Can you kickbox with sort of long fingernails? How long is too long?

I want to try kickboxing, but I just starting growing my nails long and they look so pretty (haha)...
How long can I keep them? Right now the tips are about 2mm

idk, you're supposed to wear gloves. as long as you can make a proper fist, I dont think it matters.

Your hands would be clenched in a fist. As long as you can do that I don't see any problem.
