New Yorker Has Viral Theory About Short Nails: 'Recession'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources.
After years of long, dramatic manicures dominating social media, a new trend is poised to take over: short, neatly kept nails.
Bryce Gruber, a veteran commerce director for major North American publishers shared her behind-the-scenes insight from the beauty industry on TikTok in a video that has gained viral attention.
"Do you know what's going to be trending by the end of the year?" Gruber said in the video that has already racked up over 6 million views since being shared in May. "And I know it for a fact because the ad budgets were already spent and I sat in on a meeting about it last week."
Gruber, 41, from New York, has worked as a commerce editor and director for roughly 20 years, specializing in consumer trends. She revealed that short nails are set to be on-trend this year. "Money is tight for a lot of people right now—people are opting for lower maintenance looks. This, being coupled with the popular 'clean girl' aesthetic has made the short and tidy nails trend a clear, emerging winner for the second half of 2025," she told Newsweek.

Her TikTok explanation went further, revealing an insight she heard from an earlier advertising meeting with a publisher: "Just to give you a heads up, this publisher is one of the biggest in North America and controls a lot of the information that is distributed. I would say women between 25 and 45. If you are between those ages, you definitely read some of these sites, watch some of these TikTok accounts," she said.
"The number one thing that I can see—and let me know if you agree, if you're already seeing it—short nails," she continued. "That like big coffin look that everyone was obsessed with, the like long French manicures that were having a moment like a few months ago. That stuff is done."
Gruber noted the scale of commitment from brands behind the shift: "Every major nail and beauty company, I mean the L'Oréals, the Revlons, all of them, they have already committed massive amounts of ad spend to this sort of short but nicely kept nail trend. You're going to see it everywhere, and honestly, I'm happy about it because it's easier and I can tell you if I can wash my dishes, I can do all the things with reasonable nails."
Industry publications back up her observations. Harper's Bazaar UK recently named "dark, short nails" a standout for 2025, while ELLE Australia earlier reported a "dramatic shift" away from long acrylics toward short, square, or "squoval" shapes.
Meanwhile, social media commenters are interpreting the shift as a sign of the times. "Short nails aka the rise of conservatism and recession indicator," wrote one TikTok user. Another dubbed it: "I can't afford to get my nails done trend." Others praised the practicality: "Short nails are easy to maintain and easy to work with."
Are short nails an indicator of recession?
While this idea of "recession nails" is more of a viral meme than a formal economic measure, it reflects a broader move toward cost-saving beauty habits—similar to trends like "recession brunette" and "recession blonde" which have appeared online.
Historically, beauty choices have sometimes mirrored economic conditions, as seen in the "lipstick index"—a concept introduced by Estée Lauder's former chairman to explain why sales of small luxury items like lipstick rise during downturns.
Currently, fears of a recession are growing again: According to a study by financial data firm FactSet, of the 451 earnings calls conducted by S&P 500 firms between March 15 and May 15, 121 of these mentioned "recession," equivalent to 27 per cent.
These concerns are partly tied to President Donald Trump's trade policies in his second term, with businesses warning of possible lasting damage despite recent tariff rollbacks and temporary pauses.

