This is the way my hands look every day. From the tips of my fingers to the end of all but three of my finger nails is 3/8", which is longer than they have ever been. I absolutely love them...and the way they click on everything I touch, as well as on each other, whenever I move my fingers. My hands feel (and I'm told, look) so professional, that I wouldn't want to wear them any other way!
Typing was never an issue with shorter versions of my nails. But now that they're getting close to my nail tech's goal of 1/2," I've had to slow down and be much more careful, to avoid errors. Opening pop top cans with my fingers is out of the question (I dig around in my purse to find something to help me.) Picking things up from flat surfaces is difficult, and pushing buttons or operating touch screens has to be done with my knuckles. By the end of the summer, I'll likely have reached her goal!
The girls haven't neglected my pedicure, either. This is the silver that they picked for me. It's iridescent, very subdued in some light, but more noticeable at times. And when I showed up for my last fill wearing these sandals with my hand-me-down shorts, they suggested that I just wear them all summer, to show off my pedicure.
Next, how they look under one of my house dresses...
I reminded them that some days I wear nylons to aid my circulation. "As long as they're sandalfoot nylons, without reinforced toes, you should be fine." So, I guess I'll be wearing sandals as much as possible...
