How do you prefer your nails: long, short or fake?
Beautiful with Brains says: definitely short! As much as I like long nails, they aren’t very practical. Even typing becomes hard when your nails are long! Besides, shorter nails are easier to keep clean.

I keep my nails short. I work (hands-on) with computers, and keeping them long is just asking for them to be chipped and broken!

Shusheshe, it’s a shame nails broke so easily. If one works a lot with their hands, short nails are best.
Le ho portate in tutti i modi.
Cortissime, lunghissime, medie.
E devo dire che mi piacciono medie, perchè mi danno comunque una bella forma alla mano, pur restando comode.
LaDamaBianca, medie è la lunghezza ideale. Sono belle ma pratiche.
Short nails! for practicality…

Vonvon, I agree. They are the most practical.
Short!
Not extremely short, just a liiiiittle bit longer than yours! 
I hate long nails, they freak me out!! Some people grow them out TOO MUCH, yikes!!! :/
I don’t like fake nails either, I think most of them look bad!

Stavroula, I’d love to make my nails grow just that little bit more but they keep breaking if I do.
Too much typing I guess.
I like long nails but if they are too long they freak me out too as well.
as long as they can be without being a nuisance…
(that’s medium – as soon as I start scratching myself when I shower, I trim them!!)
Fuzzyleo, that’s the perfect lenght.
I keep mine really short. I start to get annoyed when they grow out for some reason. And yeah typing is really hard to do when they are long!

Jeni, I like really short nails cos they are so practical. I hate when they grow too much and doing things becomes difficult. And they start breaking too.
my nails used to be cut extra short so I could play piano on the tips
I’ve let them grow out a little bit, but I definitely would not call them long lol. I like my nails to be just a little longer than they currently are

Makeup Morsels, that’s exacly how I like my nails to be lol.
You can play piano? That’s wonderful!
I live them long for some colors but when I use a dark or playful color then I cut the short. I really had them very long about 4 days ago, then I changed my nail color into a grey silver so I had to cut them short.

Tavia, I prefer them short with dark nail polishes colors too.
SHORT!
I’m on the computer a lot for my work and I hate typing with long nails — the sound of it, the feel of the keyboard, yech.
Besidies, I’m really clumsy and I’m always banging my sails on something causing them to rip

Mary, I hate typing with long nails too for the same reasons you mentioned. And if one has fragile nails, they break so easily.
I also vote for short as my nails are very thin and break very easily. Besides, I don’t want to wear nail varnish every day only for the purpose of stabilising them.
Mylanqolia, my nails break easily too and keeping them short is best for me too.
Can’t stand long nails at all….even on another person’s hand, totally freaks me out…seems like they are gonna be broken at any second!!!! on my hands, i prefer all the time clean short nails…when my nail is a bit long, i get easily hang nails…and that bugs me a lot….

Heidi, nails that are too long freak me out too. It’s like they are gonna break really soon and I wonder how people can do the simpliest of things like typing when their nails are really long. Besides, when they are short, they are much easier to clean.
i prefer long nails
they look better with polish too

Xin, I agree that long nails are prettier.
I wish they were more practical though..
I prefer short nails. Nails that are too long or too fake, or both, just look tacky. What really bugs me are those French-tipped acrylic nails with the stark white tips and hard square edge. Aren’t French manicures supposed to look natural? Who are these people trying to fool?! Okay, rant over. Sorry, had to get that out.

Tammy, I agree, those French-tipped acrylic nails are so obviously fake! And don’t look good at all. There are some acrylic/fake nails that look natural, but they’re very few and in any case, natural nails always look better.
