00:18My name is Maria Ortiz. I am 42 years old and I'm a nail tech in New York, New Jersey
00:23and I
00:24love extremely long nails. I have a cruel posse family I consider this a family of 25
00:32plus girls. We're called the long-nail goddesses. It's just like a sisterhood
00:39like we can relate you know what I'm saying when others are against us we're
00:43like one. Actually I know most of them by the nails not the names. They're about as
00:48old as my daughter 26. This now she's turning miss all that. This is Miss Attitude
00:55that's her name. I like this one here I call it the sugar daddy finger. She brings
01:01all the daddies along. If it's not the norm what people say is a norm you know
01:07you're ostracized sometimes. I have a little saying that they laugh at me
01:11because I'm different but I laugh at them because they're all the same. 90% of the
01:14people out there hates it and I love it. That hate gave me a passion for me to
01:21grow them longer.
