not I :(

I work in a warehouse and machine shop, my nails do good to get past my finger tips, they are horrible. As for my toe nails, in the summer I keep them painted with some funky color.

i used to bite my nails and the skin round the nails until they were red raw, mostly without noticing, if i was stressed, i would suddenly become aware that my fingers were in my mouth.

I finally managed to break the biting habit although i continued to absent minded pull at the skin with my other hand.

After i stopped doing that, my nails must be weak, i look at them now, some are quite long, others have just ripped off at the base, i think i catch them on things.

it is my new years resolution to do my nails every week, and try to get them looking nice and then polish them.

I used to get mine done and I still do once in a while.

I paint my nails about every 3-4 days. My toenails have to match my fingernails:)


About the same, but my toenails dont have to match.:thinking:neither do my socks for that matter:wah:

Have you tried those glass nail files, you use em and just wash them they are great:D Apparently they dont split your nails as easily

Only in the summer-my fingernails, oh my, they are cut short. I am a musician too, so it is no use putting on polish that will be chipped in a few hours.

I change fingernail polish weekly or more, toes are always painted but they don't have to match the fingers. I have approximately 90 bottles of nail polish. It's a weakness. :)
