long or short fingernails

Your habit is quite hygenic and good from health point of view, but few who take it as beauty part then who cares the hygine my friend? In my opinion nail growing is an animal instinct. NOTE: If cut your nails on tuesdays and on sundays then you will have a great money luck. Try it what is the harm?

I am a guy so naturally I keep short fingernails. And since I don't play guitar, there is really no need to keep them long. I don't go for those manicures..

As a kid I always had really long fingernails. They looked great. As I got older I was introduced to the computer. There went my nails. They are really hard so they don't chip at all. The only thing is they got in the way of my typing. I did a lot of data entry when I was working so I had no choice but to cut them. Now they stay quite short.

I do a lot of the chores at home and so I find it easier and more practical to keep my nails short and clean. Mom always had short nails and they still looked nice when she painted them and stuff. My sister on the other hand has long nails. I guess part of that is because of her job as a receptionist. She has to make sure she looks good I guess. My aunt had ridiculously long nails. I remember once she couldn't even pick up a pen to write her name in a card properly and I swore right there and then that I'd never be like that. For some women, I feel it's vanity, not all of them, but it irritates the HECK out of me when they start whining because they broke a nail.

I always keep my nails short & clear.I really don't like long nails or dirty nails.Also I do my house work so keeping it short is really needed.Also managing nils is easy when they are short.I once kept long nails but taking care of it is really difficult & i broke my nails.From then on i necer keep nails very long.

i prefer short fingernails... easy to work with anything. i don't hurt myself with a long finger.. more hygiene coz i take my meal using hand a lot more compared using fork and spoon.. manicure... no.

i do almost all household chores at home. and so, i prefer my fingernails to be cut short all the time. when it grows a little longer, i alraedy trim it down. i find it more comfortable to have when doing chores. and nope, i don't have it manicured. i just make sure it is clean all the time.

i have very short fingernails. i play the piano, so i always make sure that my nails are short so they don't make scratch marks on the keys. but making sure that they are short isn't a problem to me cause i'm a nailbiter, lol!

when im still single i like my nails to be long..but when i got married it is not possible anymore to make it long since i could scratch my son accidentally if i have long nails..and until now it is short but maicured at least once a month

Definitely short fingernails. I have this mannerism that whenever I get bored or nervous I bite my fingernails. So in order to avoid this, I always cut my nails. And it also looks neater and cleaner. Long nails can cut. I mean sometimes if you are in a physical activity, there's a chance that you broke your nail or you scratch other people or even yourself.

Before I like my nails long and I always manicure it so it will look clean and nice. But after I started wearing contact lenses, I have to cut it short because I find it difficult to wear my contact lenses with long nails. I just had a lasik operation for my eyes so I don’t have to wear contact lenses but I still preferred to cut it short because now that I have a 15 month old daughter, I wanted to make sure that I can never harm her in any way because of my long finger nails.

Although I think that nice long nails can make your hands look pretty sometimes, I prefer the clean short look for my everyday. It works better when I'm typing, it doesn't snag on things and it's easier to clean. If I am going somewhere and I feel that I will like to present long nails I can always let mine grow up a bit or something, but after I will cut them again.

I agree with you .i also don't like long nail ,long nail is not easy to clean, dirty thing always stay in it .everyone should clean and cut your nail often to keep your nail clean.

before i like long nails but the time i broke my nails because of washing my clothes .. ive never want again to have a long nails ... after that incident i always using fake long nails with assorted colors. yah i like pampering my nails i always go to parlor twice a month

i have short ones, keep them trimmed and neat, i have to have them short, cause i am in the medical field and its not good to keep them long, seeing on how they trap germs and bacteria under them.

I keep fingernails short. It is comfortable to do things when you have short fingernails and I don't think short nails effect the look of my finger nails. I don't go for manicure. I take care of my fingers at home.

I have short nails, its better, you can actually do things where as if you had these long cumbersomb things on the ends of your fingers, how would you be able to do many things.

I prefer to wear my nails short.It sure is cleaner to look at... and no dirt goes inside. :P

I always had short nails, it easy to manage. There are quite a few times that i tried having long (not that long) and polished nails, it feels kinda odd. My fingers felt heavier than usual (i guess from the polish). These days, i just cut it short.

yeah i prefer short nails, because short nails are neat to look at. but it also depends on the person, you can have long but clean nails. My mom said that it is on the person's nails you can see his/her cleanliness so i make sure my nails ar clean!