Matt Vautour: Fenway Franks and Moneyball - What a French sportswriter saw at his first Red Sox game
BOSTON — From his seat high in Fenway Park's right field bleachers, Azad Rosay leaned forward, focused on the action he was only beginning to understand as the ball sailed off Pete Alonso's bat in the top of the first inning. Jarren Duran barehanded the carom off the wall, whirled and threw a strike to David Hamilton at second, who slapped the tag on the runner. Advertisement Azad turned to me, looking excited. 'People said this was going to be boring,' he said. 'There's more going on than I thought there was going to be.' Coming to the park that night, we had related concerns. Azad had never seen a baseball game before. Not even on TV. He'd been warned that the game was going to be slow. I was worried he'd think that baseball was boring. We were both pleasantly surprised. Azad is a part-time basketball blogger and podcaster who lives in France. He writes about the Celtics in English for the CelticsBlog and podcasts about the entire NBA in French for The Dreamcast Show. The growing number of fans in both countries, who are interested in X-and-O breakdowns and analytics, like his work. Advertisement I'd never met him until April 23 when we were eating at the same table in the media room before Game 2 of the Celtics-Magic series. Sportswriters are usually curmudgeons, so his enthusiastic energy and his French accent stood out. A native of Grenoble in the French Alps, Azad was in Massachusetts, staying with relatives to cover the Celtics playoff run. Someone asked him what else he hoped to in Boston while he was here. He said he wanted to go to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, but knew nothing about baseball. 'Since I'm a big sports fan, people said 'you should go watch a game.' The Red Sox are a historic franchise,' he said. 'It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when you come from Europe. You never know when you could be back.' Advertisement I saw an opportunity, too. What would baseball and its unique and complicated rules look like to a sports fan who had never seen it? 'I'll take you to the game if you let me write about it,' I said. Azad liked the idea. We decided to pick a game based on how quickly the Celtics eliminated the Knicks (oops). The Celtics' collapse in six games meant Azad's trip was getting cut short. So with no Game 7 on Monday, May 19, we decided to go to Red Sox-Mets that night instead. You don't have to love baseball to enjoy a late spring night at Fenway Park when the weather is warm and the sun is setting behind third base. Those nights are like sitting at an outdoor bar. Advertisement But May 19 was cloudy, cold and windy, the type of night when the demand for hot chocolate at the Dunkin' under the right field grandstand is much greater than for the helmet sundaes just across the concourse. Baseball would have to sell itself, and that worried me a little. What if he hated it? What if he was bored? What if the popular criticisms of our former national pastime stood out? But as Azad walked up the ramp from the dark tunnel and was greeted by Fenway Park's sea of green, his pace slowed as his eyes surveyed the scene in front of him. He smiled, took out his phone and snapped a picture to capture the moment. Advertisement That was a good sign. I bought two standing room tickets. Anytime the game-time temperature is below 65 degrees, there are lots of open seats. My plan was to bounce around, sitting in different sections so he could see the game and Fenway Park from lots of different angles. If someone showed up for the seats we were sitting in, we'd find new ones. Azad was on board with the plan and we started with two seats in the loge boxes between home and first base during the pregame. The pregame plan was to discover if Azad had picked up anything about baseball in his first 29 years. American ex-pats brought the sport to France before even World War I, but it hasn't caught on. Advertisement I asked some basic questions. Azad knew what a home run was and that the MLB championship was decided by the World Series. He knew there was a pitcher, but wasn't sure who that was. 'I know there are some players who throw balls and some players who use a bat to tap the ball,' he said. 'I know you can do a home run and keep running.' The only current major leaguer he knew was Shohei Ohtani. His knowledge of former players was only slightly larger — Billy Beane, Jason Giambi, Scott Hatteberg and David Ortiz. That list gives away that Azad had seen 'Moneyball.' At first, it seemed odd that he'd intentionally picked a movie about the inner machinations of a sport he knew nothing about. But for a guy who sees basketball, at least partially, through an analytical lens, 'Moneyball' wasn't advanced baseball, but a starting point. Azad not only saw the movie but liked it enough to have watched it several times, including the day before his Fenway trip as preparation. Advertisement From the film, he knew the Red Sox had gone a long time between championships and that when they eventually won, they did so with a team that used their version of Moneyball philosophies. 