please help...the ppl who get fake nails often?

Question

ok well i got fake white tips on my nails the day before christmas[2006] and they lasted for a long time but the clear protection it has over it was starting to get lower. so then i needed a fill but i started taking them off myself and got that line...crease thingy on my nails. lol and so i got them done again but u can still see the crease thing. how do ppl get different nails all the time without that crease? please help! if u can understand the question lol

Answer 1

the crease helps hold the arcrylic in place. I suggest you should get a solid color. No need for design. I think it's a waist of money. Just get a solid color and remember not to take them off your self because when you peel it off. your natural nails comes with it. it makes your nails thinner. Of your nails is thin and you have to come back for your refil, it would hurt really much. Just go to the salon and spend like 20$. they would take out your old ones without damaging your nails and give you a full set with colors. you would look as good as new. Or instead of getting a solid color, you could use white pearl instead of clear pink. the white pearl can cover the crease but not well.

There is no way to completely get rid of the crease other than letting it grow out. If you have them filed down, it might bother you less because it's less visible, but keep in mind you're gradually thinning out your nail more and more, making it increasingly thin, fragile and weak. That's all fine if you're going to get them done every two weeks, but if you ever wish to go back to your natural nails they'll be quite damaged for a while.

I used to get my nails done often, but after the last time I grew out the damage I decided to keep them healthy and I'm much happier with the results. (And it's so much cheaper! I still get french manicures, but I have the professional use the polish on my real nails instead of the fake stuff.) It's a price difference of about $20 but it looks just as lovely.

Answer 3

when you next go to get your nail's done ask the girl/guy who is doing them to file the crease out he/she should do that anyways like a little manicure also file the top layer of your nail so it becomes smooth and straight and to help the crease not as noticeable to buff the nail before placing any more fake nails onto your nails.
so when you next go in tell them to gentle file and buff your crease as much as possible without damaging your nail to much.

Do NOT pull off the nails yourself as it flakes the nail causing your nail to get very thin and brittle get the salon to remove them for you but if you HAVE to get them off on your own soak your hands in warm water for 10-15 minutes then on each nail soak it with nail polish remover it makes the acrylic more soft from the chemicals in the nail polish remover then after they are all off with a buffer and a gentle soft file, file the top layer but make sure u don't do it to much then put a coat of clear nail polish on till your nails grow out and become stronger. Good Luck.

Answer 4

It always happens when the nails grow out. You can ask the nail tech to file them down, but chances are there will still be a hint of where you get filled each time. If it really bothers you, you can get a color instead of the french manicured look, or try a pale pink color before the french tip to help look natural. But trust me, no one can see the lines besides you, and they will still look good!

Answer 5

what i think you would need to do is take off the old nails altogether and get it redone as clear acrylic is transparent so it shows everything underneath even after a filling OR just use another acrylic color for the refill that isnt transparent like the pinkest- pink

Answer 6

I know exactly what you are talking about... your gonna have to wait till that crease grows out of the nail.... it sucks i know... did your hurt when you took them off?

Answer 7

get a solid color and a couple of designs and i have a question for u are u getting the nails on and instead of taking them off your self get a fillin

Answer 8

You have to get them regularly done so that the fill covers the growth. Don't tear them off yourself or wait too long so they begin lifting- that's when they're hard to fix!
