接着随时间变得越来越长…

现在则是这个样子!

「我开始留长手指甲,是因为我迷上了美甲。」她表示。

「我也是关·史蒂芬妮 (Gwen Stefani) 和拉娜·德芮 (Lana del Rey) 的粉丝。她们启发了我,因为两人都有非常美的长指甲。」

如果要卸下指甲油的话,需要花1个半小时,而涂指甲油则需要3个小时。
!['I usually do my nails on the weekend. I remove the nail polish on Saturday and paint them on Sunday.'](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/58f03c37c147e.png)
「我通常会在周末美甲,每两个星期一次。我会在礼拜六卸下指甲油,然后在礼拜天涂上去。我没有很常美甲因为太花时间了,我也很懒。但指甲从来没有碎开,因为我很小心地对待它,会用品质好的指甲油。」
!['I don't do them more often because it's too time-consuming and I get lazy. But the nail polish never chips because I'm always very careful with my nails and a use a good base and top coat.'](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/58f03c393c225.png)
过去,为了让指甲更坚韧,她更会服食生物素药丸。

「很多人认为有长指甲的话去厕所、化妆跟用手机打字会变得很困难,但事实上这些都不是问题,反而取出硬币跟拿信用卡比较难。」
!['Many people think that going to the bathroom, doing my makeup, or typing on my phone is difficult, but surprisingly, it's no problem at all. Picking up coins or credit cards is kind of tricky though.'](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/58f03c3d05800.png)
当然,她也发生过一些小意外,试过不小心抓伤别人。
!['I have scratched some people by mistake, but no serious injuries.'](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/58f03c3f4e46e.png)
「指甲越长,我就越喜欢。很多人都称赞我,让我觉得很高兴。」
!['The longer they got, the more I liked them. Many people complimented me and it made me so happy. Over time, they became a part of me and my identity, so it became more and more difficult to cut them. I guess you could say I'm addicted to growing my nails.'](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/58f03c412b32e.png)
「它成为了我的一部份,我的特质。」
![](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/58f03c42f08d7.png)
对于批评她的人,她表示只要不是没礼貌或冒犯她的话,她就可以接受。「与别人不同是好的,因为如果所有人看起来都一样的话,这个世界就会变得很没趣。」
!['I can completely understand that some people don't like my nails, and it's also fine for them to share their opinion about them with me, but please don't insult me or be rude to me. It's OK to look different because the world would be a very sad place if everyone looked the same.'](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/58f03c44d49ed.png)
