Long nails on older hands. What do you think?

I have strong nails. I’m going for a manicure this week (you can see how they’ve grown in a month!) & would normally have them snipped right down. However this time because it’s summer, I’m tempted to just have gel polish put on them and not have them cut. But would it be a bad look for a ‘pensioner’? Do long nails just look better on the young? I’m wary of them looking like talons ...
?

I thought this was going to be about those long, FAKE nails that look like claws. Those are gross!

But your picture shows you have beautiful strong nails. I like the length they are at. In one month they’ll be quite long.

Personally, for an older woman, I don’t like to draw attention to my hands (veins, wrinkles, dark spots) so I go reasonable length - so I can work and do things - no polish except for certain occasions, vacation. Keep in mind that long nails are more unsanitary. People don’t think of that.

I would go for the ‘squoval’ option with gel nails - they’re more modern, more practical and don’t look like talons. 😎

I prefer the ‘squoval’ style too. It’s much more modern and, imo, attractive.
