i used to do that :D then i went to college and developed a bad nail biting habit .-.

I so wish my nails were strong enough to grow *sulks*
They are soft and split so easily!

There are a few products and things you can do: Get a nail polishing file with atleast 3 stages, leave out the first one when polishing your nails and on do it once a week and very carefull, the massage your nail bed will be getting will cause some advance for your nails strengh. in Adition - after polishing - ypu can use some nail hardener with minerals and vitamins .. also ... you might want to look up what the right food can do with your nails ;)
Other than that, I whish you much success with your nails :)

To the pic, I wish I could grow them like that, but then my girlfriend would complain I guess and I wouldn't be able to do my job training properly because the would be getting in the way, way too often :/
Other than that, very nice claws :3

I never bothered with nail products - I sort of them as too feminine for me. Still, I think I'll have to look into taking better care of my nails.

I broke my nails a lot of times in the first couple of years I started growing them long. I almost ripped one right off when my hand slipped as I opened a van door. I had to learn how to handle objects with my long nails and what the ideal length is for me, but that all came with time. Still, you got to be careful and always aware of everything your nails could come into contact with - even when your not carrying or holding anything. It'll come second nature though.

so amazing -_-....

mines are weapons, ints nothing amazing to grow nails, but give them a good shape... not just a sharp point, they will break eventually if they dont grow with a natural curvature

Mine do curve naturally, although a few do noticeably curve to one side than the other when they get very long. I don't spend much time looking after them. I use the computer a lot and when they get too long they start to put a lot of pressure on the nail bed which makes it ache so I have to cut them every so often. Using the keyboard also wears down the the sharp edge that I usually have after they have been cut (as well as wearing down the keys, the W key has a quite a deep groove at the top when the nail of my middle finger usually rests). I cut them into sharp points with a rounded curve to give them more structural strength at the end.

Your nails look awesome. I don't paint mine though so some people don't notice them right away.

Well at least you take care of yours, and deal with them properly. One..... Unpleasant lady that used to work at the local McDonalds had those glorious multi-inch acryllic jobbers that looked completely natural... If they were harvested from a 10 foot tall cat who was genetically spliced with a can of paint. Seriously, the things were BENT, like she super-glued sickles to her fingers. She literally had to handle things through sheer pressure of just the first 'section' of the fingers, if she even tried to so much as wrap her hand around a cup of soda she was catching on SOMETHING.

wow... i wish i could do that too. that's nice. though i have to keep it short so i can type at work. I keep it more like a french manicure shape, it's functional that way, for scraping, pinching, and picking things up.

Mine don't get that long. :( But I love sharpening em anyways.

they appear to be human digits, with abnormally long fingernails. You really should consider cutting those, I grew mine out that long, broke one off I spent an hour on the floor with a bloody nail-less finger clutched in my pained grip.

I've had them way longer before but now I let them grow a little bit longer before I cut them shorter. I've broken nails and even almost ripped one off before, but that was years ago and I haven't had any snap off or developed a crack for long time.

very nice

У меня были почти такие же...
