No, not really. I don't get mine done because I don't trust the manicurists not to give me some horrible infection. I just keep them short with pale polish (so chips aren't immediately noticeable).
Normally I don't care but if I am hanging out with a boy who has sort of dainty hands to begin with and his nails are long it kind of creeps me out, honestly. Especially if we are dating because I don't want him to touch me with his dental receptionist hands. If a guy has manly hands with long nails I don't care because I assume he just plays guitar and uses them to finger-pick.
Haha! Dental receptionist hands. That's an interesting visual. Clacking super-loud on the computer keyboard with their nails. Do guitar players have long nails? I always thought they'd have gross chewed up fingernails but I've never examined one closely enough to know.
All the guys I know who play electric have well-kept short nails, probably because long nails would get in the way of fretwork. The few I know who are married to their acoustics however have long nails on the hand they use to pluck the strings and short nails on the hand they use for fretting.
I actually knew a guy once, an older dood, who had scary Lo-Pan thumbnails which he would paint in his off-time with strengthening coat. When the thumbnail got long enough, he would chop it off, keep it, and use it as... what? An organic pick. I don't know, he had a collection, it was kind of gross.
I never notice other people nails unless they are mega claw long and painted neon or really dirty and gross.
I never paint my nails. Sewing all day causes the polish to chip almost right away and my nails never grow very long anyway. I keep them clean and filed nice though if that counts for anything, heh.
That's how my nails are, too! They never get long and I chip my polish as soon as it dries. I posted this question because I was wondering if I should feel weird about it, like I would if I never wore makeup or cut my hair or something. hehe
i hate those stupid long fake fingernails. every time i see them i want to rip them off. (same thing goes for stupid french tipped toenails, or whatever they're called.) but other than that and all the other stuff you listed, i don't really care.
i keep my nails really short. i've tried keeping my nails long, but i hated thinking about the dirt that hides underneath. plus, it gets in the way of typing. intarnetz, yay! :P
My fingernails will NOT grow long. It's against their religion or something. They're always nasty and broken! Probably from typing and obsessive hand washing.
