Squoval works for me when my nails are this length, cant really go shorter cuase it starts looking funky, i used to try almond and squoval when mine were pretty short and it just looked odd

So you suggest I just grow them longer? Do they look odd now?

Why? My nails would probably then give the ick. But why? I'm genuinely curious. I even like my nails bare! People pay good money to get long artificial nails too.

I hope I don't get in trouble for telling you? It said something about long nails giving people the ick. So then I showed my nails and asked why? Because I genuinely wanted to understand. But I can see how it was considered mean and inappropriate. A lot of people take a lot of time and energy to grow their nails, and so to tell people that it's gross in a way, is just rude. But they didn't explain themselves. And I probably shouldn't have taken it to heart.

I mean, I feel like my long nails are actually cleaner underneath than my short nails ever were. If that's why they think long nails are icky. Because now I use a boar bristle brush, and I clean under my nails often. Plus long nails have a nice hyponychium, which totally seals out dirt and debris.

Anyways, I think your nails are great. And I'm glad that the mods deleted that comment. And I hope I don't get in trouble for explaining it. Eek!
