Fingernails, How do you like yours to look?

[Dark_Phoenix]

Mine can't wear acryllics because the pressure from the drills and nails makes my nails bruise and sometimes turn purple.

And that happens anyways so I just have natural nails painted Nightfall or Nocturnelle.

 

[KTB]

Totally natural. I'm lucky though becasue my nails grow well and are really strong by themselves. I hate polish on them though so you'll never see me wearing any

My toes however are almost never nekkid!! Maybe a little in the winter when no one sees them but as soon as I can start going barefoot around the house I start doing my toes

i'm exactly the same. the very occasional red too, if i'm feeling saucy lol. i would loooooove to be able to have natural nails, but since i was young, they have peeled, cracked and just been generally annoying, so i have had fakes for almost 12 years straight lol. in that time though, they have gone from being pretty long to ones that only go about 1/8" past my fingertips or shorter.

Most of the time mine are short and natural, but I paint them a good bit too.

I always keep my toenails painted!

Natrual, filed into a sqoval just shorter than my fingertips. I love natrual long nails, but I keep them short because it's more practical at work.

I usually don't like wearing nailpolish cos at work we have to wear MAC shades and they chip like crazy and i cant be bothered putting on a new coat every day so i try to avoid wearing them. Its a shame because i LOVE OPI colours!

The art of dupe substiution.

I keep my nails slightly shorter than the tip of my finger. I don't like dirt underneath them and it seems to be like a magnet.

I sometimes paint my nails. They're currently in OPI's "Give Me the Moon." I like dark colors, glitter, or pale, translucent colors.

I keep mine short because I do nails and massage a lot during the pedicures. I'm usually off during the beginning of the week, so I polish them using OPI's "Passion".

 

[Nicolah]

Au naturel with a little bit of nail polish.

 

[Krasevayadancer]

I try to get regular manicures every week to keep my nails prettily polished. And i absolutely can't stand the look of bare unpolished toenails. So gross!

 

[Jacq-i]

I got a pink + white solar french manicure two weeks ago, and I love it! I got rounded-square tips so they're not so square-point, and not old lady-round....

They are pricey, but I love having nails that look classy, dressy, casual, well taken care of, pretty, and cute all at once. They go with everything I wear too.

I used to paint my own french manicures, but I was never 100% happy with the smile line, and even if I was, the polish would chip so quickly.

I like to paint my toenails differently every week or so. This week it's Lovin Pink by MAC. ^_^

 

[xiahe]

i just keep mine neatly trimmed with a coat of clear polish on them (usually)...i LOOOOVE painting my toes, tho!

 

[S.S.BlackOrchid]

for now, short length with sheer pink nail polish and black lacy designs. sometimes i do red polish, but i find that it chips easier.

 

[Deena]

I keep mine at a medium lenght, french manicured(all natural).I hardly ever wear any colored polish on them.

 

[SparklingWaves]

I like to wear a soft pinks on my finger nails like Lovin' Pink by M.A.C. On my toes, I like to wear stronger colors like Rocker or Gee Whiz by M.A.C.

If it's a special occasion, I will wear darker colors on my finger nails.

 

[Shimmer]

Short. I don't bother with anything on them, I usually knock it off.

 

[spectrolite]

Short, clean, and neat

I wear polish if I feel like really girling it up but I do a lot of manual labour which just chips it all off anyway so not very often. I hate having long nails and I dislike them on other people too.

 

[thestarsfall]

I keep mine natural and usually forget about them (aside from keeping my hands clean and moisturized) until they start getting in the way or breaking because they get so long...haha..

If they all remain nice and long then I like to paint them pretty colours and stuff...

I love the look of fakes, but I don't wanna deal with the upkeep and the money...

 

[frocher]

Very short and neat.

 

[gypsiebabie]

i wear mine pretty short and try to keep them painted so i don't bite them...right now i'm alternating between lincoln park after dark and my private jet...i'm a little ocd about putting on a clear coat ever couple of hours so my polish is kind of thick and it doesn't chip easily...i wash my hands a lot at work so i use mary kay's emollient night cream every couple of hours...it does wonders!!! =)

 

[LaItaliana]

I wear them fake now. with a tacky but hot design

I just found a girl who is a true artist at designs so im happy.. used to have real, long nails that were always dark red but I got some money & finally got my nails done.

I like the way acrylics look better than long real nails.. To thin looking.... I actually like them to look thick.
