Other than growing out my nails and painting them all the time, is there any other options for something thats there to stay for awhile.?I love the look of a french manicure and long nails, but I don't care for acrylics because they feel so heavy.
yes.. its called a silk wrap. what they do at the salon is apply a white tip (for a french look) and then add one layer of brush on glue, after the glue they apply a piece of silk wrap that covers your entire nail and then they apply another layer of glue and then they dry the glue. when the glue is dry they will add about two more coats of glue. it looks great, its not chunky like acrylics, you never have to polish because it looks like a french manicure, it lasts a long time, and it doesn't damage your natural nail.
i HIGHLY recommend getting silk wraps over acrylics. they cost about $50 at some places but its well worth it.I love the look of a french manicure and long nails, but I don't care for acrylics because they feel so heavy.
Sure, you can buy the glue on ones, but they only last a week
sally hansen sells do-it-yourself french manicure kits. ive used them before they work pretty good, just make sure you use a good quality clear coat to seal it.
Growing them would be best cause acrylics causes fungus and messes up your natual nails
nope acrylic is the way to go, and I have had them for years without any problems
you should probably ask for a very light shade of acrylic and they will make it look like your nails
no not really...personally i dont think long natural nails look good even if they are done professionally! sorry :l just try the fake nail tips they look alot better
look for a Tammy Taylor salon---not just one that uses Tammy Taylor products, but one that does the Tammy Taylor process on the nails---they don't drill and can do an overlay on your natural nails (which ends up being thin and very natural looking). they use a white acrylic for the tips, then a pink acrylic for the nail bed--you don't even have to use a clear polish, just buff them for a natural french manicure look:)
nope not that i know of...sorry..lol
Press on nails.
not rily...if u find a way let me no!!!! lol....

Do guys even care when a girl has an awesome manicure?
Actually yes....I love nicely manicured nails on a girl...topped off with black or red nail polish..Do guys even care when a girl has an awesome manicure?
They do when we scratch them down their backs!

How 2 take care of my nails-i took off my artificial nails-i like french manicure?
If you took off the nails, then all you can do is put them back on for your nails to have the french manicure look. If you have had artificial tips applied, find someone who will sculpt a nail. Then it will be much stronger, and much less likely to get infection under the tip.Cats
Nail Care/ Manicure Etiquette?
Here's the deal-all my life(yup-all 21 years of it!) I've never quite known how to cut/shape my nails. Some say cut straight across, others say curve around the top of the nail and this just leads me with a headache! Plus I don't know how short I should cut them! So, to make a long story short-i've decided to get a manicure to see once and for all what my nails should look like so I can do it myself after that!
My question is this-should I cut my nails a bit before the manicure? Or leave them? What is the proper manicure etiquette? Are there secret rules women have? If so please share! Even if you think its common courtesy/knowledge please share anyway! I'm a guy! We're oblivious!!!Nail Care/ Manicure Etiquette?
Its fine either way because part of the manicure is to shape the nails. Sometimes its best to leave them if you are not sure as this means instead of you accidentally mishaping them. Everybody's nails are different. The best way to know what shape to shape them is to look at the bottom of your nail and see what shape that is
Enjoy your manicure, it really will make a difference to your nails. I used to be a manicurist

My nails break! it is terrible. I had a manicure and I try to take good care of them?
I had a manicure and my nails were just out of this world, I am like so in love, girlie and pretty. But in the last few days I had two of them break. I loved seeing them rounded and fem. Now it looks like a cow chewed them off! Yuck!My nails break! it is terrible. I had a manicure and I try to take good care of them?
Use a nail strengthener Revita Nails, many people I know used it and I have to say all of them would have great feedbacks about it.
Also ask them to buff lightly on the top of your nails and not to much. This can thin and weaken your nails.
Also they should be using natural nail filer.
Most salon buff to much or use the acrylic nail filer and that will cause your nails to break.My nails break! it is terrible. I had a manicure and I try to take good care of them?
There are special nail polishes in any local CVS that are designed to straighten nails. All you have to do next time you get a mani is either bring this polish with you or ask about their nail strengthening polishes. They can put this polish as a base coat, and then a normal color on top. Hope this helps =D
just be careful what you do. like...don't type on the keyboard, don't play sports, (though sports are amusing ^^) and don't get into fights. (lol)
Try using Dr Lewinn stuff. I don't have the same problem but I know someone who did. She started using nail hardener from Dr Lewinn (it's a brand) and now her nails are really strong and never break.
My mother swears by taking vitaming/mineral Biotin. My sister swears by eating peanut butter.
drink more milk or eat more yogurt... get more calcium somehow. That'll help your nails grow in stronger.
calcium and use some of that protecting coat stuff from sally hanssen

Manicure care kit- where to buy?
I received a Revlon manicure care kit back in the late 60s as a Christmas gift. When I was in grade school, nail polish was not allowed. My mom bought me a Revlon manicure care kit. It has a buffer, cream and, I think a cuticle remover. It was a basic kit, but it was great! Does anyone know where I can buy something like this? Or, do I have to buy the items separately?Manicure care kit- where to buy?

Taking care of a manicure and acyrilics?
I just got some acrylics dones at the nail salon today. Any tips on keeping them pretty? I have two kids, but my hubby wanted to pamper me. Advide plz?Taking care of a manicure and acyrilics?
Dont use nail polish remover with acetone in it, it will eat away at your nails and make them kinda sticky. Get them filled in about 2 weeks. Other than that, leave them alone. If on breaks or comes off for whatever reason, don't try to fix it youself, go back to the salon. Don't change the color yourself, have the salon people do it for you.Taking care of a manicure and acyrilics?
if your not used to having pretty nails, just be careful not to hit them on anything, and when you put your hands in water, wear gloves, and just be sure and get them filled every two weeks or so....good luck
I wore acrylics for over ten years and just quit in May. I loved them because my nails always looked great and I never really had to do anything with them. The only pain was the every other week fills. That is what you need to do in order to keep them looking good.
Enjoy!!!
