Do you have short, long or fake finger nails?

Only my own.......try to keep them a comfortable length, unless going to a special affair.
They grow pretty fast especially around housecleaning time...seems rather odd but they grow when the hands are in water...I guess like flowers..lololol
If one nail breaks, they all get cut...can't stand to have one really short nail and the rest long.......quirky, huh?

Never fake, they look...well, fake. My nails are hard and grow very fast so I clip them frequently. If a special affair is coming up it only takes a month for them to be long. Last month they were very long and I caught the thumbnail trying to open up a lawn chair. After almost passing out I realized it had been bent backwards and was standing up at a 90 degree angle to the nailbed! It took a second to see that I had to bend it down to put it in place. Yow!

Mine are quite long and very strong. I've never used false nails, and I usually wear nail polish (clear or pale pink)
Ive always had longish nails... all the girls I worked with in the rag trade had long nails....if those machine needles were going to hit anything it was our nails and not our fingers ! lol!

I have always said I would give anything but my acrylic nails and my cleaning ladies. I have had acrylic nails for 20 years. I wear bright colors (e.g. reds, pinks); occasionally wear blue on my toes in the summer. My bright nails are for me ... they make me smile and I love them. I'm not giving them up. I'll be the one in the nursing with "shameless hussy red" nails.

Mine are real, not very long but they are very strong. I do not like polish on my nails. My toenails are kept quite short. I like to polish those. My favorite color to use on my toes is blue. Right now I have on a denim lapis (metallic blue).

my nails are my own because i bought them for me. they're long enough to push fabric under the presser foot without breaking. the nails i was born with are soft and bendy and full of ridges (hereditary) and they crack and split. i wear nail polish in whatever is my color of that week. or no color. my hair is dark brown.
that's lady clairol's gift to me. my fortune cookie said that when i can't lift my arms any more, my hair will then be steel grey.
