short nails or long? painted or natural? fake or real?

Answer 1

i had french acrylics for ages, and i had them removed and now that my nails have grown in healthy, i like the real ones better, but i still get manicures, and my nails are not very long, i think really long natural nails look gross.

Answer 2

If you go to a good salon, then the damage will be next to nothing - if anything at all. It's those cheap places that you have to worry about. The ones that charge like $ 20-25 for a full set, allow walk-ins, and don't speak our language? Those places are the worst you can go to, and they DO have a reputation for being unskilled and ruining your nails. Instead, avoid these places, and find a GOOD, reputable salon where they really do care about their work, and take pride in it. I mean, just the language barrier is a really bad thing to have to dela with. How can it be good id the only way to describe, or voice your concerns is to point at your nails, and make simple hand gestures to get your point across to them? And that doesn't work lots of the time. And, the only words you speak a lot of the time when you enter these cheap places is things like "Full set," or "Fill." The only things they say to you a good percentage of the time is, for example, "how short," or "You go wash," and of course, "what color?" That does not make for good communication between the tech and the cusstomer, especially if you have special needs, or concerns or possibly problems with your nails. They can't answer you. Now, I'm NOT trying to be racist, and I did NOT point out any one particular race of people. I am, however, speaking the truth about these things. Avoid the cheap salons that are run by immigrants who cannot understand, nor speak much - if any, English. And, that is not true. You can keep acrylic, or gel nails on for a LOT longer than a month. You just need to have them filled on a regular basis. See, a lot of these cheap places have very unskilled, and untrained techs. Many don't even have a valid license to do nails - which is illegal. Anwyay, many of these people cannot do a fill because they don't know how to, and will tell you that you need to have a new full set each time you go in. It's simply not true. You do not need a new full set every month or two, or whatever amount of time. There are a few exceptions, but those are rare for an experienced, and skilled tech. BTW, the amount of time between fills averages 2 weeks, sometimes 3 but no more than that. Oh, and for those who say that they hurt when being removed, this is not true either. When done correctly, it never hurts to have your nails removed. It's these unskilled morons who remove them incorrectly that hurts you. For example, taking a naik tip, and shoving it between your natural nail and the acrylic nail, then prying it off is NOT the way to remove them. Those techs that do that shouldn't be doing nails in the first place. NO nail service should EVER hurt, or be in the least bit uncomfortable. Ever. Acrylic nails need to be slowly soaked off in pure acetone. Geez , I really wish they would ban all these sleazy, cheap, and unsanitary chop shops.

Hi. The topic of fashion is a fun one. Most usually if your getting the acrylic nails done, you can pick what they call the career length. It looks great and does not enter fear with your work. Usually a taupe or mauve color is great for the office. But sometimes you can't beat classic red. Either way. Manicured will never lose.

Answer 4

Well, I have long natural nails that have an overlay of acrylic on them because my nails are so thin they tear easily and they are painted red. That's what I have... and thats what I prefer.... I am just assuming that's what you wanted to know.
