How long should my nails be?

Your choice: Your nail length is not critical for anything you do.....Well except maybe to help pry open soda cans.

Nail Length: I recommend playing around with different nail lengths and shapes to see what looks best on your hand. But most manicurists agree that a fairly short nail with a "squoval" (that's square-oval) shape looks good on everyone.
