Long nails, love or hate?

I just had to cut off my nails :( Because too many of them were already on their way to  break, so I decided to cut them off, so sad I know :o

But what do you think? I mean, long nails are so beautiful and your fingers looks longer and slimmer, but you have to be quite careful with them, and it's harder to do all kind of stuff, eq. texting.
Short nails are so much more easier, and of course you can make them look nice too with some nice paintings etc :D
