Women: Do you like to keep long nails with polish on?

Hey! My parents didnt care so much on the size of my nails. They did think the colors I picked were wild and crazy though LOL . For the longest time I could not grow my nails long.

Ah i frgot to mention, it happened to me too...Once I went to this shop and saw black colour nail polish...I instantly bought it...But faced strong opposition to wear it...That time at our place we used to get very basic colours, black and green had just entered the market but I had to settle with a light grey shade hi hi

I don't know if this would help you with your nail biting but it might. They have a clear top coat that you can put on after you apply the color polish you want. But this top coat is made to help you from biting as it has a very bitter flavor so when you go to bite you'll taste it. If you like the taste or it's not something that bothers you it probably wouldn't work though.

Hey! I never was a nail biter but when I was younger I was never able to grow them all that long. Now I can grow them semi long and I like to keep the color light and simple . My one friend all she does is chew her nails and my gosh they bleed and looks like they would hurt.

Hey ! I know what you mean If I do anything but clear the color never seems to last or it will just wash away . I always seem to lose my color after a shower LOL go figure!

I think when I was younger I cared more about the colors on my nails. Now I just use a clear polish and before I know it my nails are long . if I have somewhere to go that is nice then I take the time out.

Hey! When I was younger I never could grow mine long , I didnt bite them or anything just couldnt . Yes , Long nails at times it is a pain to do normal task and for work if you type it can hard. I just like them semi long and clear and shiny LOL

For me as well it has always been hard for me to keep the polish on and that is why for the most part I will use a clear polish . I like to swim all summer so having color around that time is hard.

Hey! Yes, I myself like semi long nails . I dont like too short or too long and for the most part keep the color clear shiny or lighter. If I have big plans then maybe I will go all out too

It is nice to hear that you have long nails. I had a friend, my neighbour who used to have longs nails. She used to take good care of her nails. Now, I am married and moved to a different city. I haven't met her for a long time and I don't whether she still keeps the long nails. It was very pretty to watch and I used to be jealous about it.

Sounds like me LOL . I like to keep it simple or clear but if i have plans then maybe just maybe i will go all out . Cant go wrong with clear or light is the way i look at it . matches too with all things!

Hey! Oh yeah in the summertime having my toes is a must for me because i am always in my flip flops and it looks sexy. usually nails i keep simple and clear and that way goes with everything.

What do you mean by ready ones? Is that something like instant nail polish? I have never heard about that. I live in India and I have never seen something like that in any store. I use the normal nail polish which is in liquid form and I change it once in a while. It is good to use neutral colors like white or off white or pale pink. Most of my dresses are of that color.

Makes sense.

Yes, Having long nails does take some getting use to . I usually like to keep my colors simple. But back in the day I remember mixing color and using all these stickers LOL

Yeah, When working with kids you have to be careful there . I think it looks very nice and well kept as well.

The same thing happened during my childhoo days. I studied in a convent school run by Christian nuns. It is a rule that students are not allowed to wear any ornaments like chain, bangles or rings, not much make up etc. There was no written rule saying don't use nail polish, but most of the teachers were strict about not using nail polish. I remember the time when my teacher sent me out of the class since I had nail polish on my nails. She got a blade from another student and asked me to take the polish out. I stood outside the class and took all the polish out using the blade. Then only the teacher allowed me to get in.

Thanks for your response. I had a thought that most of the guys like girls with long nails, but now I am seeing that it depends on personal pereferences. Yes, cleaning the nails is a pain. When I was in school, I was not introduced to nail polish remover. At that time, I used blade to scratch and remove the nail polish. It is a very difficult process.

One of my colleagues also bite the nails. She said that she bite more often if she is stressed. So, I think stress has a part in that. Yes, it is good and safe to keep short nails since you have to take care of the baby. My mom used to keep the nails of her two nails long incase she wants to open some tins. Thanks for the response.
