Let your hands be ugly! My hands aren't pretty & I don't care. My nails are very short because they get in the way of guitar playing & drumming if they are any bit of long. I have calluses on my fingers tips, fingers & palms from drumsticks. I rarely wear nail polish cause it chips off from playing music & I don't care! I'd rather have weird lookin' hands & be a good player than be a vain person who's afraid to get dirty!
