Ongles courts, depuis toujours, même à la grande époque des ongles longs et rouges

Je les porte courts, avec max. 1mm de « blanc » qui dépasse mais toujours bien soignés. Ce n’est pas vraiment par choix, pour le violon il ne faut pas avoir les ongles longs et même si je n’en joue plus tous les jours, j’ai gardé l’habitude ;) Et les ongles longs présentent trop de risques de crissement sur la vaisselle!

Courts. je déteste les ongles longs. Et, bien que j’adore les bagues et les bracelets, dans la vie réelle je n’en porte pas, idem pour le verni. Je sais que pour quelqu’un d’assez coquet c’est bizarre. Mais je m’en fiche des mains (si elles sont hidratées).

Toute mon attention se porte sur les vêtements, chaussures et rouge à lèvres (quand j’en porte).

Courts, depuis toujours.

I agree with you – short nails look a lot chicer! I used to rock long nails, they were super healthy and people never believed me that they were real. I would paint them bright pink; hello early 2000s…

I used to always keep them short, as they would break every time I tried to grow them. Shorter nails are definitely more practical and I agree they look more chic (especially in bold colors), but I have another issue – mine are quite ‘small’, so if I go too short, I instantly look like a school kid. My solution is to grow them a bit, but not to the point where they look like fake nails + I try to give them a natural shape.

Short ALL the time! Long nails are so impractical in my life (horses and general farm life). I don’t know how people manage with long nails, even tapping on the iPhone with long nails drives me mad! I guess I always use the top of my finger rather than the pad.

Short nails for the win! I used to LOVE long having my nails long and I would always paint them a dark red color. This was high school. But now I cannot bear when my nails are too long – if I make a fist and can feel my nails on my palms, I just cringe inside.

Short! There is nothing more hideous than long talons tapping at an iPhone screen.

Short always!

Courts toujours ! Toujours propres, toujours nets. En rouge, nude ou noir, tout leur va. C’est soigné et « so chic » !

Long or short as long as they’re tidy!

for all those saying their nails break – take silica – you will see amazing nails after 1 month. promise.

I used to keep my nails long…and they grew long, since I have strong nails. Now I like them short – as short as I can get them.

I actually cut and file my nails before I have a manicure every 2 weeks – the skin under my nails grows up past the tip of my finger – I have very long nail beds. My nail tech is always afraid she will cut me – she never has – but it’s easier for me to take care of it.

My mother and her father had the same type of nails…and my grown sons have the same situation under some of their nails, not all. I remember my piano teacher telling me my nails should be shorter…but they were as short as they could be!

Moi j’ai toujours préféré les ongles courts. et puis plus par necessité, car je travaille comme créatrice alors mes mains elles sont dans un sale état…Ça permet de faire beaucoup de choses, et l’entretien est plus facile.On peut mettre des vernis plus flashi (je trouve que ça fait moins surfait avec des petits ongles) et avec les bagues, c’est sans souci!

I keep my nails rather short and find it is more practical for my lifestyle.

Couldn’t agree more! Short is the new black as they say! Sometimes it also means that you aren’t allowed to have the perfect nails you want.When i was studying architecture at university all i wanted was long chic nails. But with all the projects and models we made every week, it was simply impossible to maintain any manicure! So, i comprised with this idea early on in my life.

i have very small nails so when i was a kid i dreamed of having beautiful long nails that my mom and my aunt had – i thought they would grow too as i grew! truth is, of course, they never did. that didn’t bother me much because as an adult, i much prefer short nails and yes they are much more chic!

Well… I would be so inclined to agree with you, if it wasn’t for how really short my nails look when they’re short. You see, they don’t go even near the tip of my fingers when they’re cut short. Plus, my fingers are also a bit on the short side and the tips are really round… Yup. Nail disaster. Just like you, every single time I’ve tried growing them, one would break ruining the whole set. I just have to live with horrible fingers and nails. Bummer :S

Je parle personnellement, moi ca fait très longtemps que j’ai les ongles longs, c’est inenvisageable de les avoir courts tellement que je suis habituée (mes repères et tout). Je les préfères sans vernis ou bien juste un peu lustré. Parce que justement avec un vernis flashy, rouge, ou noir, ça fait vulgaire et je vois que cela alors je ne supporte pas. D’ailleurs, j’ai remarqué qu’à chaque fois que je mettais du vernis ils cassaient plus souvent. Donc, c’est fini.

Va pour le long, naturel et propre. :)

definetely. short !

J’avais les ongles longs et je viens de les couper à l’instant même. Je suis entre deux. Ça dépend comment je me sens. J’aime avoir les ongles mi-longs et desfois courts comme maintenant. Je suis en fin de semestre et je préfère avoir les ongles courts, c’est plus pratique. Je les laisserai pousser quand je serai en vacances d’hiver. :D
