Fake Nails!

Lissa · 12-18-2006, 11:03 PM

I've done the fake nails thing on and off for a while, I know when I get them done my nails are always sore for a day or two but then they're fine after that. They just became too much to maintain...or rather I just didn't feel like maintaining them so I'm going without them for now.

I've done the acrylic nails in the past, but don't now, because I just don't have the time to maintain them right now....and I like to go a little more natural than that. I have lots of friends who still do, and they look really nice, so nothing against them at all.

One thing that will help your natural nails is drinking fresh brewed green tea. I really got into doing this for a while for the antioxydents, for heart health. I read you could live longer drinking green tea. My nails got much thicker and stronger, less brittle but I did not get the connection until I read recently that green tea can strengthen your nails. Just a thought.

Really ?? I have green tea and maybe need to start drinking it again - i know from hormone problems my nails are so brittle now and my hair is falling out by the ton....wonder if green tea would help that too ?

I would love to try it. I just can't stand the taste of Green tea. I wonder if taking Green tea pills would work instead?

That's an interesting point, Marilyn. I've been drinking Green Tea for the last month or so for heart health and didn't notice until I read this that my nails really are stronger!

I had acrylic nails from the time I was 14 until about 6 months ago - I'm 23 now. I would take them off for a couple months here and there, but they were mostly always on. I like to let them breathe and grow out every now and then though. I'm going to have them put on again this afternoon!

I tell you another reason why I would like to get them.. I have short stubby fingers. I am really hoping that with nails they will look a LOT better. LOL

Here is a video of how my nails were done. There was no drilling nothing at all like that. My nails are also NOT that long... LOL They are the sport length and are rounded. She also didn't put any tips on my nails either. My nails are a little sore when I put pressure on them from the side. I am sure it is only becuase I am not use to them yet. Other than that I really like them. Typing is going to be a challenge till I get use to them.lol

Michelle, I'm glad you're enjoying your new nails!
I can't stand the weight of polish on mine, so know acrylics aren't for me.
They look nice, but I can't imagine being able to wear them long term.