'Billy Beane ended the curse,' Azad said matter-of-factly, oversimplifying the epilogue text at the end of the movie. We spent part of the pregame in those first base seats and the rest atop the Green Monster for Mets batting practice. Before going up to the right field roof for a beer, the national anthem and the first pitch, we stopped in the bar/museum tucked one flight up behind the right field bleachers. Azad studied the locker replications and then was immediately drawn to the Fenway Park replica in the back. The intricate model that's about 24-by-24 inches around and nine inches high has players on the field, making it perfect for asking baseball questions. Advertisement The game immediately made way more sense to Azad as soon as he realized the batter and pitcher were adversaries. 'I didn't expect that getting on first base would be so difficult,' he said. 'It's not just about a guy sending the ball and another guy trying to hit it with a stick. There's a matchup between the pitcher and the hitter.' Calling the officials 'umpires' was a source of amusement. 'Umpire? That sounds like Star Wars,' he said, chuckling and later referred to the guy calling balls and strikes as 'Darth Vader.' After we each grabbed an obligatory Fenway Frank (he opted for mustard/I'm a barbecue sauce guy) in the big concourse, we took the stairs up to the right field roof and bought beers. Advertisement We spent an inning in the bleachers, one on the right field roof, two in the pavilion boxes next to the press box and the rest of the game in the second row of loge boxes on the third baseline. Azad leaned in and paid attention from the first pitch and reacted when Francisco Lindor hit the game's fifth pitch in the air for a lazy fly out. Alonso's ill-advised attempt to stretch his single to a double came two plays later. The Red Sox scored twice in the bottom of the first. After Duran doubled, Azad, a novice Billy Beane disciple, appreciated Rafael Devers' ability to 'get on base' with a walk. The early action continued as both players moved up on a wild pitch and eventually scored. Azad asked smart questions and caught on quickly. Basketball and 'Moneyball' were the tentpoles for his questions and many of my explanations. Advertisement I explained to Azad that the game's devotion to analytics had evolved from and in some ways away from Beane's core Moneyball principles. Home runs and all the factors that contribute to them (launch angle, exit velocity, etc.) have changed the approach of many hitters. 'Trying for home runs is like shooting a lot of 3-pointers in basketball,' he said. He took new pictures at each new spot, admiring the park. 'It's beautiful. I love that you can see the city and the sky,' he said, motioning toward the Prudential Tower lit up beyond right field. 'There's a vibe that you know you're somewhere special.' Advertisement He was surprised to learn that ballparks didn't have uniform dimensions. 'Home runs are not always the same?' But his appreciation of the evening went beyond the venue. He liked the strategy. 'I like how much power the defense has,' he said, noting that it doesn't really happen in sports where the offense has the ball. He asked about defensive positioning when Trevor Story lined up directly behind second base and then was impressed when a ball was hit right to him. I explained the idea of a double play and why the second baseman and shortstop were playing back in the sixth. He spent the rest of the game looking for them. Advertisement When we moved to our seats off of third base for the final innings, it gave us a great look at the pitcher and batter up close. Azad got into a rhythm of watching the pitch, then looking for the velocity on the scoreboard. He was perplexed at why a camera or a computer didn't determine balls and strikes. 'It surprises me that it is just evaluated by the umpire guy behind the catcher, who says if it's good or not,' he said. 'It's based so much on human decisions.' In the bottom of the eighth, I pointed out Aroldis Chapman warming up in the bullpen and I explained the concept of a closer. 'What a great job,' he said, admiring the nature of a guy whose job it was to come in, shut down the opponent and end a game. 'I close.' Advertisement Chapman did his job, earning the save in the 3-1 win. He loved that the home team doesn't bat in the bottom of the ninth if they're winning. 'It's like a mic drop.' As the traffic-beating fans departed in the eighth, thinning the Monday night crowd, Azad was surprised to see them go. He was in for all nine innings. 'If I was watching on TV, I don't think I would have been hooked, but I can see why people love baseball,' he said. 'Like they said in Moneyball: 'How can you not be romantic about baseball?''

