general Long Nails or Short Nails?

[Lunar Echo 10,335]

How do you like your Nails, Long or Short?

 

 

I like my Nails Short but I sometimes get Lazy and just let them grow out like a foxes.

If it were a decision I had to make for a country I'd have to say Short Nails is the way!

Anyway, I look forward to all your Nail related replies.

I prefer to have my fingernails short, but that's mostly because I bite them a lot. I've always felt squeamish with having long fingernails anyway.

I always keep my nails short, it makes it easier to manage for drawing or whatever. Fox mode nails sound cool but I imagine keeping them like that would take some upkeep. Cute fox photo by the way.

Short nails are good for typing but I like long nails for scratching.

Short nails. Long nails feel really weird and I get paranoid about them chipping. I also agree that longer nails are more cumbersome when doing artwork.

Short, but not too short xD <3 <3 

[gyashaa 252]

Short. It makes typing, playing the guitar, exercising-- pretty much any task easier. I could never be a classical guitarist. Or one of those freaky Guinness World Record holders.  Also, I don't like girls with long nails.

I like my nails long and pointy! (I mean my actual nails, I hate those fake claw-like things people glue to their fingers :'3 )

 

But since I sculpt a lot have to keep them short... Long nails tend to mess up my work. :c

I bite my fingernails and since I am constantly typing stuff I cannot grow them out.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,226]

Short nails are best nails, in my opinion. I have never been fond of longer nails both appearance-wise and just in general. It seems overly-cumbersome and what if you break one? Bleh, no. I prefer easy to manage short nails. :3

[SquipyCheetah 449]

I honestly don't really care since as long as my nails are too long or too short, I can live.

[Blackened 512]

Short, forever and always. I find that playing guitar with short nails is a lot more comfortable than with them long; they get in the way of the fretboard otherwise.

[yeet 2,026]

I prefer them short, and in a kitchen environment it is more hygienic to have short nails.

Short nails. Easier to handle things like typing and other activities.

As a classical guitarist, my nails might seem rather odd. I keep all the nails on my left hand short, whereas 4 out of 5 nails on my right hand are "shaped", though not necessarily long. I use various grades of sandpaper to file the nails of my thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers to slopes of varying degrees depending on the angle at which they pluck the strings.

 

They usually never extend more than a millimeter or two past the fingertip, however.

Short. It makes playing the guitar [...] easier. I could never be a classical guitarist.

Short nails. Long is just egh. 

[mars 4,862]

I have short fingernails, but I would love to let them grow out so I can paint them!!
Other nails are better suited as short, hehe.

[Wyzecat 350]

At least moderate length so I can open soda cans <_<

 

But I normally forget and they end up being about a quarter of an centimeter in length before I cut them.

[Troblems 5,616]

Long! For the first time in my life I have long nails (pre-natal vitamins, yo) and so now I wear my nails as long as they'll grow. And they're always painted, too. <3

My friend Jeff calls them talons.

 

 

Right now my nails match my bedroom walls!

My condolences :c

No need to feel bad. I can still play fingerstyle just not with the same volume or tone. I'm more into rock and jazz anyway.

I prefer them a bit longer to be able to scratch my back and help myself with electrical thingy's. However, I clip them regularly. 

[SparklingSquirrels 21,299]

I'm a girl, but I still prefer short nails.

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

I'm a girl, but I prefer short nails because my nails grow too darn fast.

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

I like them short and neatly cut.

[Sugar Cube 4,843]

I like my nails long. Not freakishly long per se, but definitely longer than the average person whose nails are real. Mine are naturally pretty thick and sturdy so I rarely have to worry about them bending or breaking. I actually have grown quite accustomed to them being fairly long and I feel somewhat handicapped when I clip or file them too short.

 

That said, they must get quite long at times, much to the chagrin of my family, who dubs my fingernails "cat claws."
