Fingernails are one girlie thing I don’t do. The thought of painting my nails is mind-numbingly boring to me! Keeping up with chips, ugh. I do keep my toenails shellacked, however, since I wear sandals nearly all the time. Those unpainted nails are just too boring I suppose.
It’s interesting to me that men think long nails are attractive or not even noticible. However, like most primping, I do if for me, rather than for the (possible) appreciative looks from men.

I hate long nails on any women, but I find it very repulsive on those excessively fat women that seem to be wearing the nails like it might distract you from the fact they are so fat.
I personally am not into doing my nails; on the rare occassions when I do, I like really funky, glittery colors. You know, the ones with actual bits of mylar or something in them that you almost have to pry off with a crowbar when they start to chip. Mostly, though, I prefer to keep them at 1/4 inch or less, slightly squared off, and bare.
I agree that it’s a question of personal care-- long nails can look great if they’re well maintained, but bare nails can look like crap if they’re all uneven or stained. I think what turns a lot of people off are the extremely long, bordering on Book of Records varieties. For some reason that’s just kind of creepy, “blood-soaked” or bare.
Btw, the one thing I always wished I’d done when I was in my long nail phase a while back was having a hole drilled in one, and a teeny little gold ring inserted. I don’t even know if that’s “in” anymore, but I thought it was cool.
