Fake Nails? Thanks girls <3?
Alrighty, basically i want to know all the pros/cons of fake nails. Facts and opinions. Where do you get yours done? All my friends get them from time to time, and i think i want to get mine done. I've heard tons of ups and downs like 'bacterial infections from the nails', 'cheap looking', and 'hurts alot'. On the other hand (haha), they look really good. Thanks ladies.

Hey, i have had mine done a few times now and it pretty much depends on the salon! A cheap one will file and buff your natural nail down roughly which could lead to bleeding because they charge cheaply so cant afford great products,however if u choose a nice nail bar they are carefull about your nails and take more time on them because your paying a higher price! There are some down sides about them: Once you get them remived your natural nails will be weak and possibly discoloured due to lack of air getting through.Also the price can be vety expensive because you also need to pay to get them taken off as well as the treatment! Yes your nails will be weak but only take a few weaks to harden and grow out and if u try using a nail strengrenthner this will speed up the growth! Overall its a good investment for stunningly beautiful nails! Hope this helped

They don't hurt, they take some gettin use to tho!! I used to get mine done, the upkeep was really expensive and when they came off permanently my nails were weak and most broke straight off. When you have false nails your real nails can't breathe.
I get mine done with gellux now, it helps your nails grow as its breathable and is like a nail varnish, but it doesn't chip for a couple of weeks. Its nourishin aswell so my nails have really grown, to aslong as my false nails used to be, I have the french manicure style so you can hardly tell the difference. And the gellux is cheaper!!

im a nail tech. myself make good moneys base on my experience you need to get a full set over your real nails. but you will need a refill every 2 week or so(if your nails grow fast than get it early) but since you are new. so im going to tell if your nalis are good or not once it done.
1-if the person take more than 45 min then he/or she is new to nails tecnology
2-see if they polish good enough(look to see if they poilsh that touch your skin) usually nails tech. never touch the skin.
3-how much does it cost, usually it cost around 20-25 depend on where you live. if you live in those rich area then it gonna cost more
4-you can get infected if you have an opening in your nails where water can get in, this may cause you to get a mold in your nails. infections can also be cause by unsanitary tools.
well i hope this help you

If you are getting them for the first time, get gel nails instead. They do not hurt. If you get them done at a clean, well kept nail salon, they will not look cheap.

Acryllic nails destroy your natural nails. I get a shallac done on my natural nails and it makes them ultra strong so your natural nails can grow out healthy and pretty. Also, as you said fake nails are painful and if you are a smoker you can easily melt your thumb nail lighting a cigg.

Pros:
Length...
Cons:
Costly, damaging, can cause infection, hurts, can be done poorly, fumes are harmful to be breathing in.
I got gel-ish done and it made my nails grow a lot! Lasted me 4+ weeks! It was $30 where I got it done.
