In 2001, Shindar Chillal proudly had her name included in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest natural nails in the world. The length of her nails measured 7.21 meters at that time. How does that sound? Shocking, silly or amazing? Different men hold different perceptions about women with long nails. But as per forum reviews, most men prefer women with natural nails (rather than fake nails) and that too not very long ones - only a quarter out of the finger.

Short Nails

A lot of women feel that men observe their fingers carefully and notice the length of their nails and the color of the nail polish. However, most men hardly pay attention to women’s nails. Out of the ones that do, most of them only make a distinction between well-kept and untidy nails. Trimmed and clean nails indicate that the person takes due care of her personal grooming. Moreover, a lot of men feel apprehensive about long nails, as these can poke or wound them. Often long nails discourage men from holding their partner’s hand.
 
Long Nails

While most men prefer short nails, some do consider long nails as a sign of femininity. Some men who like women with long nails confess that the true reason for their preference is that they love to have their backs scratched.

Long nails should be clean, should be of equal length on various fingers and painted with a fine color.

Tips to Keep Your Nails Long and Healthy
Nails are natural mirrors of the human body. Healthy nails signal good overall health. Nails that break easily, are brittle or have white spots on them demand your attention. Following are some tips to keep your nails healthy and strong:
• For moderately long nails, avoid using nail clippers or scissors. Just file them at the tip rather than on the sides.
• For nicely trimmed cuticles use a cuticle lotion and push them back with a cuticle pusher.
• Avoid French manicures.
• Avoid fake nails to let your natural nails breathe.
• Exfoliate regularly.
• Apply nail hardeners everyday.
• Massage your hands regularly to maintain blood circulation.
• Drink at least eight glasses of water to avoid dehydration.
• Eat a healthy and balanced diet. Multivitamin supplements also help.
• Do not bite your nails.

So, whether your nails are long or short, ensure that they look well looked after. That is all you need to attract your man.
