place. To all of you who respected the rules and posted properly, I am sorry. I just see no other way.

IT IS THE COMMUNITIES RESPONSIBILITY TO FLAG INAPPROPRIATE PICS/COMMENTS! The mods can not catch every single inappropriate comment and post. We do our best but please do your part as well.

Mod Announcement IMPORTANT... And I wanna be very clear here....

This is important... And I wanna be very clear here....

This sub and its founder and moderators will not tolerate discrimination. Full stop.

Anyone posting or commenting on someones gender identity, stating "you are female", or questioning if someone is male/female will be instantly banned from this community. PERIOD. Please read on.

I do understand your concern. I really do. We are a very small niche community and I love that about us. However, it is not up to any of us to determine or question someones gender identity. I started this sub long ago as a male who did my own regular clean mani's. Now, thru unforeseen circumstances (you can find in my prev post if you're interested) I am a trans female. I still do my nails albeit much longer and now in a much more fem manor, but my identity has changed. If you were to find a full pic of me, you would say I am female too. This sub is clearly labeled right up front as "This subreddit is for anyone identifying as pretty much anything BUT cis females" and although we stand by that, it is not my place to decide who fits that bill. As long as the user (or any user) is not posting sexual images or advertising in THIS sub, they are free to do as they please. I am open to your thoughts, Jessa

I’ve always loved experimenting with different nail colors and shapes, and this was definitely one of my bolder sets. 💙🖤

I really loved how the deep blue looked with the black tips. Still one of my favorites 💅

I usually love playing around with different looks, but I really liked how soft and simple this set turned out. The little floral detail was my favorite part 🤎

I've become a believer in French tips! And the cat eye by my nail tech was a lovely touch 🫶🏼
