My aunt use to always cleanmy nails for me. She would always say that girls will always look at my hands.
my nails stay trimmed most of the time, some times I let one thumb grow a bit of white, useful in for stripping wires that I work with all day long.
other wise, ragged cuticles lol, I had a g/f once get bored and do mine for me, but that was years ago, my hands don't look nasty though IMO.
Can't even tell about my cuticles though, and if its normally as painfull ( or she was bad at it ) and causes me to get so many nicks and blead again, Ill pass.
no dirt under nails? if I am coming from work it can't be helped, not so bad at my current job, but when i worked underground ( coal ) I went in white, come out black!
