My nails are the longest they have ever been. (thanks shellac!) I'm having problems with typing. My pointer finger on my left hand hurts I think it's cause I'm touching the keys with my nail.

I definitely use the pads of my fingers, but I've been growing my nails out for Vegas, and they're getting in my way and being annoying. Thank goodness this is the last day. LOL
I usually have my nails long (except three ripped last night so I cut them all SUPER short). I tend to type with my fingers a little higher on the home row, so that the nail usually ends up actually just going over the top of the key and my pad hits the key, except on my index finger but mine are kind of retarded thanks to childhood arthritis so I often use the nail on that finger as extended finger. With my hands scootched just a tad higher like that though, when my finger goes to the top rows, no issues and the nail is more likely to be what's pressing on the lower keys but it doesn't bother me.
Meh, my piano teacher always hated that I wore my nails longer (they just grew too darn fast!) and while I kind of liked the clicky noise on the keys, she hated it and claimed it would lead to lazy hand position.
