Why do women want their acrylic nails look like huge freaky talons?

What do you consider "super long"? Mine (real nails, not acrylics) stick out about half a cm above the top of my finger. I had to cut them short a couple of months ago because I tore a few off and it was a very odd sensation to actually be touching things with my fingertips again, they felt super sensitive.
I grow my nails because I think it looks elegant and feminine like this neway look Kind of like why I have long hair, and shave my legs. I like how it looks.

That is too long for my taste. 3-4 mm is how much I'd allow it to grow. Beyond that it honestly looks witchy. This is one trend I just don't get the appeal of

That above picture is ugly. Way too long.

Your nails look beautiful.

That's not 1/2 cm. ^^

I don't like the look.

I use my hands.

My nails never extend past my fingertips and usually just have the tiniest mm or two of white. Maybe sometimes as long as 4-5 mm.

This is about as long as I'd go (love the color).

People wear them because they like them. Next question?

I have really long nail beds. And super healthy nails. So, they quickly go from being nice/neat to dragon-like. I almost always wear Essie Mademoiselle, so hopefully I don't look like a hooker. But there are definitely times when my nails are too long. And I am terrible at doing them, so I wait until my next mani appt.

They call these coffin nails. Creepy.

I am not a nail polish person myself, but I think your nails look nice. That length should be the limit. And the color is very pretty.
