Nails.

This is coolbert:

"the French manicure features white tips that are accentuated by a natural looking base. Popularized by high fashion and popular celebrities during the last century, it continues to play a role in fashion trends today."

Consider this to be [?] a major news story with a military dimension?

From the Russian Internet media outlet Russian Times.

"As report reveals more US soldiers died from suicide than Covid, US major general complains army won't allow her French manicure"

"US Army Major General Jo Clyborne was ridiculed on social media after she protested that the military would not allow her to wear a French manicure to work."

"Clyborne posted a photo to Twitter which showed her removing her manicure on Thursday evening".

See these Twitter tweets from the distinguished flag officer:

My instantaneous reaction was that the nails perhaps will interfere with her using her personnel weapon in combat. But then what do I know? Inspecting our fingernails was done regularly in basic training for cleanliness. But that over fifty years ago now.

Are any of these tweets the use of contemptuous language as directed against higher military authority? We must mull that one over.

Have you ever done it ze French way?
