Sexy claws and nail art: what do men like? According to the Jolie survey, women's nails that tend to be shorter (i.e. flush with the tip or only slightly beyond) are particularly popular among men.

Guys aren't into super long glittery nails and stuff like that because it doesn't make a lot of sense to them. They like it when girls' nails are well maintained, healthy and cleanly trimmed.

Almond shaped nails tend to suit everyone. If you have short palms and short fingers. it's best to opt for rounded oval and almond shapes. For longer palms and fingers, consider dramatic stiletto or coffin (or ballerina) shaped styles.

Just like women like guys (and other women) of various calibers, the same goes for guys who are interested in women. Some guys like natural nails while others like a more artsy nail; some guys like long hair while other like short hair; some guys like athletic women while some like a more laid back one.
Some do, but most don't. Long nails give the appearance of longer fingers, which appears more attractive to both male and female.

Long nails indicate fiercely independent and strong
You are comfortable with being yourself. Women like getting their nails done alone. You are fine to figure out things on your own. Women don't do it for the guys.
Short nails signify low-maintenance, simplicity and easy upkeep. This person might love to sport jeans and a t-shirt. They may paint their nails but not go all out to take their nail game to another level.
For the most part of last century, and even today, long nails have suffered unsubstantiated connotations of being classless — with extravagant extensions often being dismissed as “tacky,” or “trashy”.
