Many Asian people have long nails but not in every finger, i think that's to help them on their work to facilitate something or to protect. If you see some chinesse videos you will notice that
i don't know if this is true or not, but I've heard Rossman say something about this work not being for people with no fingernails. Me, I keep a brass tube on my bench with the end shaped like a fingernail.
I see the long pinky nail on Vietnamese men, in particular. I figured it is more for style. Or for snorting something.
WHY THESE DIRTY AND SMELLY NAILS
Really? I am struck by how clean they are. Do you think long nails on a woman are dirty and smelly? And yet God knows what they look like under the paint.
This makes me wonder; we evolved nails for a reason. I'm picturing early man waiting for his nails to grow out to finish making a tool, lol.
