Girls' noses. "Girls' nose" would only occur if many girls were sharing the same nose, which is uncommon to say the least.

Feel free to consider inventing Greek words for their nose, then. Sounds like phun. Commented Feb 19, 2014 at 23:16

Nah, I bet it'd be monorhine, and the h would be misspelled more often than not. If it ever caught on, that is. Commented Feb 19, 2014 at 23:29

There was a class project to make a giant sculpture of a head, à la Mt. Rushmore. The students divided into groups to produce portions of the face. The girls’ nose was picked by the judges as the best in the class. Commented Jun 17, 2018 at 6:15
