Pad Patter: long or short?

Short stubby fingers & nails to match. They're too think & brittle as well so I rarely paint them.

 

My nails grow nicely, but I can't keep the paint from chipping, so I never paint. I do get pedicures though.

 

I never paint my fingernails. I hate the smell of the polish, and can't stand the way polish feels on my fingernails-- like they are weighted down or something. They don't grow very long anyway, so it is no big loss.
I have to keep my toenails painted though-- go for pedicures as often as possible to keep them looking nice.

 

My nails are usually medium to long. They grow very quickly and are pretty strong. I almost always have polish on them, too. I am kind of addicted to nail polish. I have a whole rack in the bathroom, like you would see at a nail salon, full of polish. Drives DH crazy when I buy new polish because he can't fathom how there could be a color that I don't already have!

 

Can't stand nail polish on my fingernails. The feel and colors are distracting, and I keep them short because a) they're brittle and chip/crack easily and b) I used to be a nail biter, and the only way to keep me from them was to have them clipped short all the time.

My daughter, however? Loves getting her nails done. She finally had to stop getting acrylics because her nails got too thin. I'm sure once they grow out, she'll be back at it.

 

Could of written this word for word. I actually cant remember the last time they were painted tbh.

 

I was a biter throughout my childhood, managed to stop now but I do tend to break them reasonably often... I like to paint them, I try to keep them all the same length-ish, just a little longer than the ends of my fingers otherwise they're a nuisance! I've got dark blue-turquoise on them at the moment which I like.

I had gel nails done earlier this year, obviously didn't agree with my nails as they've been crazy brittle, thin and stained ever since. The rubbish bit has *finally* grown out now so they're actually beyond the end of the fingers without bending, yay! Won't be doing that again - but I wish I was better at painting them, I always make such a mess!
