    My nails are polished, but short, maybe medium. I feel naked without nail polish and keeping them polished forces me to keep them in good shape.

    I keep mine shortish, just past my fingertips for the most part. (I played the viola for a while. Short nails are essential!) Not long enough to be annoying, but long enough to pry open soda can tabs and that sort of thing. No nail polish, because I work in a lab and I don't want it flaking off into stuff. (Nail polish goes on the toenails!)
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I recently discovered "Gellish" manicures, a super beefy UV cured polish that works on your own natural nail. Doesn't chip AT ALL for two weeks. And I don't shy away from adventure!

    Short and mostly naked. My toes are always polished, but I can't deal with keeping up with the hands. I occasionally get a gel manicure, but mostly can't be bothered.
