Ah, not to hurt your feelings or anything, but I don't think I have ever noticed a providers nails.

French tips especially the feet...

3,1,2,4.  Love plain polish!  If not that, then natural, but manicured nicely.  Never really cared for French manicures.  Can't stand the design stuff!

with a provider who has the long, fake, highly decorated nails, that are so popular with some women.

1, 2 & 3 are all fine as long as they dont extend way past the natural fingertip.

All of you guys are cool!

Thank You all very much! I thought maybe I am maturing in some ways where I am no longer into the designs. I like some of it but not fascinated with the maintenance and upkeep of the fancy stuff. I have grown to adore simplicity. And like many or of you guys; I have natural nails. I get them manicured and sometimes apply a clear gelled coat on for a shine but nothing more. My feet have a light colored polish on them I alternate every two or three weeks.

I asked this original question because a friend assumed I hadn't kept my appearance up b/c my nails weren't done. Clearly they had a shine to them from the gel applied. I questioned why he felt that was of importance and the need for flashy nails. He said "You used to have your nails the way I like them; that's one of the things I liked most. HaHa All guys like women with long pretty nails; if her nails are plain looking then she's broke - she can't afford to get her nails done". I laughed to myself thinking if anything its the other way around. The providers with natural nails are saving those dollars from expensive manicures and investing the funds into something else.

If a gentleman thought b/c a providers appearance was not up to par and only basing this from natural nails; wouldn't one think there had to be other factors to even question if this is true? Like... keeping her hair dressed in a conservative way, wearing fashionable designer clothing, prominent scented perfume and her CLEANLINESS.
