I am in love with long nails! I'm currently growing them out & I get so excited. I just can't stand having short nails because then you can't really make any cute designs on them. Does anyone else think long nails are elegant and beautiful? :)
Med because long nails If one of them break I have to cut all my other nails to the same length but if I have short nails if feels weird because I usually don't have short nails
My piano teacher kept nail clippers on the piano and made me cut them if I tried to sneak in longer nails hahaha. So now I can't stand them. I get pedis but my fingernails are always short and bare. I just file and buff them to keep em glossy

I prefer medium nails. And I just color them in bold colors when they are short. It's how I like it ;)

It depends on how lazy I'm feeling. I like it either way so my preferences lie on whether or not I want to clip my nails that day.

I prefer short nails because I always think my nails are carrying bacteria. :/. And my hands feel gross if I let them grow.

I prefer mine short because long nails are hard for me to deal with. Especially if you have weak nails you should have them short.

Agree with Lauren W. especially bright colors in the summer. I'm obsessed with nail polish just like others are with makeup.

I hate really long acrylic nails, but if they're medium length without a lot of gunk under them then thats great!
