How long are your fingernails? Do you wear false nails?

If yes or no

WHY???????

I have short nails but wear nail varnish quite alot of the time

I have no idea how women cope day to day with long nails - if you have how do you cope with stuff

Look at channel 4 now and the woman on WIFE SWAP

I have acrylic nail on and have done for about 6 years. Never have a problem..!! They are around an inch or so in length and sometimes I do loose the odd one due to being clumsy etc but otherwise I cope well..!!

I can change nappies no problem and can even text ! My sis laughs at me and can't believe I can do anything with them. She watches me in amazement texing..!!!

BTW I can peel potatoes,wipe my arse (although at 32 weeks pregnant this is becoming a challenge ) and do up my zips without a problem..!!

I have then because my normal nails are quite short as I'm a nail biter and have small nail beds so I hate them naturally..I also feel more elegant etc with them.

My nails are also about an inch in length and I have never had a problem doing anything, the women's on wifeswap are a bit OTT