Doyel: Jim Irsay loved his daughters, his Colts and his music. And Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS – They're telling Jim Irsay stories at his funeral service on Monday, and you don't know whether to laugh or cry. In the sanctuary of St. Luke's United Methodist Church, people are doing both. We're laughing to hear about Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, power lifter of weights, being the Irsay family chef on Christmas morning, making omelets. His secret? Feta cheese. And laughing he'd get on the blender and make the best homemade chocolate shake anyone ever had. His secret? French vanilla creamer. Laughing, because when he was a boy in Winnetka, Illinois, he'd get permission to invite a friend — one friend — for a sleepover. As that kid was knocking on the front door, greeting Jim's parents, a handful of others would be sneaking around back and sneaking in through Jim's window. 'Late Night Action,' Irsay called those secret missions. Laughing, because when he became a father he'd sketch out happy little pictures for his girls. Irsay knew he wasn't much of an artist, so he'd include sticky notes on the pictures with arrows pointing out details like: 'This is a mountain!' Laughing, because he watched 'The Big Lebowski' and 'The Martian' so often he had them memorized. Laughing, because he was the same with musical lyrics. No, he was even better with lyrics, and had a knack for coming up with the perfect lyric for any situation. He'd encourage his three daughters — Carlie, Casey and Kalen — to learn the songs of his beloved Beatles like this: When a Beatles song started playing, the first girl to come up with the title and singer got a Tic Tac. Laughing, because so many speakers at the funeral can do a passable imitation of Irsay's slowly crooning voice, including some of his favorite catchphrases: 'Fire up,' he'd say to motivate someone. 'Really? Oh wow,' he'd say when he was told something of great importance, like McDonald's introducing its all-day breakfast menu. Laughing, because the house where he and Meg raised their girls — not far from St. Luke's, where the family walked to services — had an intercom, and you know Jim Irsay. He loved a microphone, didn't he? Any excuse to get on that intercom was sufficient. At the first sign of snow outside, even a single flake, the house filled up with his deep, gravelly, excited voice: 'Girls, no school tomorrow!' Crying, because every story comes with an unspoken afterward. Crying, because he's gone. Doyel obituary: Jim Irsay died and we're less for it; Indianapolis, the Colts, all of us Hey Jude, don't make it bad Take a sad song and make it better Those are the first lyrics from the first song on the Jim Irsay funeral playlist — 'Hey Jude,' by The Beatles — as guests are being seated and family photos are playing across a giant video screen. Here's one of Jim and Peyton Manning at Pebble Beach. Now he's holding the Super Bowl XLI trophy alongside coach Tony Dungy. Here he is, hoisting that same trophy after receiving it from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Pictures with Colts chief operating officer and dear friend of decades, Pete Ward — 'We're like Lennon and McCartney,' Irsay would tell Ward, who'd respond: 'More like Lennon and Ringo' — and John Madden, and Jerry Jones, and George Bush at the White House. Did you know Jim Irsay liked to play kickball? Or wear Rudolph's red nose? Or pull up his sleeves and growl as he compared biceps with his daughters? So many pictures, more than any other kind, of Jim with his favorite people on Earth: his three daughters, and his 10 grandchildren Ten people spoke, all of whom have known Jim for decades, with one admitting they'd been considering this eulogy for 20 years because, as most knew, 'He's had some brushes with death.' We are also told how Jim Irsay took a sad song and made it better, how he befriended players on his dad's Baltimore Colts as a teenager, lifting weights with them, defending them to his alcohol-fueled, rage-filled father and being watched over in return by those 1970s NFL players, 'Because they knew growing up was hell for Jim.' The crowd was the eclectic group you'd expect of a man who befriended rockers and poets and people experiencing homelessness. There were Colts past and present, quarterbacks and kickers, punters and tight ends, more. Every one of the Colts' past 25 years of coaches: Tony Dungy, Jim Caldwell, Chuck Pagano, Frank Reich and Shane Steichen. Every front-office leader too: Bill Polian, Ryan Grigson, Chris Ballard. An eclectic mix that included high-ranking members of IMPD and Pacers executives and a handful of media: local and national, print and television. One speaker introduced himself as having met Irsay 'at a meeting.' He doesn't say what kind of meeting, then invites the crowd to join him in the 'Serenity Prayer' and calls Irsay 'a calming voice offering hope, comfort and support' at meetings. People gravitated toward him afterward, the speaker told the crowd, and Jim stuck around, giving others 'the courage to keep going.' Jim built some clubs that would hold meetings and renovated others — new carpet, nice chairs, like that — so attendees of these meetings would have a place 'where they were could feel like home.' Jim Irsay was an addict, as he talked about freely. Were there occasional headlines? Yes. It happens. The disease is cruel, and it does not discriminate. The Eastern Star Church choir is here to sing two songs, and its first selection is the 1929 hymn 'I'll Fly Away.' It starts like this: Some glad morning when this night is o'er I will fly away I will be free one day Jim Irsay is free now. Just yesterday morning they let us know you were gone… That's the third song on the pre-service playlist, that 1970 piece by James Taylor about life and death, addiction and fame. The