Woman: Hi there!! Can I help you, ma'am? Elly: Yes - my fingernails keep breaking and I'm looking for something to make them stronger. Woman: OK. First of all, you need to moisturize an' do, like this... total hand an' nail massage at least twice a day. Also, you need to file them slowly, side to top, with a fine emery, like this. Then, you'll want to use a nail strengthening collagen-type undercoat an' cover with a nylon microfiber polish. And don't forget to wear rubber gloves 'cause what really wrecks your nails is housework and gardening! Connie: So, did you find something to make your nails grow, Elly? Elly: No... I've decided that short ones are a "badge of honor"!
I don’t think your average male cares how a woman’s nails look as long as they are clean and trimmed properly. I don’t like fake nails on a woman or really long nails. Seems to me groomed shorter nails are just as attractive.
