I never had long nails though, and they would always break, and I have to keep them short anyway b.c. I'm a guitarist. I wouldn't mind having pretty long nails done up in neon pink and rhinestones though.
I always used to have long nails, but a couple of months ago I decided - no more long nails. Now I'm wearing short nails and I have to say that I got used to them. First days with short nails were strange, I felt like something was missing
but now I'm glad with short nails. Black polish looks much better now.
But I can understand that if someone has to shorten the nails not because she wants to, but because she has to, it sucks...
I always had such long nails, but whenever a nail breaks, I cut my other nails so they all could be the same length. And I'm always having to do that, so I recently decided just to keep my nails short. And I actually really like them short, they're so much easier to handle.
