Finger nails, toe nails, metal nails, people named Nail and not Neil! How long are yours? Do you paint them? Are you missing any?



I just cut my nails for the first time in years today (we're messing with clay in art, and they're getting in the way), and now I CAN'T TYPE OR OPEN THINGS! My fingers hurt when I type. My nails grow fast, and are hard enough that they don't tear or break often, so they're usually pretty long. I actually have to use my fingers and not my nails to do every day things, and I'm totally at a loss xD

I can never just twist open the caps to water bottles, I always have to use my thumb nail to break the little seals so I can drink it xD

I NEED A PERSON TO OPEN THINGS! DOES ANYONE NEED A JOB?

The nails on my right hand are fairly long for when I play the acoustic guitar. the rest are as short as possible. I don't really like long nails.

I usually like to keep my fingernails short. The funniest part is when people complain about me accidentally scratching them. They tell me I need to cut my nails, but typically my nails are sharpest after I just did.

I have three long nails on each hand. This is pretty good for me 8)

(by long I mean they're about 1/5 a centimeter out from the quick)

Well anyway on topic I keep my nails very short, I cut them every few days. I can't stand feeling them at all.

I usually keep them short, but all are currently long for scratching bishes! I have a French manicure right now, but many of the guys on this forum probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

I'm constantly at war with my nail biting habit. I have a few long-ish nails.

I just had to deal with the same thing since I started doing Tae Kwon Do this semester and my palms did not appreciate the abuse. It probably won't take too long to get used to (though I didn't cut them down enough that they hurt, you may want to cut it down to a safe point and then file the rest next time). I personally found typing to be a bit easier once I got used to it because I didn't have my nails to hit extra keys. And also I get to paint them more since my nails get brittle every time I paint them.

Have fun with the clay and such. And good luck with the short nails.

I paint people named Nail all the time. I also chew my fingernails probably too often. I cut my toe nails when they start dragging on my socks.

My hands are rather bony:D You should see me make a fist, I don't require brass knuckles to make it hurt without too much effort.

I go between bouts of biting my nails and not biting my nails. Currently, it's the former.

My toenails are a different story. They're getting a bit long, I guess it's time I clip them.

My nails are always long. But they break when I'm like, obsessively playing my violin, or if I'm writing a long time, and it really sucks. But like, I love my long nails. My longest one is my left pinkie, which is probably about... two centimeters. (Oh gosh they look so fake~)

The only downfall of it is that when I go to a nail salon, they never want to do anything with my fingers. Period. 'Cause most people like, have no nails, and then I come in, and then they just stare at me and say, "They're so pretty! What are we supossed to do with them?" ...It's really annoying. I kinda stopped going to them after the third time.

And that was really long. I apologize.

I'm embarrassed to say that I know what a French manicure is. I'm probably one of few guys that know that, I guess that's just what happens when the majority of one's friends are girls.

As for my nails, I cut them as soon as they're noticeably longer (read: when I can feel them digging into my palm when I make a fist).

Akaria, you have beautiful hands/nails.

Around here even guys sometimes get their nails done.

My nails are only a little long. Not long enough to get in the way of anything but not short enough so that I can't open bottles and stuff. They break easily and get bloody often when I skate and ride (especially when riding).

I tend to not really pay attention to my nails until it's a bit late and I suddenly they are kinda long.

My nails are short. I have a habit of biting my nails. I do it mostly do it out of boredom or when I'm nervous. I want to stop biting my nails, because they used to be pretty and now they're destroyed. :jess:

I'd defend her but she's probably underaged. Get a job, you hippies!

I tend to forget to cut my nails so they will grow out. I should really be more obsessive about my grooming.

My nails never grow too long, mainly because I pick at them obsessively if I get dirty under them :bigsmile:

My nails are very long as I've never bit them or anything, I think it's gross :p They only ever get so long until they snap, they always snap really far down and I have to pull it off and it's like owwww! but then in a matter of weeks they're back to being really long again.

People say my nails are more like daggers, especially my little fingers, they go huuuge! I'm always scratching myself and other people too xD

I bit my nails when I'm nervous. I've tried to stop but failed terribly. I do paint them though with a nice clear nail varnish. It makes them shiny and helps them grow. :)

I bite my nails when I'm nervous, too. Or when I'm just bored or something.

Mine are always cut short and filed smooth. It bothers me if they are not. I picked up this habit from wrestling for four years. You have to keep them short.

But I am also obsessive about my grooming habits. My nails are always short and smooth. Depending on the length, my hair has certain styles. And I always smell good. Hygiene is very important.

Mine are short because i bite them a lot, but if they get to short my fingers feel so sore.

Hey, me too :o

Anyway, I bite my nails, pretty much always have, so they are short but I like them like that. I hate when they even get a little long it's so weird!

I guess it's not very hygienic but wutever. My friend bites his entire fingers so they bleed and THATS horrible.

18 is underaged?:shifty:

I usually try not to bite my nails because my roommate does it obsessively and it's just obnoxious. I can't help it when I'm really nervous though. It's always either they're short, or super long. I like them inbetween, but whenever they start getting long it's like, "Ooh, let's see how long they can get!":D
