Where's the voting choice for 'My nails are so brittle they break and peel at every opportunity so it's not worth it to spend the money on them'? :lookround:
I do enjoy seeing beautiful nails and nail art though... there are some pretty rad designs out there!

I have very short nails (long or medium ones just get in the way), and I should probably take care of them more, but sadly I don't. I hardly ever paint them, and if I do its probably for a special occasion

I love nail polish but I do a lot of gardening so there's not much point in keeping a colourful manicure. I used to when I lived in London and I got really into OPI.  Apricotcha Cheating and We'll Always Have Paris were two of my favourites.  I have noticed that technology has really changed in the last ten years.  I bought two Max Factor colours over the summer and they are much easier to apply and so quick to dry, but they chip/peel really easily!

I usually leave mine natural.  Partially this is because I keep my nails really really really short.  Like to the point that if the little white edge thing is starting to show I feel like they're getting too long!  It drives me crazy whenever anything gets under my nails(and since I spend a lot of time at the barn with horses, there is a lot of dirt around to get under them), so that's why I keep them so very short.  I don't know why it bugs me so much, but it does.  So since I cut my nails all the time, it would ruin the polish.

That being said, I do really like the look of painted nails!  I almost always paint my nails when I'm going to a concert, and in the summer I tend to keep my toes painted, too.  My favorite colors are pinks, turquoise, and silver.  I wear a lot of turquoise and silver jewelry, so the matching nail polish can look really cool.  Usually I do them myself or my mom does, but my riding coach took all of the students who board horses with her out for mani pedis for Christmas last year and that was really fun!

I love having painted nails but at my job I have to keep my nails clean, so I haven't really done much with them lately. One of many reasons I hope to find employment elsewhere in the near future!

I'm a little too impatient to try doing really cool, intricate designs (and not really interested enough in spending the money to get them done professionally) so I normally just go with a nice base color with some glitter or speckles on top. I don't tend to grow them out though, I just paint my short nails. Last summer I did white with gold glitter on my toes and it looked fabulous.

I love nail polish and I won a lot but because I work retail and I also work as a jewelry designer, nail polish chips SO FAST for me. Sometimes it won't even last a day. I know its not the brand of polish, but rather the extent to which I use my hands.

I'd probably wear nail polish pretty often if the smell didn't give me awful headaches.  :(

Instead I just live out my nail art fantasies through Simply Nailogical and other YouTube nail channels.

Always have mine done. They do chip but oh well!!

 I do reds. I have probably twenty different shades. My husband says they all look the same but they are not!! I use a high gloss top coat or a flat with some of them.

 I also like some blues.

Have you tried non-toxic nail polish? There are several brands doing 3-5 - free polishes that steer clear of the most toxic ingredients. And it's even possible to find water based nail polish that are also safe for kids :)

For about a year, I have been getting acrylic nails professionally done.  I decided to start doing it because with all the weight I have gained over the years and my poor health, I wanted some part of my body to look elegant and fancy.  On days when I feel really crappy or sad, looking at my nails cheers me up.  When I was in my teens and 20's I would often get my nails done a few times a year, and got a few pedicures every few years with my girlfriends.  With my Lupus, I can't paint my own toenails so every summer I get a gel polish pedicure and it lasts until fall.

This is difficult one :D Sometimes I go long times without any polish and then sometimes I change color once or twice a week. I love colorful nail polish, especially coral and mint.  :) My nails chip quite easily and I often forget that I have nail polish and do something that ruins it  >_<

I love to paint my nails. I got mine done for my wedding, but that's the only time. I tend to paint then light pink or purple colors. China Glaze Rainbow is my favorite color. I would love to have cool nail art, but my nails are thin and brittle. They break easy.
