The Fingernail Thread.

Which finger do you start on when you're cutting them?
Why?

 

[RossMAN]

Since I'm right handed I'll start on the left hand, thumb first.

 

[Mrfrog840]

whichever is longest, thats the hand i start on first and i do the thumb first

 

[DAGTA]

I don't cut my fingernails; I tear them. I don't do them all at once, either. Whichever needs shortening at that moment gets shortened.

 

[pontifex]

i bite my nails all the time and right now they are disgusting because they are down really low. i really need to stop that bad habit.

 

[nakedfrog]

I usually start with my left index finger, since I cut the fingernails on my left hand much more often than the rest for guitar purposes.

 

[LeiZaK]

I start on the left hand, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky, thumb... then repeat for right hand.

 

[Frosty3799]

right hand, right thumb first.
<-- lefty

 

[Tremulant]

start with my right index finger, then to middle, ring, pinky and thumb.

same for left hand.

I'm left handed.

 

[shilala]

I always start on my left hand with the fingernail that is screwed up the worst.

 

[Ramma2]

Left thumb to pinky then right thumb to pinky.

Although my left pinky nail has a hole in it at the moment (nail gun incident) so I think I'm going to try to grow it long enough to preserve the piece of nail with hole intact.

 

[CraigRT]

Left hand, index finger first.. I am right handed.

 

[Nevada]

left index finger

 

[Sean D]

always the left thumb first.

 

[Trikat]

Thumb first as it is more efficient.

 

[MixMasterTang]

My left index finger.
