    Do you think that long fingernails gives a better visual effect to Pen Spinning? If you look at SEVEN, Ayatori, etc. it looks great huh?

    Do you guys think that it's uber ugly? or cool? Can you imagine SEVEN spinning without nails?

    i hardly notice the fingernails if im watching a really fast spinner

    imo, long fingernails are kinda ugly for a boy. for the girls? i don't mind it

    Yup, long nails look great with spinning IMO. It makes the fingers look more slender, especially if the nails are curved and not flat. Mine are flat so it looks weird if I grow them out sad.gif

    oh yeah, and long fingernails look really cool with finger flourishes.

    long nails = thumb.gif
    painted nails (on a guy) = nono.gif

    yeah long fingernails are good for people who have long fingers,
    gives the enhanced length illusion,
    but ppl with short fingers dont look very appealing w/ long nails laugh.gif



    i dont think many ppl look at the nails when ppl icon_spin.gif
    they focus on the spinning instead of nails

    I think that it's pretty cool on some spinners, it looks like the fingers have another shape, it's cooler ^^.

    But it depends on the style. Don't imagine Eriror spinning with long nails LOL

    japanese spinners look good with long nails because it goes with the style of longish skinny hands. imo it looks cool tongue.gif

    Meh, depends on the spinner. If the spinning looks good with long nails them keep them. Howver, there are limits, as in, don't grow them freakishly long. Like Answer's, god his nails are DESSGUSTING. So are ayatori's. But I keep mine short, cuz long nails don't look good with my style and are a pain to keep clean; so much shart builds up under the nails. >_<

    Well, I think long nails would actually hinder one's ability to spin a pen. (Triangle Pass for example)

    But other than that, I don't pay attention to how a spinner's nails look.

    It depends on the guy, yes, u cant do tri pass smoothly, but other than that, nothing else

    After one of the teachers at my old school watched one of my videos, the first thing he asked was to see how long my nails were.
    I didn't grow them out for any particular reason, just laziness.

    It doesn't matter if you have long or short nails. What people will see is your spinning. And i don't think long fingernails will help you at all.

    Doesnt annoy me at all smile.gif but after vids and stuff i usually cut it cause my FG's doesnt like it ..... FRIEND GIRL ....

    I hate it tbh... I find it looks bad, but oh well.

    I usually have my fingernails long, just because I am lazy, but I recently cut them and I think my spinning looks different. (For the better)

    I don't like long nails. To me, it just doesn't look good. Especially when they're really long, they look like witch fingers.

    well, as baaron said, it depends on the spinner
    i think they look great on japanese style hands (long skinny)
    like nikoo kuzu slofis etc...

    but spinners like BaoO and Answer... their style/spinning looks disgusting
    with long nails. probably because of their hand formation

    thats just what i think

    I like to keep my nails medium long nowadays because my hands are so skinny ._.

    Like some said, it depends on the spinner. people like Eriror, or Minwoo, or Fratleym- they're spinning will probably look quite ugly with long fingernails. But spinners like SEVEN, NIKoo, Toro- the nails just fits so well, I can't imagine them without it.

    For example, here are some recent videos of NIKoo, WITHOUT long fingernails:

    I just can't watch it sad.gif


    I myself don't have long fingernails most of the times, but that's because I'm a guitarist, so I need my fingernails to be short >.>

    Obviously having long nails makes Triangle Pass more difficult but if you had a freakishly long pinky nail it could make 34 tricks easier because the pen wouldn't actually have to touch your pinky, just the nail. ph34r.gif

    And as far as how it looks I think it makes it harder to concentrate on the pen, therefore making it pretty annoying IMO.

    +1

    yeah personally, dont really like long fingernails, cuz it annoys me (somehow huh(1).gif)

    like said before, it hinders/gives dissability to psing on certain tricks, also said above, triangle pass.


    once, when my fingernails were long, i couldnt punch other ppl making fun of me cuz of psing, since the nails would DIG into my palm.

    I think long nails don't go well with penspinning. I end up obsessing over how bad (rarely good) the nails look than watching the actual person spin

    my nails are now up to an inch long, but it still cant be seen on my cam sleep(1).gif

    Can i have a picture of them?

    unless your general nails are rather long, with somewhat long nails, im at 1.2cm ( 1inch= 2.54 cm)

    Long fingernails are where its at, fellas.
    For people like me who have pretty short fingers, it kinda makes your fingers look longer during a video and so kinda more stylish.

    lol thats like saying taeryongs spinning would look more stylish with long nails
    but i beg to differ...
    for example, answer and baoOs spinning dont look that good with their long nails
    short fingers and long nails dont go together imo

    So am I, i prefer my hand when it has nails, more appealing, maybe.

    i spin better with shorter nails i think...difference isn't large though

  38. Tatemichi
    Date: Wed, Apr 1 2009 05:36:42

    ... i just cut my nails... they were just shorter than a centimeter from the tip of my finger. i had to for violin. when i had long nails my hand on camera definitely did look a bit longer and more elegant i guess? but after i cut them the only thing that improved was triangle passes everything just felt the same but it looked more clumsy and stubby so i like long nails.

    Yeah okay I have no idea who those people are.
    I personally think longer fingernails look awesome in a video, but I guess that's just me.

    Date: Wed, Apr 1 2009 23:41:50

    Of course long nails look awesome, but not for all spinners. Like a previous poster said, if spinners like s777, Eriror, or Minwoo, etc. spin with really long nails, then that would be eeek.gif

    IMO, long nails look better on asian hands. (except the chubbier ones like on some korean spinners)

  42. Tatemichi
    Date: Thu, Apr 2 2009 01:37:14

    well answer's hand isn't the long and slimmest but it definitly looks cool to me with long nails. like look at the vids of him w/o long nails and idk it just looks more elegant.

    Date: Sat, Apr 4 2009 04:24:18

    ever since i've started spinning, i've kept my nails long. it just feels/looks weird when I cut them and start spinning. its feel like...something is missing lol

    Date: Sat, Apr 4 2009 16:59:17

    For me i used to PS with long nails.
    Since i started playing guitar and other instruments.
    I had to cut mines off.
    -Rae- i know how its feels.
    When i got my all cut off.. i wasnt used to it..
    took me like 2-3 weeks to get used to it. happy.gif
