I used to have a bad habit of biting my nails, but when I got braces it made the habit impossible, so I stopped. Nowadays it is possible for me to bite my nails again, but I've kicked the habit, so I don't anymore.

My nails are almost always painted now that I can keep myself from biting them. This is what they looked like last week, but they're a sparkly gold foil color now.

I always forget to cut mine so I just end up biting them. It's a pretty gross habit that's proving hard to break. I bought some stuff to put on my nails that makes them taste bad but I still can't help biting them haha.

I let my fingernails grow until they get bothersome when I play the piano. Notes + nail tapping doesn't sound very good. My toe nails are pretty short, I don't bother with them since they grow extremely slowly. (or they break off and I don't notice)
I used to bite my nails as a kid but I started getting into nail polish at age 11 so luckily I stopped.
I love doing nail art for myself and my friends. I've been buying polishes for years now so I've managed to collect over 100 bottles so far.

My nail lengths the same as yours. How did you manage to paint your nails like that, crackled top coat?

It's plain black polish with this Etude House glitter polish (bottom row second from the left) on top of it.

Because sexuality is determined by finger nails.

Mine are generally short because I bite them if they get long enough to bite.

Usually just put a slight cut in the side with another nail and peel them trim as needs be, about every other week or so.

Keep them short.
Cut them or bite them.

I trim my nails. Rarely use nail polish or designs. The appeal of customization for me is huge, but strangely enough that mentality doesn't apply to my nails for some reason.

I wish there were more girls on MAL so this could just turn into a nail polish thread.

Generally, all my nail polish is bought from the drugstore for <50 cents USD converted but I have a few from Korean brands like Etude House, The Face Shop, and Nature Republic. Slightly more expensive than the stuff I get from the drugstore, but some really pretty colours there.

Shit like OPI and China Glaze is too expensive - I have four OPI miniatures I got as a Christmas gift but I would never buy them on my own.

I bite my nails since I was like 5 or something. I can't quit because of psychological reasons. I never cared thought about other people's opinions, at least not on this matter.

oh gosh, i'm horrible! i often buy MAC nail polish for a ridiculous amount, but China Glaze and OPI are acceptable. Essie is ok in a pinch. The MAC nailpolish is truly amazing, but you pay up the ass for it. The only time i totally insist on using MAC is for top coat. that stuff is unreal.

I hope you mean 20-30 different colours available. I'd hate to imagine you are some some 30 fingered freak.

I like longer nails and I usually keep mine fairly long. Short nails make me fingers look fat and it makes it harder to me to grab flat and/or tiny things. I don't paint mine or anything though. Don't see the point in doing so.

I buy a lot of nail stuff from Etude House, TFS, Skin Food, and Sally Hansen. OPI is so damn expensive, I've only bought the holographic one.
My mom has a few bottles of Chanel and MAC but there's no way I could afford it. Chanels classic red is beautiful and lasts a long time though. Essie's "matte about you" is glorious but it's the only Essie product I own.

I like girls with short, natural looking nails. Long nails are a major turn off for me, they look like claws.

Do you let your nails grow long, or keep them short?
I clip them about once/twice a week.

Do you bite your nails?
No

Do you paint your nails?
No. I don't swing that way >_>

Do you even care about your nails?
Not really. As long as they don't get in my way idgaf.

I think Seche Vite has a good top coat because it dries really fast, but I get shrinkage from it. I like China Glaze, Essie, and Zoya (Zoya has the least offensive smell imo). I hate the brushes on OPI and Sally Hansen because they're too big so it's hard to apply.

Saw this chart yesterday comparing nail polish prices to how many fl. oz you actually get per bottle and Chanel is way up there in fourth. Beaten only by Lancome, Dior, and YSL.

I'm so cheap I don't have any top coat at the moment, just ran out of whatever cheap brand I bought last time.

In a way I buy cheap nail polish because I can 'afford' to - unlike skin products where I will willingly pay exorbitant prices. I know my nails won't suffer if I use cheap polish, unlike my skin, which will break out in angry red spots if I use cheap makeup. My preferred foundation & concealer is from MAC, but that's a discussion for another thread, haha.
