#nail length

Am i really posting this at 11:11pm?

Okay, I need help choosing nail length for my next manicure.

Normally I wouldn't ask here in this way, but I'm genuinely on the fence between the two and need some more thoughts. Fortunately, I can show both lengths, since currently my nails are just the lengths I'm trying to pick from.

The first option is shorter nails. Index finger is a bit longer, but I'm talking about like the middle and ring finger length.

The other option is having them long, or, well, keeping them long while letting the short ones grow.

Not really showing my thumbs because they're oddly inverted. My right thumb has a short nailbed and my left has a long one.

Regardless, I'd really appreciate any thoughts on which I should go with.

When I was younger I always thought that people kept their nails long to use them as knives. I figured these people liked to go around and cut food and people into little pieces.

Hi! I was wondering, how long is too long when it comes to nail length? I don't typically grow them out past 1/4 inch of white, but it looks elegant long on some people. Any advice? Thanks! :)

That’s an interesting question. It largely comes down to personal preference, and I think both short and long nails can look pretty/elegant/badass, depending on how you wear them. Personally, I find that neat, even shapes are more important aesthetically than length.

I often feel torn about my nail length: longer nails give me more area to decorate, but I have longish fingers to start with, and when my nails get too long they start to look a little talon-like for my taste. Right now my nails clock in at about 1/4” past the end of my fingers, and I think that’s just about right for me.

I also have a visceral negative reaction to nails that are long enough to start to bend majorly. But to each his/her own. I try not to be overly judge-y of other people’s fashion choices, there’s far too much of that in the world already.

Monday Manicure Tip

Nail Shape: Start with subtle shape changes. More of a naturally rounded shape will help keep the nails strong while creating the illusion of length.
