Fake nails?

[miSsy_chriSsy]

je m'excuse.

j'étais en immersion comme 10 années passé....

[Séguin]

Never took immersion. Didn't want to. I hate french. I was just born french unfortunately.

[tiedye]

But we tolerate you nonetheless.

[Séguin]

at least you rarely have to in real life.

[tiedye]

Isn't life better when you understand things my way, Robb?

[Séguin]

It's because I'm only 4 foot 6.

If I had fakes I'd at least get out of the habit and stop stop biting.

YESSSSS!

Im a former biter, and got fakes for the same reason. What's worse is that sometimes you pick or bite anyways and then crack a nail. SO disappointing. That said, I was really worried about getting them taken off. It's actualy been an exercise in will power, and I feel proud when my nails are pretty AND my own. Good luck! Stay on top of those cuticles with a cuticle oil pen. Sephora's are best (thanks Avana), or sally hansen even makes them. Just take a little time every night to rub it in. Use hand cream regularly too. Just try and baby your hands for a while and think, if I leave them alone long enough, they're be ready enough for a manicure, and treat yourself! Getting fake nails and then taking them off at whatever point will put you at square one again... with damaged nails.

I heard almonds are too.

Gel with a white Gel tip backfill (only some places do this)

Acrylic nails lift really bad imo and yellow much easier, esp. if you spend lots of time outside.

If you tan make sure you cover them up with something cause they go yelllowww.

[galaxie]

UV gels are the only way!

I have square french acrylics. Right now there's a little green star on each ring finger and thumb. They are medium length.

My dad called them "porn-star nails" and now I can't even look at them. Ruined forever. :S

[thechix0r]

I've never had fake nails before because I've danced for years and long nails are a no no. I was thinking about getting them for a while, but I still have gone yet. I love pedicures and have been thinking of getting manicure and pedicure before my vacation.

Who knows maybe Prozac will talk me into fakes!

[zarlon]

oh wow. you girls are so classy

i've only gotten my nails done professionally once... and it was my aunt who did them :(

i'll break the fuckers anyways, its just no good ;P

[Séguin]

Okay, new suggestion. Vitamin D, if taken daily leads to strong nails that grow quite fast. I haven't have one break or chip in over half a year.

[veN]

^ Does that work for hair too?

[Séguin]

I have no idea. But my guess would be no.

This video is soooo funny, ladies! Funny, but this is exactly what happens like, every time I go in for a pedi.

the only thing i dont like about fake nails is, your nails are so weak and destroyed after for weeks:(

[trancedreams]

I have people ask me if they're fake all the time but i've never had fake nails in my life.

same, but i don't go out of my way to take care of my nails. so, i guess i can place the "blame" on good genes or whatever...
