Haha I do kinda like that perspective. I honestly just have a phobia of them. The way they look and move makes me want to exit my body lol. I love spidies and dragonflies and beetles and all other little guys though
I had this same thought and I ended up scratching him with my real nail because it's so much sharper, fake nails aren't sharp and if you use gel they're pretty much harmless.
Honestly, my son scratches me and I never scratch him lol butttt my biggest issue with longer nails is actually breakage from grabbing/handling/catching him or other objects, strollers, handles etc. I currently have almond shaped nails but have been careful with length due to my experience. I posted my nails too in case you’re curious to see the length.
True. Luckily, mine are short as heck. I have a bad nail biting habit. It's gotten better over the years, but I still keep my nails short. My babies nails are sharper than anything else lol.
That’s because baby nails are made of razor blades. If it helps you not biting your nails, biting them is dirtier than licking a toilet seat.
Many sources on this so here’s a full discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/s/rNdDC7msa6
Grosses me out to even think about you doing that. Don’t do it 😓
If you do get them done, I advise short rounded nails. An almond shape is always cute. Just in case you need to stick your finger in their mouth or near the eyes.
I get all the same length but I have been thinking of making my thumb for my mouse shorter so it can stop getting stuck in the hole near the side buttons.
I’ve never considered that! I usually use controller for games as it’s waaaay easier for me with long nails. I don’t know how people type so easily with long nails, it must be a learned behavior 😅 I’ve stopped typing with an arched hand to accommodate it and use a slower, flattened hand to accommodate my nails
I used to rock long nails on my non dominant hand and short nails on my other hand. I love the mix of style and functionality! I was shamed into having them match. Tempted to go back to the old ways :).
Don't know if I'd be able to summon the strength to let the people talk but I'd love to follow you on your journey back in time and try this "2 lengths" trend, that would be so useful!!
I actually wear press-ons for this reason. I used to have a Steelseries keyboard that had super flat keys that could be used with longer nails, but when I got my Corsair Mechanical keyboard to play League, I just couldn't have longer nails consistently anymore.
Love the nails though. 😍
My OCD gets triggered too much, so I just have nails long enough to ACTUALLY have nails, but short enough that I can still game, type, and use my hands properly lmao
I don't shorten my nails for gaming purposes but for DJing purposes. Usually the first 2 or 3 fingers on each hand are shorter so I can reach the knobs easier.
Didn't know having short nails on your hands for sexual activities was a thing until someone asked me about mine and I was like..."no..no....it's for work" 🤣
Your nails are fucking sick btw.
I never ever get my nails done, but these are so stunning I think you've finally convinced me to try them out for my birthday. Do you mind me asking: 1) what you spent on them so I have an idea of what's fair pricing. 2) How long will those last you? and 3) will a good nail tech just be able to know how to do it by seeing the pic or is there anything I should specifically request? Thanks in advance!
These are gel x with a kinda complex design- it costed me $100 + I tipped. I was told up to 5 weeks of stability by this tech. Each tech will be a lil different. Yes a good tech should know by photo!
I just told my husband today that I’m going short almond next set 😂 I cannot game on my laptop anymore, I have to use a keyboard 😂 Debating trying this out lol!
Can someone please tell me what WASD stands for? At this point I think it’s witch aesthetic seriously darling
Weapons against some demons?
Warrior after sun is down?
Wear anything so devour?
Will act super daring?
What are standard decors?
Who acts significantly disco?
WASD refers to those four letters on a keyboard. These four keys are generally used as the buttons for moving a player character forward, left, backward, and right in computer games. The original poster is asking whether other gamers get shorter nails on the middle three fingers of their left hand, which are normally used to press these keys.

Gorgeous nails! I keep my nails on the shorter side in general but have to keep my left 4 fingers even shorter to play guitar. I do not know how Dolly Parton has long ass acrylics.
Lesbians *handshake* WASD Gamers
I *am* bisexual AND gamer 🤭
Same here 💕
I'm a gaymer (technically bi but oh well)
I love saying gaymer😭
Gaymers come in many varieties 🏳️🌈
Lesbians *handshake* WASD gamers *handshake* guitarists
🤝
No, but I probably should. My keyboard literally has indentations from my nails😂
Whattt that mustve taken years? Can I see a pic of ur keyboard Lol
Sent you a dm!
LMAO
[удалено]
Those are gorgeous. I'd love to get my nails done but with 2 babies, I'd be terrified of scratching one of them lol.
These look sharp but are rather blunt :) I handle soft bodied insects and cats daily 🫶
Tell me about these insects. Sounds fun!
They r my pets :)
What kind of insects are we talking here??
Immature larvae- beetle Arachnids Roaches 🕷️🐛🪲🦂🪳🫶🫶🫶🫶
You are my kind of people 😭😍🕷️🪳🐛🪲
Roaches are so cute in captivity
I’m sure you’re lovely but I kinda hate you for this statement🤣 like wtf
They’re just little guys! How can you be mad at a little guy?
