I used acrylic nails for a long time, as my own grow slowly and are not that strong. Then I switched to gel overlay only. I have a wonderful manicurist who took very good care of my nails, but due to budgetary reasons I had to give up that one luxury.
When I had acrylics, yes, I had one catch on fire one day! Really scary!!...Then one other time my best friend and I couldn't get appointments at our then regular manicurist and went to another salon a few short hours before a holiday semi formal dance...As I was sitting at the table in the ballroom with my handsome date my nails began popping off into the air flying across the table , one by one! So much for that manicurist AND my ego! LOL

Well, personally I would have a problem with it. I don't care much for fake hair, boobs, or butt injections. My initial attraction is looks, so it would bother me. I don't want to touch a fake body. Even if the relationship is good, I'm still going to have thoughts about her if she is bald headed (not that all bald chicks don't look hot). Would I feel deceived, certainly yes. That is something I need to know in the beginning of the relationship. Whether I choose her or not, I would respect her more. Now there are some exceptions. I understand that some women need artificial hair and in those cases, I might let it slide. ONLY if it doesn't fall apart. Love and attraction are two different things in my eyes, so I need both.

Yes I have put on fake nails. I done that for about 6 years. I worked in them and every. I have caught them on fire a couple of times as well.
I never did have them done, I did it my self, so much cheaper than having it done. Plus I also worn French Tips as well. I always thought they looked so "dressy".
I did plumbing, gardening, and canning with them as well. Never had a problem with the zipper, guess I was lucky there.
But with this last job that I have now, fake are not allowed, and no polish. So that is that for now with them. And your own finger nails have to be kept short as well. This summer when I out off work for 2 1/2 to 3 months, I might wear them again.

Yes, I have gotten acrylic nails several times. I used to bite my nails to the quick, but have gotten a little better over time. I have tried Hard as Nails, and that works for a time, but they start to turn yellow. I have given up the artificial nail route and just don't care anymore now. Occasionally I will throw a little
nail polish on. I remember I used to always paint my nails Black for Halloween. Even before black was was the rage. People used to look at me funny, but of course I didn't care.

Occasionally I will buy nails at the drugstore, but I've never had them professionally applied. I've been blessed with strong nails, but sometimes they're brittle (and sometimes I slice one while slicing food -- I've also been known to slice flesh).
During bowling season, there are one or two that stay broken down to the quick, so I keep them filed down and covered with fake. Most people aren't aware of them, because I keep my nails fairly long (between 1/8 and 1/4 inch beyond the nail bed).
I have had one pop off while bowling, and I had to walk down the alley to retrieve it. It's always good for a laugh. Everybody knows when I get down on my knees at the foul line and put my head to the floor I'm looking for a fingernail, because it's happened more than once.

LOL! You put your nail out in his drink? roflol!
Yes, now that I am composed, lol...I have worn them in the eighties and nineties.
I lost many! I think the most embarrassing time was the night my daughter got married! She had insisted that I be her Maid of Honor, as she said I was her Mom and her best friend. I did not want to say NO but, I knew it would be very hard to stand there as she married! So, I agreed.
I did just fine and restrained the tears but, when it came time for me to take her bouquet...the tears flooded my eyes and I reached for the bouquet and hit her ring hard...the nail popped off and went air born! Of course, most everyone could see this and I am still trying to live that down!
Funny thing is, I was asked what happened to your nail? Without thought, I put up my middle finger to show the bare nail. Everyone cracked up as they thought I was giving someone the wrong message!!! ROFLOL

I've tried them twice. Both times they were the kind from the store, not from a professional salon. The first time was at my second wedding, and I ended up loosing not one, but two in the toilet when trying to wipe. That was really lovely. The second time was for a Halloween party, and I lost one in some chip dip and didn't notice until someone else pointed it out. I was so embarrassed.

Long ago when press on nails first came out I wore them for a date, all dressed up, going to a fancy place. All was well until I went to the ladies room and washed my hands and....down the drain they went.
Several years ago while trying to strengthen my own and grow them out I wore the glued on nails for a couple of months. I quit when people in the office would come up to me laughing and hand me a nail they found on the carpet somewhere.

Yes I have worn them a few times and finally gave up and said grow my own. I could never zip up my jeans with them, If I went out for the evening drinking.. I had to have my friend zip and unzip the jeans. I poked myself in the eye, forgetting how long they were, that hurt. and of course like you popped one off and looked like a doofus with 9 nice ones and one short one, which was the middle finger..and the last straw was getting an infection under one of them.. never again.. to much bother for the price of them...

Have you ever had em put on,then gone to pee and couldn't get your jeans unfastened???
( I actually let my baby sister talk me into going to nail school.I had lots of free time on my hands and she said I would enjoy the creative aspect of it- boy does that stuff STINK.Even now thinking about it my nose wrinkles.)
I tried it for a while,but I use my hands WAY too hard to keep em,so it's real and real short for me.I don't know how some folks "wipe" with the really long ones on!
