I prefer my nails a medium length (but they have to be very short when I'm throwing pots).  :)

i read throwing posts   ;D

perfectly French-manicured medium length  8)

ROFL!  ;D

;D

me too!!(it made sense for a split second considering i often wish mine were shorter to increase typing speed..well,one nail at least since i'm the one-fingered bandit  :-[ :D)

Short

Simply because it is hard to play my guitar with even medium length nails....

^ fun..acoustic i presume? ??? :)

Definitely acoustic!
Prefer rhythm to lead!      ;)

i've always wished that i could pick up a guitar or sit at a piano and instantly create music.. 8)

My mom and my brother did that, but sadly it wasn't passed along to me.  :-\\

>:( That really ticks me off. I have been practising for years and my little sister did the exact same thing. Picked up my guitar and emulated everything I had just played!!!  aargh!
I guess some get it and some dont!

I keep them at a medium length, anything longer and they break easy...

Medium length, for the same reason as Rio  :)

Medium to long.  For years I had to keep them short to play netball.

Long. I have been very lucky with my nails. On my wedding day, someone asked me if my nails were "French sculpured". I said they were real. They get long, they break. They get long, they break. It is a never ending cycle. but if one does break, I know it will grow again fairly quickly. But I do hate it when they break at or below the quick-OUCH!

(And of course, a cat must have her claws.  ;))

Short..I cut them off.  I actully hate them when they get long, they make it hard to put contacts in and out.  :)

I guess I'm the first guy to reply to this topic...

I like to keep mine short, so that I don't accidentally poke myself or anyone.

Medium. I used to keep them long, but my hubby is very thankful that I've filed them down.

Yep, I feel your pain.  I keep mine medium.  I know it's time to cut them when I can't get my contacts out as easily.

Mine are trimmed short.

I DO NOT like the bit-down, bleedy looking nails associated with nail biters.

As for my opinion on ladies nails. . .

I like them medium.

I'm lucky in that my nails have always been very strong, and they don't break easily.  I can grow them long if I want to...they just tend to get in my way.  :D

Thought I'd better *bump* this before it moves over to page 2.  :)

I prefer ladies nails to be medium...for reasons I dare not post here :-X

I prefer medium nails, mostly because I can't keep them short. A day or two after I clip them, they are just as long as before.

You must get lots of calcium.  :)

my hair used to be like that, when i was 14 i had hair down to my past my butt, got it cut to shoulder length and 4 or 5 months later it was the same length again. I wish it was still like that.

Medium,  again with the contact thing.  When it too hard to get my lenses out I know it's time to cut them.  Also I do quite a bit of typing at work and it's too hard to do with long nails.  Besides, I'm not real good about upkeep on them and they just look nasty if they get long and aren't manicured.

Hubby keeps his short.  He hates when they are long enough that dirt can get under them.  I feel this is totally unfair because I always scratch his back for him and he can't reciprocate.  :(

Long enough to make a mark, if I choose to!  ;)

I prefer them short, for much the same reasons I suspect !

Banasy (above), perfect case in point  ;D ;D ;D

Actually I think nails are protein, like hair.  Could be wrong thou, it's happened once before.  ;D
