How long should your toe nails be without being too long or too short?

Question

should they be below the tip of the skin at the skin or past it?

Btw, this is for girl toes.

Answer 1

they shoud be short but long enought so there is a cresent at the tip of the nail so you can do french tips ♥:)

Answer 2

well since its for girls toes, i would say that the best length is just on the toe. If its too long it may hook a sock and become extremely uncomfortable. If they are too short it will in fact hurt when you walk.

Answer 3

below because if the are at or past if you have on closed toe shoes it can break and push back and it feels terrible especially when going down hill you can even get cracks in them it is painful

Answer 4

i don't have a real specific answer for you and it really depends on which toe. some of my toe nails grow faster than others. So I really just cut them when the bother me.

Answer 5

You should grow them out so that there is a nice line of white. Kinda like a french manicure. You always want to make sure they look like this and not short where there is not white at all. This can cause painful ingrown toenails.

Answer 6

Definitely below, mine are pretty long right now and they're still below the tip of my skin.

Answer 7

Use pain as your guide.
Press down on them, if it hurts, they are too short.
If they can catch on something,
and it hurts, they are too long.

Answer 8

hmm..... I cut mine short only because I find it annoing to have them be any longer than they are.....

Answer 9

They should be so long that they go over the end of your sandals...