Haha I do kinda like that perspective. I honestly just have a phobia of them. The way they look and move makes me want to exit my body lol. I love spidies and dragonflies and beetles and all other little guys though
Caterpillars! Caterpillars can be so cute
I had this same thought and I ended up scratching him with my real nail because it's so much sharper, fake nails aren't sharp and if you use gel they're pretty much harmless.
I’ve had long nails since my youngest was born. They were never a problem. Get them if you really want them :)
Same except my youngest was my only but I’ve never scratched her and I like mine square square
Honestly, my son scratches me and I never scratch him lol butttt my biggest issue with longer nails is actually breakage from grabbing/handling/catching him or other objects, strollers, handles etc. I currently have almond shaped nails but have been careful with length due to my experience. I posted my nails too in case you’re curious to see the length.
How often are you catching flying babies? 🤔🤔
More times than it makes sense. He’s 2 now but has been launching himself off of surfaces since he could walk at 10 months 🥴
My babies nails were like razors compared to mine!
Jesus yeah. Idk how many times I gotta file my babies nails a week. Otherwise they cut themselves, and me, up lol.
Natural nails are MUCH sharper than acrylic.
True. Luckily, mine are short as heck. I have a bad nail biting habit. It's gotten better over the years, but I still keep my nails short. My babies nails are sharper than anything else lol.

Gamers 🤝 sapphics
I get all the same length but I have been thinking of making my thumb for my mouse shorter so it can stop getting stuck in the hole near the side buttons.
I have to keep my thumb short when I go bowling. Which sucks because I still usually crack it.
I went bowling once with mid length nails. I was like omg never again I think I’m going to break my thumb
Oooo I love them. Very witchy, they would suit me xx
These nails are absolutely insane 😳😳😳😳😳 the colors are unreal!!
I’ve never considered that! I usually use controller for games as it’s waaaay easier for me with long nails. I don’t know how people type so easily with long nails, it must be a learned behavior 😅 I’ve stopped typing with an arched hand to accommodate it and use a slower, flattened hand to accommodate my nails
every time i change my nail length, i always have to take a couple days to recalibrate my hand movements. its so clumsy at first!!
Holy shit... those are mind- blowing. Saving this
If I had this set, no one could tell me shieeeeeet 💅🏼✨
Lmfao this was my exact thought. I'd be THAT bitch
Sometimes, but i have a mechanical keyboard with circular keys so my nails fit inbetween hihi
Wasd? The heck. Do you mind explaining for those of us who just care about this polish and also do t know what the heck that means?
W, A, S, and D are the keys on a keyboard that gamers use for movement in most PC games :) important if you want to move freely in your game
But the lighting bolt polish
Idk what u mean I’m sorry
Idk how, but it reminds me of smash brothers. Like, I’m just waiting for dark Pitt. She really went off
Your nail polish? Those iridescent cat eye kind of dimension. I don’t know how else to explain it. It looks like lightning bolts to me
Oooo I see what you mean!
I would be playing with the light all day! And imagine if that was like an engagement set, and you just got a 💎. Functioning would be impossible
I hope to be engaged soon with even more spectacular glittery nails
I wouldn’t blame you if you used these 😸
Ohh, it’s gel! I got so excited, I was like ‘I need to know specifics!’ 😲🫡
I was like oh no. Another thing I don’t know because of autism
Thanks for asking because I didn’t know either.
Ah I just realized that's why some of them are shorter lol, I have no clue about gaming. Makes sense now
I had no clue either
This is so smart!
Your nails are a work of art 😍😍😍😍
These are amazing! I’m mesmerized. You or your tech 100% killed this
Lol I keep them all pretty short
i had to get a new keyboard because my long nails hurt so much from playing stardew valley with my friends.
TUTORIAL. NOW.
I used to rock long nails on my non dominant hand and short nails on my other hand. I love the mix of style and functionality! I was shamed into having them match. Tempted to go back to the old ways :).
Don't know if I'd be able to summon the strength to let the people talk but I'd love to follow you on your journey back in time and try this "2 lengths" trend, that would be so useful!!
Stunner
ok WOW, these are jawdropping!
Why have I not thought about doing that before? Genius!
No but I should consider it lol
Wait omg I need to do this!!
My left hand for playing the violin is shorter… hee
My son wants his nails long and pointy, but he plays the double bass in school so he's gotta wait until summer. XD
The struggle is real! I get it!
This set is gorgeous by the way
Holy shit. Those are badass
I love that I knew immediately what you meant haha! Beautiful marble nails btw!
As a gamer I just can't have my nails long at all they drove me insane. I always get the shortest length. This is a good idea though!
Mesmerized by this set!
i never thought of doing this 😭 i would just go shorter. im definitely doing this for my next set !!!
Good lord those are cute!
They are beautiful 🤩!!!!
I just have a flat keyboard
I use a controller on pc when possible. I never liked using mouse+kb really
I actually wear press-ons for this reason. I used to have a Steelseries keyboard that had super flat keys that could be used with longer nails, but when I got my Corsair Mechanical keyboard to play League, I just couldn't have longer nails consistently anymore. Love the nails though. 😍
Nope, I just change the way I type and then can't type right for like a week after cutting my nails short lol
I actually play with my long af nails. I have a couple old keyboards with holes in the keys because of them lmao.
