Fake Nails or Natural

Are you getting fake nails for your wedding day or just going natrual?

If you are doing fake, are you getting gel or acrylic??

I'm getting mine done and going with Gel. I LOVE the look of Gel.

I am trying to grow my nails so I can just get a manicure. I hope it works out!

I was going to do acrylic ....what is gel..what is the difference?

---

Well, the gel that I had went like this:

They do your nails the same way....put the tips on ...BLAH, BLAH, BLAH......then they put the french on........then, instead of using clear nailpolish, they put a thick gel on your nails. After they do each finger, you have to put it under the UVray machine. Your nail gets pretty darn warm!!!

But in the end, the french part does NOT chip off at all becuase it's under all the gel.....it's harder than acrylic and lasts longer and looks more natural.

I had gel for the first time when I went to my sisters wedding back home. I LOVED them!!!

I too have had weak thin nails all my life, since i've been taking Biotin and using Nail Tek my nails are stronger..

---

What's Biotin?

---

Posted by Ericab1980

it's a vitamin..i believe a B..it promotes nail & hair growth I started taking it because my hair was thinning in the front..that extra vitamin has actually help let my nails grow and stay strong..

---

WOW....that sounds like something that I need. I've been on lots of medication for the past 3 years and my hair used to be SUPER thick! But it sheds sooooo much and has thinned out

Can you just get that at a drug store??? Is there a certain type i should look for? Brand? Capsule.....gel cap???

It really helped me a lot..I was at the point of pulling chunks in the shower, I knew since I have curly hair that I shed more in the shower as the curly hair bunches but is was getting ridiculous..6 or so months ago I heard of this supplement and been taking it since..give it a try and in 2-3 months you'll notice the difference.. I believe I bought my Biotin in walmart, 500MG capsules.. 1 a day. HTH

Thank you so much for the info!!! I'm heading to Walmart tomorrow to get some! I'll let you know how it goes!
