Fingernails, How do you like yours to look?

[user3]

They are my natural nails. I like just a clear coat on my fingernails. I keep them mid-length and square but rounded on the edge.
I like color on other people but I am a plain jane when it comes to my fingernails.

I wear mine biten and nasty cuticles...I'm so horrible at maintaining my nails

I like getting artificial ones, but then one month i don't have enough money to keep them up & so they come off and my real nail looks ugly & I don't like it anymore *lol*

I was like that too!

My cuticles hurt so bad!

Finally one day I got sick of the fake ones, ripped them off

and started babying my nails. Now I don't have to do much. I give them a fresh coat once a week and file them down. As for my cuticles I just apply hand lotion about 3x's a day. It's amazing how easy it is once you get them going!

I love how fake nails look but the $$ to keep them up is crazy.

I can't stand my nails without Gel Tips, I usually get French or Hot Pink.

i used to use clear polish but it always comes off so now it's just nothing... i put color on it once in a blue but it doesnt last very long!

I'm pretty obsessive about mine -- I do "manicures" twice a week. I keep them mid-length and always use nude polish. I've been using Revlon Quicksand for years -- it's not too pink or peach and not so sheer that you need a bazillion coats or gets streaky. But now it's discontinued. Boo.

I stocked up on it but now I'm running low and I'm getting panicky.

Oh that color sounds really nice. I love to wear nudes on toes and I was getting all excited until I got to the sad discontinued part.
I hope find a color like it soon and if you do please share the info

I chew mine really badly and although I'd like to be able to stop, I don't seem to be able to.

I had fake nails for several years but eventually couldn't afford the time to have them re-filled etc, so I had them taken off. Then I chewed my real nails down really low again.

Natural! I love them when they're long, but working in a video store and opening/closing/putting away dvd's all day makes my poor nails chip a lot so I cut them short now. I seldom wear nail polish unless it's on the tips of my nails. I find my nails look more like claws since I have long, slender fingers. ;p

 

[mspixieears]

Usually au naturel for music's sake but I'm not playing at the moment AND in fact, I just painted them with UD Brick Red because I'm having a fab girls' night out with two close female friends.

I do like to have my toenails always painted, but rarely ever do my fingernails.

 

[dreams]

I just LOVE the natural look! I always gow mine naturally and manicure them by putting clear nail paint....(my tips whiten naturally) tee hee

 

[xiahe]

i hate nail polish (i know...

) so my nails are always au naturale.

 

[lovemichelle]

I like natural nails, but I needed a change and started doing the acrylics again on my birthday so over a month ago. My hands just look better this way. Makes my fingers look longer and sleek. My boyfriend likes them too. I thought he was gonna bitch about them. Now I'm his personal back scratcher.

I had fake nails once for my Sweet 16 (wow, almost 10 years ago!!) and kept them on for about a week then bit them off. They ruined my nails for about a year. I would never get them again. I used to paint my nails funky colors every couple days when I was "alternative" in HS, now I don't have the time. I keep mine nicely filed w/o any polish. Now, my toes are another story, I always have polish on my toes. I have a lengthy tattoo on my right foot, and I'm always in Flip Flops so I maintain my tootsies! But, my hands I just keep nicely groomed!

I wish I could wear nailpolish but I put it on and 10 minutes later, it's chipped no matter what I do or don't do. SO I've just given up and had to keep them short and naked. I wish I could have long, hard nails that don't chip but what can you do, right?

 

[Glitziegal]

I have to wear mine short as I type for my job. I like to paint them with Chanel Rouge Noir though. It's a shame it chipped like crazy.

I'm on a quest so I'll let you know what I come up with! So far, I suspect OPI Samoan Sand might be a possible replacement, but I have to see it in person to be sure

 

[dreams]

I ALWAYS end up peeling/picking the nail polish off my fingers like 10 mins after I've put it on.....(I think its my nervous/unconsiousness...) :s

 

[Hikaru-chan]

I wear mine natural, no fake ones, but try to keep some polish on them at all times

 

[BuyMeLipGloss]

i keep mine natural, but i try to always keep them polished, like hikaru. i used to be obsessed with only natural shades, but this season i'm really into deep dark vampy shades and bright cherry reds!