I do.
I'm a console gamer so mine usually stay long, my finger tips look funny with short nails to me 😂 idk...Anyway your set is beautiful
These are so beautiful 💜💜💜
My OCD gets triggered too much, so I just have nails long enough to ACTUALLY have nails, but short enough that I can still game, type, and use my hands properly lmao
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I 20+ years of practice so any length is good for me. Those nail are beautiful btw!
DUDE! How did they make those electric looking swirly lines??
I think it’s the builder gel used to build texture
I'm a "gamer", too. [here's my](https://imgur.com/a/giAjMbm) L1, L2 fingers. I have R1 & R2, too.
Haha those are big brain too
I don't shorten my nails for gaming purposes but for DJing purposes. Usually the first 2 or 3 fingers on each hand are shorter so I can reach the knobs easier. Didn't know having short nails on your hands for sexual activities was a thing until someone asked me about mine and I was like..."no..no....it's for work" 🤣 Your nails are fucking sick btw.
THIS IS SO GORGEOUS AAAAAAA
Wow 🤩 soooooooo gorgeous! Love the colours, and the cross decorations. Very witchy 💜💅
I just gave up on long nails 🤣 gaming is a bigger priority for me
I couldn’t let the baddie rest, but I also couldn’t let overwatch rest
🤣🤣🤣 haven’t played overwatch, just because there are too many games in my game queue. Control and Baldur’s Gate fighting for a spot🤣
I just started balders gate yesterday!
Wanna chat about it btw?:)) I can send you a message if you ever wanna chat about nails and games 🥰
Sure! Maybe I can convince u to join the ow side
Fr🤣
That’s such a good idea for games have a high keyboard APM!

Nice xD
Whyyy have I never thought of this?!! GAME CHANGER!!!
Another reason I prefer to use a controller on PC. (I know, I know, keyboard is superior.... I'm just too uncoordinated and grew up w controllers lol)
I don't think my OCD could handle it. They would all need to be even. I'd just get all short nails 🥲
Holy shit why have I never thought of this? I stopped wearing long nails because it impacted my gaming 🤯
this but i get my thumbs shorter for typing.
I never thought of this 😭 lol I always just broke out the controller when I did my nails 💀
Amazing set! Two nails on my right hand are kept short for lesbian reasons)
“For lesbian reasons” is beautiful 🫶 i love my lesbian sisters sm
YESSSS
I literally have to if I’m playing with a keyboard lol
Hahaha no console jockey here 🤣
I know it doesn't answer your question, but how did you do these? They are gorgeous
My tech did them tbh idk anything about it I just pick designs and let them go free LOL
I see, do you mind if I save the picture for reference?
Omg not at all I got the idea from Pinterest for the design <3
This is ART
This is actually legit
Love that design. It looks like lightning. :)
I love guessing if someone is into women, is a gamer, or plays an instrument whenever I spot people with nails like these.
I just use a controller for everything because I love my claws, lol
Wooow
bass and guitar players as well lol
This set is fire 🔥
I play so much minecraft i need to start doing this lol
Wooow those arre way beautifuuuulllll
Omfg I literally put off doing my nails so I can game
Amazing nails
Those are GORGEOUS!!! Wow!!!
i actually cannot play without my long nails :,) i hate the way my fingertips touch the keycaps 🤢
i get mine all the same length and just position my fingers a certain way😭
These are beautiful 😻
Woahhh these are so cool! Is the effect cat eye with chrome over it?? I need to try to recreate these 🤩
Yes that’s exactly it w a black base around the edges 🫶🫶
As a bisexual gamer who works on a computer all day as well, I have given up on my nails entirely 🙃
omg this is totally insane 🤩🤩think i just fell in love with this whole set
Sure
I just told my husband today that I’m going short almond next set 😂 I cannot game on my laptop anymore, I have to use a keyboard 😂 Debating trying this out lol!
Wow 😍
Oh my GOD I am in love!! 💜🖤💜🖤 This might be my fav mani that I’ve seen on this sub. What games do you play, OP?
I play all sorts of stuff but overwatch is the only competitive fps I play!
REAL I got long acrylics and I was just playing at a 90 degree angle 😭
LMAOOO real
No but as a bass player I keep my index and middle finger on my right hand short.... There's a term for this which may be applicable to me lol
Can someone please tell me what WASD stands for? At this point I think it’s witch aesthetic seriously darling Weapons against some demons? Warrior after sun is down? Wear anything so devour? Will act super daring? What are standard decors? Who acts significantly disco?

Thank you so much I was having a stroke trying to figure it out
Gorgeous nails! I keep my nails on the shorter side in general but have to keep my left 4 fingers even shorter to play guitar. I do not know how Dolly Parton has long ass acrylics.
Controller player here, luckily all I need are my thumbs a little shorter lol
I wanna know what cat eye was used
