Nails

Im pleased as punch that i have kicked the habit of picking them (not biting.

I don't know technical names for bits of the nail, but where ive picked them before the bit where the nail is attached to the skin is quite a way down from the end of my finger.. will that distance shorten over time?

Do you think its important for women to have good nails (fake/natural) or not bothered?

Well done, I bit my nails for 22 years so know how difficult it is.

My own nals are really weak and break very easily hence I have false nails.

I do believe that well manicured nails do make a hand more elegant looking

I had some acrylic nails and it ruined the actual nail.. tried gel polish and much preferred it.

I was thinking after I posted that Im sure there was a thread the other day about getting them off and something to do with wrapping in tinfoil and heating.

I used to have long nails when i was young but now i keep them very short cos i have sensitive skin and can get sore if i scratch myself. And i think its more hygenic.

I actually think its important that EVERYONE has good nails, but then, I like to use my hands a lot during foreplay, and if you could grow spuds under them, or they are cracked and torn, urrrghhh! But I was married to a qualified beauty therapist/masseuse for 7 years so I learnt the value of a good pedicure/manicure and how to make the most from your hands. To be honest, if the ladies just had hand pics, I would be fine with that ...... (another fetish, oh dear, I may need a normal therapist)

Bitten down nails on a woman isn't a good look at all.

I think it's important for both ladies & men to have nice nails.

Can really put me off if someone has bitten, dirty or uncared for nails.

I like fake/acrylic nails especially the french manicure look ones, but just couldn't get on with them.

Tend to keep my nails filed short to medium length.

Yours were duly noted & yes I agree manicured nails (real or false) do look great and add to the femininity !

I am not a nail fanatic. I think feminine grooming is very important, I always ensure I am shaven, moisturised, no hard skin on my feet etc, but my fingernails are not long.

My profession demands I do not have long nails or wear acrylics or varnish. I do not bite my nails and if I look at my palm, if I can see the white of my nail above my fingers I trim them. I am fastidious about handwashing and keeping the nails clean and long nails do harbour bacteria.

Long nails do look lovely if the varnish is not chipped etc but I can't be bothered to put varnish on in the e vening and have to remove it the next day, so I'm content to have short clean nails.

I don't know how ladies cope with very long nails. I took a photograph of myself with very long fake talons holding an icecube. It took my ages to pick up and grasp onto that ice and having to click the button on the remote fore the camera was a nightmare. I've no idea how ladies can apply make up or in fact pick up anything at all

I think it sounds like a bad habit I used to have, i.e. get a little bit of loose skin down the side, and pull it, then sit nibbling.

Not sure how I've kicked it but I have. Now the only problem is gardening and cleaning them afterwards.
