I don't like having long nails so I have mine cut/trimmed every 2 weeks time. I go to the Nail Spa to do my manicure and pedicure cos I'm not so good at cleaning my nails by myself plus every time I apply nail polish, it goes off quickly.

My finger nails get cut when I can no longer touch the keyboard keys that the tip of my finger. Trying to type with my fingers don't work for me. They break or get chipped and I have to trim them down some. I also cut my finger nails if it breaks off and then I have to do the same thing for the nail on there other hand. Same finger same nail, call me crazy but if I don't it won't grow back right. My toe nails cut if i bump into something and it hurts when I hit my toe nail. That is when it's time to cut them. Or when they have grown so long that your feet are uncomfortable in my shoes. That is the warning sign to cut the toe nails. I don't have to cut them like i have to do my fingers though. Have a good one.

I do not cut my finger nail as I am a girl. I just file and paint them. I cut my toenails around once a month but they must be soaked first in water as I lost two of them (fell off) in accidents, and they grew back so thick. It is so hard to cut one of them. I had to buy special scissors for it. Yes I hate to have my toe nails too long. It hurts when I wear my shoes. Cutting them once a month is about right for us all.

Maybe they grow at different rates though for different people.

Well, I Cut The nails in my hand often, Like Once in 15 days, Cuz they grow really slow. As far as i remember, Last time when I cut the nails in my legs was 2 months ago, They must have grown not more then few mm. In fact, Cutting nails is a Good habit, And cleaning them too. At least it keeps You away from many diseases.

I am a girl and I do try to grow them a bit longer and paint them. I usually cut them daily to make sure there isn't any dirt under them or anything like that. I usually will cut them after a few start to break because they are getting too long. Usually once a month. My toe nails can go a bit longer, maybe every couple months or more.

Hello froogle! I always make sure that I cut my nails at least once a week. I really don't like to let it grow longer because dirt easily gets underneath it and with the type of work I have I can't have long fingernails. I cut my toe nails at least twice a month. I don't let it grow long because ingrown nails hurts.

I trim my fingernails once a week. In one way or another, our fingernails reflect how conscious we are about hygiene. Well, it doesn't have to be short to be clean. I know of other people who grow their fingernails but they are conscious of their hygiene but long fingernails accumulate more dirt than short fingernails. Besides, it's difficult to work on some activities when our fingernails are long.

I just cut my nails today. But usually it would take me about a week or so before I cut my nails because I really don't want it long because it looks untidy to me. It's not also allowed in our work to have long nails to look more clean. ^^,

I usually cut them once a week, or when they feel really really grimey and dirty, and cutting them is the only way to get that clean feeling under my nails. Usually cut them after taking a shower. Does anyone else struggle cutting nails with their non-dominant hand? It's one of the insecure worst feelings in the world.

I cut them only when they hurts me. But i prefer them short and neat because i deal with typing job so it hurts my finger if they are too long. As for my toe nails, i don't cut them often because they grow slower.
