How much do you care about your finger nails? Do you give your self a manicure? Do you put on nail polish?
I give myself a lot of manicures. I file my nails probably every second day. I apply my nail polish about twice a week. I like light pink colors, not the red, dark colors. I think a woman's hands tell how much she cares about herself and her appearance. It takes a lot of work to keep your hands and nails nice and manicured. Do you let your nails grow long? Mine are fairly long but not too long. I don't like them too long because they just break anyways and then I have to start all over with growing them again. So I keep my about mid way.

I also do my manicure often, whenever time permits. At other times I just massage my hands after my chores. I maintain my hands like that. May be once in two three months I get my manicure and pedicure done by others.
I never paint my hand nails, I don't like to but Toe nails I paint regularly.

I put on nail polish usually every week or two. I always have nail polish on because I've gotten so used to seeing it on my nails that when I don't, they look odd and naked. I don't usually like my nails long, but sometimes I'd let them grow out a bit so they look better with a French manicure.

I take care of my nails, but I rarely paint them anymore. When I was younger, I painted them all sorts of colors. Now, it's no big deal to me. I used to wear really wacky colors too. Blues, yellows. Now, I wear it whenever I feel like it, but it's pretty rare that I do. I just keep my nails trimed, and as smooth as possible.

I don't really wear coloured nail varnish, and my nails are currently in terrible shape - you'd think, for someone who took a beauty therapy course, I'd know how to do a decent manicure, but I was sick the week they taught manicuring - I'd love to go to a proper nail bar, but I can never find a decent one, they all either look like they manicure rats, or they cost so much that I'm left staring at the price list in utter dismay.

Hi chrislotz! I am the one who clean and manicure my nails regularly but I only use light colors as nail polish, usually i wear platinum color. I do have it professionally done once a month or when i am going to a party. I wear my nails just short but not too short. Take care and have a nice day. :)

I take really good care of my hands and feet. I give myself a manicure and pedicure at least once a week. Sometimes every two weeks if it comes to that. lol Im not so faithful with it.
I leave mine long, but not too long. Like you said, they get too long they break and then you have to cut the rest of them off and start all over again.
Hubby told me that my hands and nails were something he noticed about me and it made him more attracted to me. I get compliments on my nails all the time, and sometimes I have to argue with people that they are NOT fakes ones from the salon! I have to go as far as to turn my hands over and show them there are no tips there! LOL
I just did mine the other night and I put a nice light mauvy purple color on just the tips, like a French manicure just not the white. It looks really pretty! Hubby will get almost upset if I cut them off, but he dont like when I use them on him! LOL
The pic is sort of blurry, sorry!

I like to take care of my nails naturally. I don't wear nail polish too often, sometimes just clear or maybe a bright red color.
