Do you think it's still appropriate to rock super long nails?

I'm thinking of doing it this summer and paint them with a nice bright pastel color but it might scare off some people, particularly the kids. :)

Any "right way" to do long nails?

long nails can be very elegant but I think there is a surprisingly fine line between elegant and trashy. Throughout history, long, healthy nails have been regarded as classy and feminine but with acrylics these days, women are able to have nails that are longer than ever. I personally love a little length to my nails (the key is religiously keeping up with clear Sally Hanson nail strengthener!) but think that once they start to inhibit functionality, they're beyond long enough. I hate to see fake nails that are so long they look like talons curling over the tops of one's fingers. And the pointed nail trend that caught on in Hollywood for a while among some of the biggest female stars was so ridiculous and downright scary!! Surprised

The Sally Hanson nail strengthener just dredged up some middle school memories. That was the time when I was introduced to this wonder product and I've been forever hooked!

You're right, if I'm even just thinking of doing long nails, I gotta get me a bottle of Sally Hansen. Not sure how to style long nails though - are they supposed to be square ended or is naturally rounded ok?
