to have nails or not to have nails

so i put on fake nails for the e-shoot and then i cut them down for work...and i LOVE the way the short nail looks!!!

so natural, yet waaaay better than i could ever do and the nail polish isnt chipping!!! i am definately looking at my hands and my more!

so, i am thinking about getting nails done....but i know i dont need the expense...and its not really healthy for your nail

maybe i should wait for christmas time..and then those 4 months leading up to the wedding...

idk...i think i need to hear other opinions. i could reallly go either way

i was thinking of the LCNs, which i kno is even more $$.....

hmmm

i am not really a fan of the acryllic nails anymore but you can get silk wraps which require less maintenance and i think look more natural!

Re: to have nails or not to have nails

ive tried to get rid of my acrylics but I love them too much and they make my hands look a h*e*l*l of a lot better then my regular nails. I dont keep mine long at all becuase otherwise I couldnt type as fast.

Re: to have nails or not to have nails

I have the strongest, hardest nails that grow like an inch a week (exaggerating) so I am getting a French mani/pedi, that's it. No fake nails.

I have the LCN nails and love them. I swear I go once a month and they look great. Very shiny and beautiful

Re: to have nails or not to have nails

I plan on putting short tips on my nails for the wedding, I don't like the way polish looks on my natural nails, so I will have to put some kind of tips on

Re: to have nails or not to have nails

i have very strong & long nails so i will not be getting anything fake on. its no good for your nails & for you to breath in the fumes from the acrylic.

Re: to have nails or not to have nails

I get LCN done all the time, its kinda expensive though, maybe it just my salon but it cost me $50 every time plus tip plus like 2 hours that it takes lol

i would wait till closer to the wedding to get them maybe like 2months before or something but theyre great!! they never chip and everyone always think theyre real cuz i get them pretty short also

Light Concept Nails (LCN) are a cosmetic fingernail product manufactured by German company Wilde Cosmetics. An alternative to acrylics, Light Concept Nails are made of a gel-like light cured resin. They are safer, more natural in appearance, and more durable than acrylic nail products and they are non-porous, so they protect the natural nail and do not discolor over time.

Re: to have nails or not to have nails

I bite my nails....like really bad....i'm going to try to stop soon but if i can't then i might have to go the silk wrap route

Re: to have nails or not to have nails

I persionally detest silk wrap I never had luck with them and the nail ladies would always kill my fingers when they filed
