Karla: unnatural feeling, you do them until your body adapts
Sofija: never had fake nails before because she would do a lot of sports, they look like extended fingers.
Elke: just the idea of her having fake nails gives her an icke; she is thinking of the dirt under the nails.

Ania: things that its very phsycological, when she had fake nails she would get more creative with ways on how to handle things
Karla: choped off her nails many times while cooking; stopped getting nails done when she had troubles typing on computer.
