What do yours look like? Are the bitten? Broken? Painted? If they are painted, what color? Mine are pretty darn long, and they are painted with blue glittery nail polish.

Picked (but not bitten) down to tiny nubs. Frequently scabby around the bases. And not painted at all, because I don't go in for such things.

Longer than most people's, but not super long, with a small amount of chipped white nail polish from my friend's sleepover a few weeks ago. I don't paint them all that often, but I like the way they look when I do. I can't stand biting or picking at my nails, so they always look reasonably nice, I guess.

Ah, I used to hate nailpolish, because I was always too impatient to let them dry, but now I love it! I can't go without it. Well, I could, but I'd hate to.
Spamboy says, 'achy.' Hmmmm......maybe he's been doing a lot of stretching? I remember that one time he said, literally, in all caps, 'CAPTCHA.' Isn't that bizarre? Usually it's only four letters long. Weird. ;-)

Are you sure you weren't dreaming???

About the CAPTCHA? I'm certain!
(January 23, 2010 - 4:51 pm)
The name of the image that spamboy shows is CALLED "Image CAPTCHA". If you scroll over it and rest your mouse there is should say. Sometimes when internet explorerer isn't working it won't load the image, and instead just says Image CAPTCHA. Heehee

Yes! I have succeeded in growing my nails! But no, they are still not very long, but I have white tips now.

Painted, deep red with sparkly little flecks in them.

I like how almost everybuggy commented off TNO's post, but nobuggy actually replied to her. But I'm commenting off her post, because mine are the same; picked. I hate my nails, but they take forever to heal. And I accidently cut my left index finger (index, right? idk, I think in terms of music, so my LH2) nail with a knife. And I have other cuts and such on my hands/fingers. :-\

Long for me, which means that you can actually see white above the pink. Small compared to most people's. Decently good shape. And not painted. Truth be told, I've never painted my nails, and I don't exactly plan to. Like TNO, I don't do that type of thing.

Mine have extremely chipped black sparkly nail polish on them and are quite a bit longer than they usually are, because I normally chew on them when they'er wet and soft, but I don't want to chew on the nail polish.

Different lengths, and dirt under them. No polish, it stinks. You see, I don't really care about what my nails look like. I seem to bite them sometimes, and they just brake by themselves, too.
(January 22, 2010 - 5:35 pm)
They aren't bitten/picked/chipped at all; I can't stand that. They have clear nail polish, though, which makes them shiny even though YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE IT. It is truuu, you can't! But they are shiny nonetheless! Rawr!
Um, yeah. *needs to go to bed*

One of my friends simply adores my nails. Dunno why. I don't really care about them, you know how that is, but I don like them. But I play violin and piano so I have to keep them short for that. Every Sunday night, I cut my nails, but they are so stubborn. They don't seem to want to be short, though this week they went pretty short. Meaning just barely seeing white. Oh and I painted my nails once, when my friends said, "Let's go to the Salon!" and I was at the time under guardianship of one of my friend's mom. I didn't want to, but I didn't want to be a spoilsport. I painted them a light purple with a white flower on each thumb. I got a lot of compliments, but really couldn't stand the whole thing. My nails got long and I could see my nails to be able to cut them. My paint was ornery and wouldn't chip easily and I didn't have remover. When we finally got remover, it smelled so horrible, I could barely stand it. So overall it was a bad experience. Oh yes, and I felt so self-conscious all the time, as I wasn't blending in and I usually do with normal nails. I'm never doing that again! I totally agree with you TNÖ and Lav!

Leaf, I also don't think that nail polish blends in well for me.
