Do you prefer long or short fingernails? (www.newsweek.com)

Apparently short nails are a fashion statement now as opposed to a thing that just happens because you work with your hands too much and your thyroid is underactive - uh, I mean they're totally short because I AM A CONFIDENT WOMAN. But I've always envied women with naturally long nails, and enjoy looking at other people's professionally manicured nails.

I often cut short, but if they get long they get long. I'll keep them until they get in the way of practicing or I break them moving a box or something.

This is me too. If they get in the way of speed-typing on the 10-key (numerical keypad) then it's time for a trim. But I also get up to home DIY stuff so I tend to get collateral breakage from projects. Even when I do trim though, i don't go as short as possible. I frequently use them to get at tiny little things, untie knots, etc. I may buff them but I don't see a point in painting them. I do however LOVE to keep polish on my toes. Esp with shimmer or glitter. Green, blue, or purple hues are my favorite.

I'm a fan of gel on fingers myself, the extra durability is nice, and I have a uv lamp to diy. I love a glitter coat though over like a red/black/teal
