I have claws!!

[gemfyre]

My nails are so nice and long at the moment and I want to paint them and show them off.



But... Because they are so long they've become a pain in the arse. They interfere with typing and they are sharp - which is not good for me because I have eczema and scratch it. My claws are doing me injuries.

To cut or not to cut? I know in a few weeks time they'll be back like this again anyway.

If you're scratching yourself worse because of them, cut them. Then your skin can start to recover for a bit while your nails are short. I'm similar - I have eczema and I like to have my nails as long as is practical for my job. I've done some nasty damage to my legs when my nails are long, even in my sleep. I'd cut them unless you're growing them for a special occasion.
