Adventures in self degradation and humiliation

​​​​Let's talk nails!

Say whaaaat? So nails may not be the first thing you think of for degradation play (except maybe some of the sissies out there) but sometimes it's the little things that make differences. I'm all about depth of play. If you wanna incorporate nails into your kink world you have a few choices to make. At the end I'll give a few kink specifics examples.

A decision of length often will come down to functionality. Long nails can be prettier and give you a bigger canvas to work with, but they can also hinder you ability to perform specific tasks and break more easily. Longer nails can provide a different kind of sensation though - say for back and head scratches. Now if you're into being a pretty bimbo then you may not be doing my much heavy lifting in the first place. If you're more into the slave and dungeon vibe hard work can make long nails a futile endeavor. Also for age play DDlg type play having short nails can add a depth to the play.

And then of course there's the choice of long or ridiculously long. Having pretty long nails is different from having 3 inch nails that make even the most basic task a noisy challenge. Not to mention how many people will stop taking you seriously when the see them. They will definitely add another level of helplessness though.

Again, functionality will come into play here. Scrubbing floors for hours? Fake nails will soak off before you're half way done. Going for the bubble head arm candy vibe? Fake it so you don't break it! Real nails can get... Well I don't really know cause I never had them, but longer nails can break (it sounds painful from the sounds people make), Fake nails can be stronger and allow you longer nails. Plus there's sometimes the certain appeal sometimes in fakeness. Fake tits, fake purse, fake tan, fake nails, real fun!

The design is where a lot of the fun comes in right? Of course! The right nail polish can make you feel more professional, girly, or confident. Nothing caps off a bimbo outfit like perfectly groomed long brightly colored nails. Going for the trashy slag look? Go longer and neon or red. Age play? Think of the treat it was when you were young and you got a grown up "manicure" with clear or pastel polish. Don't forget options like uber glitter , designs and stickers, and even lettering. Let anyone close enough to read know exactly what you are by spelling it on your nails: whore, slut, bitch, cheap, etc.

Age play/ DDlg

So again here, short and natural may be a good choice with painted and fake nails being a reward for good behavior. Also press ons and decorative nail stickers can be lots of fun for this category.

Bimbo

I mean, nails are just part of the personal grooming package. Lots of bright colors, glitter, long is good, fake is fine, spell out sexy things on your nails (or maybe leave the spelling to the professionals and have someone do it for you)

Pet play

So two things mainly come to mind here. First is shaped nails, specifically pointed. These can give you the feeling of having claws for all you bitches, puppy girls, and cat girls. The second thing is the pampered pet theme can include a grooming package as soon well, including nails.

Slave

So this is really the biggest degradation example I can think for women that's nail specific. It's kind of like a reverse Cinderella effect where you do your nails up pretty or get a manicure then before you can even show them off you go to work scrubbing or digging in the garden, something hand intensive and menial and watch your pretty treat chip and fade and fall off right before your eyes.

Sissy/Feminization

Again, I tend to focus on women, but the simple application of nail polish can be an embarrassing thing for men, even clear coat or buffing nails can have that effect, but pink? It can have a huge effect.

Anti-feminist/Patriarchy

Bit of a grey area here but I think of it as either the higher you are the harder the fall including a power manicure into a power position that you fall from OR from natural no polish to extra long super girly nails that make things like typing and reading hard but I bet are great for back scratches and gently sliding along hard cocks.

Dom/sub play

If you're more into being the female on the top on D/s play consider medium to long nails for sensation play and power colors for polish. Go bold with whatever color makes you feel powerful.

Role play

Consider nails as part of any costume or outfit choices you make. From slutty secretaries with manicures to naughty school girls who need something to help stop biting her nails, have fun with it!
