So let’s talk, ladies!įor my $.02, I’m hoping Reader L meant a millimeter instead of a centimeter - holding up a ruler against my very short nails, a centimeter past my fingertip looks like it would be double the length of my nail. But we’ve never talked shape/length, and even our work-appropriate nail color discussion was many moons ago. We’ve talked in the past about finding a nail salon near your office, nail care for the minimalists, and the best nail colors for work. I will be starting at a somewhat conservative firm in the fall. I also always wear nude or light pink polish to soften the look. They are short enough to look natural, but they are about a centimeter past my finger tips. I like to wear acrylics that are modestly long and rounded in order to enlongate my stubby fingers.
