What kind of shape are you fingernails and toenails in? Do they need to be painted? Are they long or short? Real or fake? How do you prefer to keep them? (lol that sounds so weird)

Haha I love these fun little posts  I need something light hearted!
I just recently got a surprise manicure and hair cut/style from Hubby (he made the apt lol). My fingers are in pretty good shape but the nail polish is all chipped. I don't have remover though! I want to redo them badly. They are normally pretty long and sans nailpolish though.
My toes I cut and polished them a couple nights ago! I think they look SO cute  I haven't done that in SO long!!!

My hands don't look feminine at all. I just cut my nails really short and almost never use polish.

Fingernails: Never painted, always short, and not well kept. I bite them sometimes. The only time they look nice are when I get acrylics for a special occassion.
Toenails: Always painted, but usually at home. I always keep the nicely kept and get pedicures from time to time.

All natural the only way I like them. I dont like painting finger or toe nails it bothers me feels like they are suffocating even though they can't, its just uncomfy. And I let them grow as long as they want to and just fix jagged edges when they break(finger nails that its, my toe nails are kept trimmed and short  )

i usually always get mani/pedis every week but i skipped this past week cuz i needed to save the money. i'll be going again next week, since i gotta go get waxed anyways. i go to a little chinese nail place (LOVE all the girls who work there). Me and SIL have been going there for over a year, they are awesome, plus the owner does great waxing for really good prices.
i prefer a colour on my toes, i always mix it up. and on my fingernails i like french

I love pedis! My toes are usually painted, I get regular pedicures. My hands are another story. They are natural, short, and unpainted. It's just necessary in healthcare, b/c washing them a million times a day ruins any polish.

I have really nice nails naturally. I'm pretty lucky, they are strong and grow fast. All I do is cut them. I don't do anything special.

I keep my finger nails natural and short. I can't stand it when they start growing. It makes me feel gross. I paint my toe nails during the summer time.

I have ugly, manly little hands, and just recently started growing my nails out. They look stupid long though, and if I paint them, I'll just want to bite all of the paint off. So, they are short and colorless.
I hate my feet too, because my heels crack easily and they look gross but if I get them nice looking, then I'll paint my toenails every now and then.

I keep my finger nails fairly short because they break easily, and if they get too long, they annoy me when I'm trying to text or type. I rarely have any polish on because I always seem to mess it up right away, and then I just sit and pick it all off for the next week!
I always keep my toes short, and I love to wear a dark color on them... I only like my feet if my toes have paint on them  Twice a year my sister and I spend an afternoon at the spa and get manis and pedis. If the nail places weren't so gross and unsanitary looking around here I would have it done more often... but I much rather pay a higher price and look forward to an afternoon at the spa twice a year

My toenails are always painted. I hate unpainted toenails. At least on me.  It's because I have my dad's exact feet so if they're not painted they look like men's feet to me.
I rarely paint my fingernails- if I do I end up picking it all off the next day. I used to be an obsessive nail biter but now that I've given up the habit I love having long, pretty nails. DH made me cut them a few weeks ago because I would accidentally poke Cambria sometimes.

HORRIBLE condition is the best way to describe the state of mine. The paint on my toenails is all chipped and my fingernails aren't painted but they need filing and shaping. I'm hoping to resolve this next week.

Fairly short and natural. I HAD kicked the habit of biting them prior to Matthew but now I've picked it up again.
I never paint my nails. My maid of honor convinced me to get something simple for my wedding and that is the last time they have been.
I swear I am like anti-girl or something. Some of my mom friends were talking about how they couldn't wait to get manicure with their daughters and I had an internal shudder. I guess it's good I have a boy!

I bite my fingernails and clip my toenails regularly. They are never painted. The one and only time I've had them done was for my wedding.
