@ECBG, I think it was you who asked about nail care products recently and I told you about the Dr. Dana Nail Renewel System.

@MariotaMurielle Thank you.  I was looking for a good cream for cuticles.  I wear OPI polish and stay with the blue based reds and pinks.

@ECBG, the glycolic acid pen and the conditioning oil pen in this kit are the best I've found to keep my cuticles in great shape.

Re: How long do you wear your nails to?

Mine grow quickly so I find myself tearing them off.  I like them short because I use my hands, work in a hospital and don't want to blind my dog.

I keep them trimmed just to the end of the finger.  I only paint them for special occasions.  Polish ruins my nails and does not stay on.

Re: How long do you wear your nails to?

I have a free edge to my nails but they aren't super long.  I do have an acrylic overlay on my natural nails.  I have horribly thin nails that will split and rip.  I also have very small nail beds so if I don't have any free edge, they look like little kids nails.  On top of all that, even gel polish won't stay on my natural nails.

 

My nails are always polished but I do not do nail art on them.  It's not my thing.

I wear mine short.  I work in IT, so I use a keyboard all day every day.

Re: How long do you wear your nails to?

About 1/4" beyond the fingertips. I polish them, usually in a neutral or clear polish.

I just trimmed my nails down because it hurts if they get bent the wrong way.

 

So, I wondered how long do you let your nails grow to?

Do you decorate them?
