I've not posted a poll here before and don't know if this question has come up in the recent memory.
Which do you prefer, long toe nails or short toe nails. I thought I didn't care, but find that I prefer shorter toenails than longer ones. but the same doens't apply for finger nails.
In your comments(for those who want) share what kind of color you like with the length of your choice. also, does that relate to finger nails..
I like short red toenails... but I prefer medium lenght (not too long so it looks useless) french manicured finger nails.

When it comes to toenails & fingernails being long or short, for me it's not so much a question of length as it is a question of fullness. What I mean is that my preference lies with large, full nail beds as they generally appear healthier and more substantial to me. When I use words like "large & full" in this capacity though, some people occasionally misinterpret that to mean that I like long nails, which isn't really the case. I wouldn't want a gal's nails to be either excessively short or excessively long, as both are something of a turn-off for me. Somewhere in the middle would do the trick, but the large & full nail beds really are the key to attractive nails for me. My general rule of thumb with regard to nail length is that a gal's nails should be full enough to extend to the very tips of her toes & fingers, but not extend beyond them.
As for color, I've always been pretty outspoken about my nailpolish preferences. Anything that's lively, vibrant, and wild is bound to be a favorite of mine, with the #1 slot on my list going to hot neon pink. Other top contenders in my favorites book are dark metallic blue, metallic & classic red, bright orange, purple, gold, silver, and on and on. The only polish colors that I outright hate are any variants of white or cream, with my all-time least favorite being french manicure/pedicure.

CJ IS THE MAN i swear, im so happy i dont have to explain that whole theory again! so dead on. a girl could grow her toenails long as hell but if her toenail bed is naturally small, it still looks nasty to me. As far as length regardless of nail bed fullness, i like them slightly past the tip of the toe. i NEVER like seeing any space between the tip of the toenail and the tip of the toe, thats a step away from disgusting to me.
My favorite color style is french pedicure and red. i also have a thing for any dark colored toenails, black, brown, maroon, etc.

CJ, never really took the time to look at fullness.
to me, the cute factor is that the nailbed is not too small with respect to the toes and the toenail isn't realy long. i don't like it so short hat there is a lot of 'meat' between the end of the toenail and the tip of the toe.
you did a swell job explaining it! as for color, it's cool we don't agree 100% but i'm with you on the white nail polish or varients of it!!! the french pedicure.. the white part has to be rather 'small' in proportion for it to work. and on the hands.. can't be close to or more than half the nail volume.

I like shorter toenails just because I think it looks beter when the toes are painted. Finger nails however, I like to be a little longer. Just think it looks better.

I like the nails to be well maintained more than anything. Neatly trimmed and not looking like deadly talons for me. However I would like to add that they should never be cut too short. I've seen 'em before where someone gets carried away with the clippers and before they know it most of the nail is clipped off right to the cuticle. Blech!

as much as i love em really short, i like the fantasy of being able to scrap the sweat from the toe nails. I know it sounds so dirty and rank, its just a weird fantasy

I don't think anyone should ever grow their toenails way long. A little past the toe, and I'm fine, but if they look like claws, then that's a major turnoff. But I agree there with CJ, the nail bed is the real important part, and I for one, like a fuller nail bed than anything.

I like medium to almost long length toenails with a french pedicure, otherwise keeping them short to medium is fine. And a short to medium length for fingernails for any nailpolish works.
