If I get my nails done at a salon, can I upkeep them for several months..myself? If anyone does this themselves, what exactly do you buy/use?
(I have NO nails and can't afford to go back to a salon every two to three weeks.)

i have executed it myself. It helps once you're ambidextrous, because you favor to apply a small paintbrush to stay with the fabric once you've softened the cuticle and pushed them lower back with an orange stick and hard the uncovered area of the organic nail with an emery board (and ensure to get the antiseptic, anti-fungal stuff so that you at the prompt are not getting an infection). you also should be somewhat careful because the acrylic lumps in case you do it incorrect, so then you definitely will be wanting a nail clip (not nail clippers, those are pointed snips that look like small pointy-tipped snub-nosed pliers). The you favor to apply a difficult emery board to tender the nail, then you definitely use a particular 3-facet buffer. I actual may advise you get them crammed (and painted). the cost of commence-up on the supplies may be prohibitive. call round in the present day and observe in case you won't be able to discover some position to do a fill. in basic terms pay attention of the mall shops -- I have had beautiful nail jobs thoroughly destroyed by skill of those women people!

I dont think it is such a good idea. You obviously have no skill or experience with professional nails so i think it will be best if you go to a shop and buy your own 'fake' nails that comes in a set with the correct filling tools etc and that will give you instructions on how to do it. The best solution to this though is to grow your nails yourself naturally. No biting, no picking at them, always use a clear coating over them to keep them strong and just look after your nails and hands.
Enjoy, Kim

Just FYI, filling the nail won't be as expensive as the original acrylics, and you could just let them go a little longer than you're supposed to.
Good luck finding a solution, I have super-short nails that I hate, too!

You can fill them but in order to get the professional look you need to go to the salon. Try just getting manicure much cheaper and easier to keep up at home.

You could do it yourself, but it won't be very easy. Perhaps if you go to a beauty supply store and get all the things you need, you could have a friend do it for you. It isn't that hard to learn how. My mom does mine for me. She went to beauty school for like 6 or 7 months.

If you go to a place like Sally Hanson they have the stuff you would need. It is easy to do:)