crowd that files into the sanctuary walks past pictures of Irsay and his girls, Irsay and his grandkids, Irsay and his dog, a Maltese-Shih Tzu mix named Drake. The casket is near the pastor's pulpit, the lid a strong Colts blue, surrounded by nearly a dozen guitars and more pictures of Irsay and his family and a wreath of flowers shaped into a horseshoe. Another song: 'I am the Walrus' by The Beatles (1967). Another: 'What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye (1971). Another: 'Tired of Being Alone' by Al Green (1971). The songs are telling the story of Jim Irsay, a romantic and an optimist and a dreamer. And a realist who'd tell people, 'It's lonely at the top.' Soon John Mellencamp is playing, but not over the loudspeakers. He's right up there — next to the casket, in front of Irsay's prized drum set once played by The Beatles — having entered the sanctuary through a side door. Irsay was 24 when they met, shortly after the Colts came here from Baltimore in early 1984. Mellencamp was 32, and Irsay called him his 'big brother.' 'He was a dreamer,' Mellencamp says before he plays his first song. 'We all need to be dreamers. And he did that so well.' Mellencamp says he wrote the song he's about to play first, 'Longest Days,' for his mom. 'She lived to be 100,' he says. 'Wish I could say the same for Jimmy.' Then he's playing 'Pink Houses,' and if you're getting chills as you read those words, you're not the only one. All over St. Luke's, people in mourning are tapping their feet. Leather shoes, wing tips, high heels — they're keeping the beat. Irsay would've liked that. And this was a moment that Irsay, who talked about death quite a bit, had discussed with Mellencamp. 'He asked for this song to be played,' Mellencamp says. Doyel in 2014: Discovering Jim Irsay's private side — a heart of gold Doyel in 2022: Scars of Irsay family's mental health issues run deep. They share to heal, help. There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens: A time to be born and a time to die… Those are the first three lines from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, a scripture the family asked Dungy to read. As the nearly two-hour service unfolded, speakers kept describing the misunderstood essence of Jim Irsay in bursts of one or two sentences. No need to identify the speakers; this wasn't a news conference. This was further illumination of this city's biggest champion: 'A proud student of the school of life.' 'I'm going to miss his innocent and loving eccentricities.' 'He loved the Colts, he loved the state, and boy did he love people.' 'He was wonderfully, perfectly imperfect.' 'He'd speak to a homeless person in New York like he'd speak to one of his fellow (NFL) owners.' 'He believed in God, he believed in angels who were looking after him, and he believed that one day those angels would lead him into the arms of God.' 'I wish I could've seen it last week when he met his beloved John Lennon: 'What's up, brother!'' 'If you wanted to get on his bad side, talk down to somebody in the (Colts) building. He hated that.' 'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud Those are the first two lines of 'Shelter in the Storm,' a 1975 song by Bob Dylan, another of Irsay's beloveds. The crowd is treated to audio of Irsay introducing that song at a club in Nashville, before he sings it in a passable rendition — better than that; the man had real talent — of Dylan himself. 'Three, two, one,' Irsay says, warming up before getting started on his introduction. 'Sometimes we can be trapped in this wilderness we call the world here…' Irsay continues in that gravelly smoker's voice of his, and while there is no video, you can hear him speaking around a smile. Then he is singing, and this is the end of the service. Jim Irsay is having the last word at the Jim Irsay funeral, and guests are holding candles as several of Irsay's grandchildren walk from row to row, lighting each candle at the edge of the row, the fire being passed from mourner to mourner until there are 1,000 or more flickering lights while Irsay sings to mourners in what the ceremony program calls a 'message from Jim in heaven.' He was a fascinating man, Jim Irsay, an intellectual who studied the lives of Teddy Roosevelt and George Halas, JFK and MLK. He was the Colts' No. 1 fan, celebrating with family the team's home victories — every one of them, for years — with takeout from Hollyhock Hill restaurant on the northside. He was a girl dad, writing the song 'Lily White' about the joy of watching his babies sleep. A grainy home video of Irsay singing that song played Monday at St. Luke's, with Irsay strumming his guitar and singing over audible conversations all over the room. Someone behind camera keeps giggling as he describes his girls, these future owners of the Indianapolis Colts, in hues of white and pink. He was a romantic, Jim Irsay. A man of music, a man of dreams. 'As we all go on,' Mellencamp had said before walking out the way he came in, 'think of Jimmy from time to time and what he did for this community. And let's hope his dreams come true.' Find IndyStar columnist Gregg Doyel on Threads, or on BlueSky and Twitter at @GreggDoyelStar, or at Subscribe to the free weekly Doyel on Demand newsletter.
