Thread: How to Cut your Fingernails For Cubing

  1. #1

    Exclamation How to Cut your Fingernails For Cubing

    This Is How I normally cut my nails:
    Thumbs: short so I can see the stickers.
    Index Finger: flat so it helps it from getting caught in piece.
    Middle finger: short/flat.
    Ring finger: Flat.
    Pinky: short.
    P.S Experiment a little!, If you have an updated version please put in the comments!
    And also Thank you guys for the replies!

    For me it doesn't matter because they are always short because of chronic nail biting!

    I bite my nails too, but I'm trying to grow them on one hand so I can play guitar properly. Couldn't care less about cubing.

    This.
    Before cubing I was learning guitar and im mostly into classical so i need long finger nails to play. But with cubing...
    Just recently picked up my guitar and im getting back into the old times.

    Uh, I just cut them all. Despite being female, I don't like long nails. They get in the way and I just can't be bothered with maintaining them.

    Good to know I'm not the only one.
    I cut them so that the white parts aren't visible.

    Exactly what I do.
    So much less of a hassle when you just cut it off.
