do you prefer keeping your nails long or short?

[SoftFairie]

Short, anytime I let my nails grow out I end up breaking them so I just cut them and keep them short.

 

[BlueSkies]

I'm fine either way, but I keep mine short due to playing my ukulele so often.
I'm pretty new to the ukulele, so I always end up bending or chipping my nails if they're long. :')

I like keeping them medium, not too long, nor too short. It helps with opening food things or water bottle packages since I'm pretty much home alone all week.

I like having longer nails. Cutting my nails short reminds me of the feeling you get when someone scratches a blackboard, so I don't cut them unless I have to.

When I can afford to go the nail salon, I like keeping my nails long and square shaped (and painted of course).

I've kept my nails short all my life for playing the piano and just doing things usually chips away my nail so I keep them short all the time x3

Usually cut them short just when they start to break, but I kinda like long nails. Though my friends used to be scared because I'd have like claws, when i forgot to cut them.. ahehe Short nails seem kinda more...clean to me. I don't know why.

I prefer to keep them very short, I think they're cleaner this way & I don't have to hear my nails click against my phone screen while trying to type.

i like them long, but because of my work i have to cut them.

 

[MishMeesh]

I usually keep my nails short to make it easier to play the guitar or the uke. Even without that factor, if my nails are a couple millimetres past the tip of my finger I will get annoyed and cut them.

I tend to rip mine off so they are usually pretty short.

Depends on what I am mounting on them, I prefer smaller nails if I am just attaching two things together but thicker and longer nails for things that have a lot of weight to them, this way I insure the item will stay fixed in it's position, it's also really important to find a stud to anchor it in properly.

Oh wait, did you mean finger nails? Well I like growing mine out and pointing them into "almond" shapes but they are very thin and so it's hard to keep them all grown out, as soon as I get somewhere where they are all almost matching one of them breaks. =[ I need to start using some thickener on them to keep them stronger and thus longer. My boyfriend hates them long because I accidentally scratch him a lot. XD
