Curious about the opinions of men and woman on how long and colorful fingernails should be.

Men - is it sexy for a woman to have long, red nails or do you like short and natural....or somewhere in between?

Ladies - the manicure industry is huge so what are you having done lately? Any trends that make you crazy or that you love??

    I just trim my nails when they get too long, I am super low keep but I do like the pinterest posts that have galaxy nails and things like that. Would be so neat to wear one day.

    I'm kind of annoyed by the recent trend of painting your left ring finger with sparkles and/or a different color, especially when it's done so people will notice your engagement ring.

    My nails are thin, they break, rip, peel, get dents in them... On rare occasion they grow long enough to paint. Sometimes I get glue ons for my thumb when they are all dented and ripping down the middle.

    II like doing fun things with fingernail paint once n a blue moon. But I don't get manicures. I can soak, lotion, and paint , my own fingernails. I don't have the time to drive and wait for someone else to pant my nails. It feels too personal. I am weird about that stuff.

    I paint my toenails all the time. Fingernails occasionally, I keep them long enough to scratch and that's about it.

    My husband is an astronomy geek. He painted my nails with galaxy themes once. But painted actual real galaxies and comets. It was awesome! (While recovering from surgery last year, I had nice nails for a whole 2 months and made the most of it)

    I keep mine trimmed, I hate long nails. My nails are barely every not painted, I try to keep the color pretty neutral, nudes, pinks, white. I love the accent nail trend, obviously not anything crazy noticeable but 2 colors or a sparkle nail that compliment each other well.

    I keep my nails red, or another color, but they must be short/trimmed. Hate long nails

    I have chewed my nails all my life. This is the year I intend to stop...

    But I will never have fake nails. I tried once and it annoyed the crap out of me. Not only did it interfere with my music (I'm a pianist) but it also interfered with my work (I'm a data entry person, and the nails slowed down my 100 wpm typing time). I tried shorter fake nails and they just irritated me. It was like a constant irritation on top of my real nail that I just wanted to rip off!

    So I did.

    Now I just want to focus on not chewing!

    I'm very low-maint with nails, mine stay relatively short because I type for a living, too-long nails just get in the way :) I throw on some polish sometimes, sometimes not. Whatever I feel like.

    I keep mine trimmed and unpainted. I am constantly cleaning with chemicals, lifting crates and cases of products and catching then on things. It would be a waste (and possible painful) to grow my nails out and paint them.

    I keep mine a little bit long, filed to a nice shape, sometimes I buff them to shining, sometimes I do light pink or clear coat. The few times I've gone to the salon, I've gotten french manicures. I think they're so pretty. Gel nails seem so thick and clunky, I'd get annoyed with them.

    It depends on what you do with them... Not sure I want scars on my back.
