    I like square, gel polish. No fake nails, no designs. I do love the way they look manicured though. I'm a guitar player/musician so I tend to splurge on the gel manicure otherwise it only lasts a day or two.

    My nails only grow long about two to three times a year. I go for natural. Only paint them when I'm happy with the length.All other times, they are kept short and tidy. I don't like having really short painted nails.

    Me too :)

    But, sorry everyone, I have French tip toes and I think they are totes adorbs!

    Approved.

    My wife gets this kind of colour family very often. Many variants of pink.

    The one thing that I have never seen are royal blue and the so called french tip. I think she has a doctorate on what is tacky and what isn't. I hear about it every day.

    Aaaah so many varieties of pink, so many to chose from ! Where does a girl start ? Lol I try to manicure my bf nails, just shape them and tidy them up he lets me...sometimes

    These are my dream nails, manicured tidy neat and functional but anytime I do a little French mani I always end up chipping the tips and it drives me crazy

    I use Gel Polish on my fingers and toes. I have been doing it myself for about 3 years now. My nails underneath are rock hard and super strong and just grow and grow. They used to be so soft and brittle!

    I am not super artistic, and I would love to do more, but I know what I like and my nails make me smile.kg5w741nl5ma.jpg

    I LOVE nails!

    For myself I like natural nails round or square and short. (Bright colors like pink, orange, blue, red and French manicure)

    I change my polish every week sometimes more.
    I cut my cuticles, file and buff them every week.

    But I love long fake nails too if they're not square.
    I love well done nail art too!

    The only thing I don't like are chipped polish and nails that are different lengths.
    If one of my nails breaks, I cut them all down.
    If the polish chips, I change the color or fix it.

    I get my nails done every 3-4 weeks. Acrylic with gel overlay. I love designs and bling.

    Coffin or squoval. Squoval is a cross between a square and oval. And I like neural colors/pinks, red, and French manicures

    I personally find long nails especially fake nails to be unhygenic. I keep mine short with no polish. But then again I'm a chef so there's that.

    Iv walked into a couple of salons and couldn't stand the smell I'm pretty sure that's why the nail technician wears a mask, so they aren't breathing in the toxins

    NAILS NAILS NAILS.
    I used to do my own all the time and loved it but the last while, it's turned into a bit of a chore. SO - I decided to spoil myself with a salon visit these last two times.

    When I did them myself, Rounded square and any and all types of nail polish/nail art.
    The techs have gently coherced me into going for the almond style. I don't mind them short but too long freaks me out a little.

    Here's a few of my faves!

    these are amazing <3

    my nails are natural and not long. :'( and would love crazy long expertly done nailz

    but can't play guitar with long nails and no point in painting them when i'm in turpentine or acetone or some other solvent every day

    Thank you! <3

    Well, they're not that long; they just look way more dramatic and hindering with the shape, but honestly, like everything else, you get used to them (i.e. at 14 I got my first set of nails for a dance; they were short but I still pissed my pants when I had to run to the bathroom because they felt so foreign). My natural nails are very thin (think razor sharp) and are a lot more dangerous than these bad boys. As far as a smartphone, you're right, I'm totally rocking the Night at the Roxbury's paper weight.

    Did someone say acrylic?

    Of course, it is perfectly okay for those poor Asian ladies to inhale those cancerous chemicals and get a ticket to heaven sooner than expected. Worth dying for so that somebody else has beautiful nails.

    You're right. Let's not frequent their shops that they voluntarily established so that they can remain unemployed and homeless.

    We all choose our careers. My manicurist enjoys her job. We chat every time I'm there. There are special exhaust fans built into the stations to eliminate the odors/fumes. She wears a mask and gloves. She's not an indentured servant or slave. She's an American citizen.

    You should be much more concerned about dry cleaners. That *kitten* is toxic as hell and they typically don't air condition because the machines put out so much heat.

    There's always someone....
