I don't cut my hair either, it's close to 3 feet long give or take a inch or two.

I have fake too!!! never could grow a nail if I wanted to. Too weak and thin. I do not bite them! I have pink and white nails every three weeks. They look very real and I love them. They make me feel feminine and pretty. They are like a french manicure and go with everything. I use my hands for everything sewing, gardening, crafts, cooking, you name it and they still look as beautiful as when I first get them done. To me it is worth the money because I deal with the public all the time and I like to look nice.

I get a mani pedi every 2 weeks. Makes me feel girly even in my old jeans. I don't care to dye the gray hair but I love
pretty nails, silk wraps, great colors.

Short, short, short. Easier for typing and for putting on the thimble. I used to polish them, but then one would break and I would say the heck with it and cut them all off.

Plain and short. My health issues effect my nails, they are soft and split easily.

My fingernails are short and natural.

But can't say the same for my toes. LOL. I like lots of color and love my pedicures.

Mine are short....break and peel constantly- right down to the quick. Last week I was suffering with dry fingers....around the nails was like the Sahara Desert!!!! I remembered a hint I'd heard about. I dipped my fingers in olive oil, put on rubber gloves and washed the dishes (big pans - thing that don't fit in the dishwasher). My fingers looked great for a whole day. So I kept doing that every night....just this morning I noticed my nails are getting longer and looking better than ever!!!!

Mine are short and plain. I don't care to spend the time for "fancy" and anyways working in the garden it would be a waste.

Mine are natural, semi long, sometimes I polish with the nail lacquer. I have never had them done by anyone else. More $ to spend on other things.

Like most real men, I keep my nails short. :lol:
