I use the tips of my fingers more when just my own short nails. I prefer that. However I am going to a Halloween themed wedding after Halloween and put on long fake nails to be part of witches costume. I found the problem was I could not type very well. I had trouble picking anything small up as I was trying to do it with the sides of fingers. I couldn't use the pad of my finger for even pushing buttons on a bath room code or our older vehicle without fobs. I just didn't have the strength in pushing with just the pad of forefinger. I actually pressed one thumb over the other thumb to get van door open. It's only for a costume but I took them back off and will reapply the night before the wedding. I suggest you ask the beautician to give you work length nails and she'll know what to do. If still too long, you could go back and have her shorten them.
